The theory under discussion contents itself at present
with the statement that nerve. energy. whatever It is. is
the motive power of the human machine. Whether this
nerve. energy is generated within the body itself, or whether
natureNno one can at this time state with any degree Of
cxactitude. There are many byways OF speculation on this
point, but no broad, trafficbeaten roads which promise
TO lead to definite knowledge.
This brings us to the kernel Of the Chiropractic theory
that all body processes are controlled through nerve
energy: that as long as this nerve energy is distributed
without interruption to every body part there will be no
abnormaity of bodily function. but that II distribution is
halted nj i.tarfarpd with in any WAY. h BODY machine
will suffer. Health is the result Of perfect transmission Of
nerve energy; disease is caused by interference with such
transmission.
The nerve system. ramifyng every body part, dis
tributes the essential energy throughout the body machine.
II flows along the nerves, not as blood flows. but as cleo
tricity passes along wires.
The main artery OF the system is the spinal cord.
a closely bound bundle of nerves branching away at vari-
GUS points. Tho spinal cord is encased within the bony
confines of the spinal column succession of twenty-six
movable bones separated from each other by discs Of elastic
cartilage. The nerves which go to every body part must
pass through and between these movable bones as they
branch away from the spinal cord. In other words, soft
nerve tissue lies close to hard bony structure.
