War Echoes.

Elsie Janis. whose wonderful work with the A. E. F.
overseas gained her a commission as Captain in the Amer
lean army, returned to New York in a much weakened con-
dnion. The life had been altogether too strenuous for her.
but in the excitement of it all she had not realized it
After a few weeks rest. she went on the stage again in
New York with Her Gang" revue. The result was that
she found herself playing solely on her 'nerve"-her nerves
were shattered. The writer gave her Chiropractic adjust
ments. going to the. theater every evening and adjusting
her in her dressing room before, during and after
the performances. The audience could detect no flaw in
her work on the stage, even when she almost collapsed on
reaching her dressingroom. But Chiropractic soon gave her
bacl, her old time vigor. II was a really remarkable demon
stration. not only of nerve" on the part Of Miss Janis. but
also of the tonic and restorative effect of Chiropractic. even
though the adjustments were given under difficulties, in a
case OF shattered nerves.
Margaret Mayo, famous as the author Of Baby Mine"
Twin Beds and other stage successes, returned from
France suffering from a very serious nervous breakdown,
after a prolonged term of service in entertaining the troops
in the immediate vicinity of the front with her company
known as "Mayos Shock Troupe" Five or six weeks of
Chiropractic adjustments and Miss Mayo was restored to
apparently complete health.
The writer has had other Instances OF typical war cases
in which were demonstrated the efficacy Of Chiropractic ad-
justments in sheIlshock, insomnia, chronic neuralgia, par
tinl deafness and impaired eyesight. notably those OF Captain

The Germ Theory.

This brings us to a consideration of the germ theory.
As was said at the beginning of this article, chiropractic
does not deny the existence of germs. To do 81 would be
to deny something which can be seen and known. But this
science of spinal adjustment does deny that germs are the
direct cause of any disease.
Chiropractic considers germs as the scavengers OF the
body. The germs eat up waste and poisonous material with
in the body. But they believe in marrying and giving In
NAL body does not allow them to increase at too rapid a
rate. when they become noisy and boisterous. SO to speak,
thew thrown out OF the normal body. But when the body
is abnormal. the germs find a ready welcome and no Keep
off the Grass" signs. They eat up the waste matter as al
ways. but when that is gone. they start in eating healthy
tissue. Then we have disease.
Germs we have always with us. It is only when they
become too numerous and begin to lunch off healthy tissue
that they are a menace. Through keeping nerve energy
flowing freely to all parts of the body. Chiropractic keeps
them from undue activity.
, 1921-06-26
The Real Cause of Disease

1t is very easy for one or more of the little spinal bones
to slip slightly out of perfect alignment, since they are
movable and since the spine is the recipient OF all the shocks
OF the whole body. There is added cause for a slight dis
placement of these bones from the fact that the spinal
column is upheld by flexible muscles, ngaments and tendons
and any sudden emotion or change in the constituency of
the body fluids tends to contract these and thus pull the
bones out of place.
When one or more of these bones do slip out of align
ment, nerve tissue is pinched. squeezed or unduly tensed.
This interferes with the free flow of nerve energy and
results in some form OF bodily abnormality.
This is the theory upon which the science OF chiropractic
is based. The Chiropractor examines the spinal columns
OF his patient. finds which of the little spinal bones are
out of place, and by AZ, system Of skilled hand thrusts,
puts them back in proper alignment again. That is all he
does.
particular body parts branchway from the spinal cord at
certain definite points. Thus. the Chiropractic philosophy
claims that when certain bones are out Of alignment, it
indicates abnormal conditions in certain corresponding body
parts. So. before taking the kinks" out of the patients
spine. the Chiropractor makes a preliminary analysis in
order to find Just the character of the abnormal body con-
dition. This enables him to work with. accuracy and pre-
cision.
Summing the matter up. the theory of chiropractic is
that interference with free flow OF nerve energy is the cause
of all disease in the human body and the Chiropractors
sole work is to remove pressure upon nerve tissue by ao-
justing the bones of thc,ipinal column, the converging point
of the entire nerve system. This accomplished Nature does
the real work OF Healing.

How About tuberculosis

This is the second "tubercular" case quoted, No medi-
cal cure has ever been found for the terrible malady tagged
tuberculosis" In two cases, as here shown, the phys
icians' diagnosis was wrong. This causes at least a thought
to arise that perhaps there really isn't any such thing as
tuberculosis, Perhaps a certain. combination of abnormal
such a character in common and are SO battling to medical
treatment that it has been found necessary to brand these
conditions, collectively. as tuberculosis" This is not dis
counting the existence OF the micro-organism tubercle bac-
cillus. 1t is merely hazarding the thought that perhaps GER
tain abnormal bodily conditions may be favorable to the
propagation and increase of these germs.
The above is not stated as a fact. Chiropractic makes
no claims to any special discoveries along this line; 1t does
not claim to be able to Danish the Great White Plague. The
tubercie bacill cause a dLsintegration of tissues in the body
and Chiropractic cannot replace tissue once destroyed. But
Chiropractic can. and often does. halt the progression of the
dread malady Tuberculosis by the simple process of get
ting the bodily machine back to normal-and a normal bod
lily machine is no place for a self-respecting germ.

way in which Chiropractc has grown-through one person
recommending 1t to another. A healing science must have
merit when it's growth is due almost. wholly to the good
word spoken by those WHOM IL has benefited.
1t is due to the personal influence. in large measure,
that any single practitioners practice tends to become spe-
cRized. As an example. the writer has. by sheer force of
events, specialized more or less on affection of the throat.

opera singers have seemed to find In Chirupractc surcease

TO the writer and after a single Chiropracuc adjustment,
there was a decided Improvement in her condition. After
the second adjustment. her entire middle register was clear
and after the third adjustment, her voice was perfectly nor

This much as evidence that Chiropractc can and does
get results in throat and lung affections. or course, 1t would
be unfair to the science to confne the evidence to any ono
class of physical affections. or to intimate that II was more
effective in one class of case than in another.

she took treatment, as well as travelling all over the country
in an endeavor to gain relief through change of climate.
Two life insurance companies refused to give her Insurance.
In january of this present year. she began to grow much
worse. She coughed continually, was unable to sleep, lost
weight. and was intensely nervous. Physicians told her there
was only one hope for her-to go west and stay there.
AS a last resort, she decided to see IL Chiropractic would
be of any benefit in her case. An analysis showed that
she was not tubercular at all. but that some of the bones
OF the spinal column were displaced, pressing upon nerve
tissue, which resulted in a bodily condition which closely
simulated tuberculosis.
After three weeks OF Chiropractic adjustments, Miss
Walker recovered completely. She regained her normal
weight, slept soundly, ate well, and felt better than she
had in seven years. She had her lungs tested and the test
showed her lung capacity much above the average for one
OF her sex and size. Instead of going west, sh is now in

What Examination Showed.

An examination showed that the boys hip bone and
sacrum were badly displaced. thus causing pressure upon
the gangiianic nerve centers which supplied the leg and
foot with nerve energy. Inquiry revealed the fact that
the lad had fallen under an auto three years previously,
soon after which his foot began to become 'tubercular."
Before starting with the Chiropractic adjustments, the
boy was taken to one OF the leading orthopedic authorities
in America who was asked TO watch the progress OF the
case This surgeon made an examination and expressed
not only a willingness but a desire to watch how the case
progressed under Chiropractc.
After month OF Ghiropractc adjustments, the pain and
swelling disappeared. The boy was again taken to the ORTIZ
pedic surgeon who expressed the utmost amazement at the
Improvement At the end of the second month of adjust.
the foot was practically normal and Louis Marengo
is today TO stand and walk without any difficulty or
pain. All that was done was TO release pressure on nerves
so that the affected foot could receive its quota OF nerve
energy. Nature did the rest. By a simple process of
spinal adjustment, a twelveyearold boy was saved from
being a lifetime cripple. There doesn't seem to be a great
deal of theory about that.

Does 1t Work?

Now. how does this theory work out in practice? Are
w justified in admitting the correctness of Il? This can
only be shown by the cases in which Chiropractic has been
employed. II positive results are shown in case after case,
we should be justified in accepting it as being at least
a little more than a mere empty theory.
The writer has been giving Chiropractic spinal adjust
ments for the past several years. He takes from his own
files a few illustrative cases, not because they are parncu-
larly remarkable. from the Chiropractic standpoint. but
because they seem representative OF results achieved by
Chiropractors everywhere
