ART OF cHIRoPRAcTIc

Speaking of Chiropractic as an art,
we deal with the practical application
and demonstration of the knowledge
of relieving human suffering, the To-
cation of the point where the nerve
is undergoing pressure, then tracing
its course from cause to effect or
from effect to cause, and adjusting
the subluxated vertebra which pro-
duces pressure on the nerve.
The spinal column Is located In the median
line of the trunk and Is generally termed
the backbone OF man. II consists Of "a ir-
regular bones known as vertebrae; the
sacrum and coccyx. On examining a spine
you will find that each vertebra has an
opening In It for the spinal cord to have
passage through, known as the spinal fora
men. Then by placing two vertebrae In
their normal position you will notice a
small opening on either side. This opening
is known as the intervertebral foramen
| and its purpose Is to transmit (for the
passage) the spinal nerves which branch
off from the spinal cord. There are 81
pairs of these small openings In the nor
mai spine, one pair between each pair Of
vertebrae and an equal number Of spinal
nerves branching off from the spinal cord
passing through these openings After they
begin to divide and subdivide these nerves
emerge from the spine until they reach all
parts Of your body so that you can't prick
your skin with even the finest needle with
out touching some of them. II
Now. as long as these spinal bones remain
In their normal position the tntervertebral
foramen (small openings) through which
the spinal nerves pass, will also maintain
their normal size and the nerves pass
through without being pinched or inter-
rupted, but subluxation Of one or more
vertebrae will reduce the size Of the inter-
vertebral foramen. thereby producing pres
sure on the nerve and shutting off the life
current passing from the brain to all parts
of the body. This is the primary cause of
all disease and diseased organs. For ex-
ample. each nerve as II leaves the spine
carries 100 per cent of life current when
normal. but should a subluxatlon produce
so per cent Of pressure on the nerve II
would carry only SO per cent beyond the
subluxation when II Is impinged, and the
organs and muscles depending upon this
nerve for their supply Of life will become
paralyzed and inactive and unable to elim-
mate the waste matter from the affected
parts, and deposits of dead matter take
place which makes favorable condition
for the germs to live and multiply and
diseases Of all description possible. Thus
II is understood that germs are not disease
producers or the cause Of disease, but are
there only as scavengers and In most cases
become necessity rather than de-
stroyer.
Chiropractors have good results in chronic
cases, yet II IL III acute cases tudL hHey get
quick results and sometimes results that
seem almost miraculous. In cases of fever
and Inflammation II Is seldom that more
than five or six adjustments are necessary.
Adjustments give splendid results In the
following abnormal conditions called dis
eases: Appendicitis. pneumonia, lung fever.
typhoid fever, goiter. asthma, female dis
eases tonsilitis, membranous Group, kidney,
stomach and bowel troubles.
Health Is simply a matter of turning on

been adjusted by Chiropractors. Splendid

Chiropractors adjust the spine and re-
