ChirOpractOrs

DR.. James G. Greggerson, who lee
lures on chiropractic, is one of the
real characters of profession
rapidly coming into its own, in mere
ways than one; and is, perhaps, tliA
best example, in the profession, s50f
the truth of the chiropractic doctrine
of power. within" that moulds
the destiny of the Individual.
"Dr. Jinl," as he is called, is m
the old log cabin typeathat rs rapidly
becoming extinct. He was born mia
the Pennsylvania hills, and during
his childhood learned his letters by
q system In which the hoe, handle
was the chief inspiration. His. early
life was spent where the cabbages
grow. and he went directly from this
primary school to the United States
regular army. ..s,: ~; '.,# r.
The happy possessor Of a rather
remarkable physical organism, he
made his impress upon the company
in ways that are not adopted in
drawing rooms. '...@ ."
Upon his discharge from the army
for disease incurred in line of
duty he proceeded to search for
health and for fifteen years he
searched in vain, until finally he
started taking adjustments from the
pioneer chiropractor in the district
in which he lived, with such good
results that he quit his business and
went to school and studied chiro-
practic.
His success as practitioner was
greater than common, and in a few
years he not only won financial in
dependence, but also contributed to
the literature of chiropractic some
gems that mark the highest point. |
The following Hre aone of the prod |
ucts Of his pen: .1 !
"We cfiropractors work with the |
subtle substance of the soul. We re- |
lease the prisoned impulse, the tiny
rivulet Of force, that emanates from
the mind and flows over the nerves
to the cells and stirs them into life.
We deal with the magic power that
transforms common food into living,
loving, thinking clay; that robes the
earth with beauty, and hues and
scents the flowers with the glory of
the air.
I'm the dim, dark, distant long
ago, when the sun first bowed to
he morning star, this power spoke
md there was life; it quickened the
slime Of the sea and the dust of
he earth and drove the cell to union
with its fellows in countless living
forms. Through cons of time 1t
inned the fish and winged the bird
and fanged the beast. Endlessly 1t
worked, evolving its forms until it
produced the crowning glory of them
Ill. With tireless energy it blows
he bubble of each individual life
md then silently, relentlessly dis
solves the form, and absorbs the
'pirit into itself again.
"And yet you ask, Can chiroprac-
ic cure appendicitis or the 'fu?'
Deep within us somewhere, in
very. one of us, there is a something

he dying embers of our souls and
ans them into flame; that touches !
