CHIROPRACTIC
PHILOSOPHY

Chiropractic Philosophy rec
ognizes sthe Infinite as a being
with+infndte productive activity,
and as possessing omnipotent
power to reproduce being with
attributes like those of its own,
only in a limited degree. The In
nate-soul-thus comes into ex-
istence, with all divine attributes
and knowledge of the laws gov
erning its own being and those
of other things.
Your life force-where does it come
from? From your brain-or rather
from that part OF the brain we call
the cerebrurn. That Is the power-house
Of the mody. The power it generates
mind you, we do not say creates
is distributed through the body by way
of the spinal cord over a marvellous
networ kof nerves that reach every
part. The finest pointed needle can not
ed to theshrdlu shrdlu hrdiu hrdiurdiu
find a place on the body where II may
prick without the message being fash
ed TO the power-house: Hey some
thing wrong down there" And the
brain flashes back instructions: Get
away from the needle" With the no.
tice to move comes the physical move
ment-you finch. All quicker that the
fash of lightning. All this, OF course
il there isn't a kink somewhere aong
the line between the point attacked
and the power-house, the brain.
Action is the sign Of life
absence Of all action, the Indication
that the control of intelligence over
action has been removed. Biology Is the
knowledge Of the facts Of lfe-ltfe is
action that is guided by Innate In
telligence-in growth. The body acts
in motion, It acts: IN thinking. in
reasoning, in Judging in deciding, the
mind acts. This intelligent action is
action created, Influenced and guided
by intelligence.
Impulses are thoughts-nerve are
tarnsmitters of thoughts-tssue are
the receivers OF impulse thoughts. Tts-
sue 1 sin itself inactive. In character
it can create response only after 1t has
been irnpelled by impulse, or thought,
TO do 50.
Thru the form Of vibration, thoughts
strike the tissue and excite 1t TO re-
Spouse. In the body vibrations are
transferred from the mind to the It's
sues by the nerves. In spoken language
they are transferred by the vibrations
Of the air The eternal IN man is called
soul. The soul is intelligent life! Life
is controlled by an oulntPotent. omni-
present and oTnntsc!ent intelligence.
Death is merely an agent Of dissolu-
ton, not a force OF destruction. The
man. then, Is the product Of union OF
the material of body and the imnater-
iality Of Intelligence. Function is the
power Of motion and feeling. Motion is
life. Life is intelligence. Intelligence
is imrnaterial. Health e a condition
wherein there Is norgnality Of func-
ton Is improperly performed. Death is
not an end, but an ace in sequence to
the furthering Of an object. A stone
rolls but stops and remains stone.
The soul leaves the body, but 1t re-
mains intelligent irnrnateriality- The
cause of health is. therefore normality
Of function. Function is provided by
nerve, energy or inmateral intelh-
gence, coursing over nerve structure
The cause Of disease IS interference
with function. This Interference is
easily traceable to bone pressure on
nerve structure.
In most cases the pressure is found
at the spine. To release the pressure
of osseous spinal segments against
emitting nerve structure adjusts the
cause OF disease and restores normal
functional requirements and health re-
suits. The office OF the Chiropractor
is TO put the segments in normal posi-
ton. When it is out Of alignment it
obviously becomes a nerve disturber.
This only can be done logically and ef-
fectively by the use OF the bare hands
In contact with the osseous, spiDous
and transverse processes Of the In
dtviduai segrnents. To move one Of
these seg7nents is called an adjustment
To effect this permanent realignment
Is the ultimate object Of the Chiroprac-
tors work When he attains his ulti-
mate object his patient will have at
tanned normal refunctioning of body
parts, thru the release of the pressure
ytfe Chiropractor of the osseous sub
stance, an dhealth will be the natural
result of the adjustment. There are
thousands Of Chronic" ,nvaI.ds who
have regained health thro the science
OF Chiropractic.
