Every day during the past four
weeks early morning patients in the
unpretentious offices OF Dr. Riley would
see enter sad-faced detected man OF
slight build, of less than medium stature.
On his features was written a tale OF
suffering and shattered hopes. This
man, Mr.. Herbert Crook of Palatka,
Florida His eyes were completely
sheltered, front and sides, with glasses
of the deepest hue. He was totally blind!
Ever at his side to guide his footsteps

health and optimism in striking Contrast
to her male companions. It was she
who, after six months of unavailing hos
pital treatment, was completely cured
of high blood pressure by DR.. Riley. 1t
was she who held out to him the last
straw. of hope in his hours of despair. AT
her urgence he had come to Washington.
'Nervously, silently, patiently he sat,
day after day, to await his turn. Other
patients, nodding in his direction, would
whisper in tones of pity: $50 sad, his
blindness! For him is there any hope?
Can anything be done:?"
Today this man can see!
His restored vision is not the mere
power to sense light and darkness, to
distinguish form and color He moves
about unassisted! He reads!
And why, you may ask, do we pub

The Patient

Before his eyesigfht failed. Mr..
Herbert Crook was an automo-
bile dealer at Palatka, Fla. where
he is we'll and favorably known.
When blindness overlook him he
was forced to sell his business.
and since November, 1920, he has
travelled extensively, seeking a
cure for his affliction. He spent
considerable. time in Baltimore,
visited New York, Philadelphia
and even journeyed to Rochester,
Mimi. He consulted the best spe-
cialists in these cities, and his
case was pronounced incurable.
These are his own words:
"When / left Palatka I was
suffering from rheumatism as
we'll as blindness. The special
lists I consulted treated me very
kindly and considerably. Some
applied medicines to my eyes,
some advised an operation. Six
months ago consented to have
all my natural teeth removed,
upon the advice of a specialist,
who thought that my teeth were
poisoning my eyes. These teeth
were found to be sound, and this
operation failed utterly to re-
store my sight. I want it perfect
~ understood that l bear no i'll
will against any of these physi-
clans who gave up my case as
hopeless. They treated me with
the greatest sympathy. and did
their utmost to help me. They
were greatly interested in my
case, and asked that I notify them
a once if ever found cure.
"Dr. Rifey's treatment caused
me no pain, and has restored my
general health as we'll as my
eyesight. My rheumatism is now
entirely gone. I have never been
so happy in my life, and he has
earned my undying gratitude. 1t
was due to fortunate incident
that / heard about the physician
who cured me. and indirectly I
am indebted to DR.. R. E. Downs,
a student in the Riley School. 1t
was he who advised my sister-in-
law to come to Washington,
where she was cured of high
blood pressure by DR.. Riley in a
surprisingly short time. Her
case had been pronounced incur
able, too. 1t was Immediately
after her recovery that I came to
Washington"

The Treatment

xuC 1kC0tA1Cut
The patient, after diagnosis by
DR.. Riley, was found to be suf-
fering from complete paralysis of
the optic nerve, resulting in total
blindness. He was exceedingly
sore in the neck and back. The
occipital, first and second GER
vical vertebrae were found to be
approximated (drawn too closely
together) and subluxated (slight-
ly deviated from the normaD. The
atlas. had been rotated to the
right. The fifth, seventh and
tenth dorsal vertebrae were sub
luxated posteriorly (pushed
slightly backward). The condition
of these last three vertebrae re-
suited in rheumatism. The
nerves, thus impingcdA were also
sympathetically affecting the en-
tire nervous system.
Treatment consisted in adjust
ing these abnornalities to- the
normal and coilcussing. that part
of the spine that affected the
cranial region. Special manipu-
lations and exercises of the eyes
were resorted to, and pressure
was applied between the eyeball
and the bony. structure aboye.
The deep therapy light (actino
ray) was applied the entire length
of the spine. This light was so
effective in stimulating the spinal
nerves that the patients vision
returned momentarily while it
was being applied. This effect
was observed during, the first
three weeks of treatment.
On Tuesday, October 4, about
four weeks after these. treat
ments were begun, the patient
could distinguish light from
darkness and appreciate size and
outline. On Friday, October 2,
he saw the features of his ply
sician for the first time. Sunday,
October 9, he was permitted to
remove his blue glasses. The past
week he has been enjoying the
sights of the capital.

ray treatments applied In this and similar

vi all the physicians THIS man visited,
; did one recommend DR.. Riley, although
he had cured similar cases of blindness
before? Of all the eye specialists who
gave up his case as beyond their power
to cure, did one even suggest chiropractlc
treatment? This man had had all his
natural teeth removed six months ago
at the recommendation of specialist,
who believed that his teeth were affect
ing his eyesight. And his teeth, when
extracted, were found to be perfectly
sound! This part of his anatomy, which
no human can restore, is his priceless
contribution to medico-surgical expert
mentation. To us his recovery is no
miracle; no play of magic art; no secret
lodged in the obscure formula of an
ancient tongue For the dictu1ns of Our
science are based on the unalterable
laws of physics and physiology. With
Lincolnian. simplicity, with cllildlike
naivety our beloved teacher unfolds
to us. each day the simple methods by
which such cures are wrought.
Unethical, this report?
Should these sublime truths be
hidden away useless as were this mans
eyes? Or should we trust to the inaccu-
racies of hearsay to make them known?
Rather will we let the wfirr of the news
paper press proclaim this glittering
triumph of our reverent leader who, we
believe, is the greatest teacher-physician
that lives today!
