What chiropractic
Will Do
tby Willard Carver, LL.B.,D.C.)

Now that Chiropractic is becoming
80 wide spread, and so thoroughly well
known by intelligent and advanced
people in all parts of the country, il
is arousing a great many inquiries on
the part OF those who have been slower
to see its value, and to adopt it as
being of use to them.
People have thought that Chiroprac-
tic is just sort of Indifferent manip-
nlation, or limited massage, which
might be of much benefit in case Of
sore muscles, backache, or something
of that kind, and are now much sur
prised to learn that Chiropractic is not
limited; but is of broad and general
application to the entire subject of
disease.
Thousands of very intelligent, though
more conservative people are now com
ing enthusiastically to the use of Chiro-
practic, not only for themselves, but
for their families. They are hearing
of its great value, and as matter of
information are now very desirous of
knowing what Chiropractic will do, to
the end that they may be advised as to
just how generally they may use it.
The query put as the title of this
article poses question of such COM
prehenHveness as to be almost impossi-
BILE of satisfactory answer, without
writing too extensively for the busy
person to read.
A cold lies at the foundation of
very large part of human abnormality.
When one stops to think that quinzy,
tonsilitis, pharengitis, laryngitis, bron-
chitis, esophagtis, pneumonia, galloping
consumption, mountain fever, ETC., all
begin from cold, and then under
stands that rheumatism, congestive fe-
yer, lumbago, and many other phases
of abnormality are frequently intro
duced through the medium of exposures
which result in cold, he will see what
wide range, and what an important
element of disease a cold is.
Now, the principles of Chiropractic
properly applied, that is to say, the
breaking up of constructions of muscles
caused by the cold, which are interfer-
ing with the nerves and resulting in
congestions and releasing the nerves
the cold is entirely overcome, and when
one remembers that the wide range of
abnormality indicated in the preceding
paragraph is all removed by this simple
process of releasing nerves he will be-
gin to see how important Chiropra cite
is by seeing what it will do,
Toxins or poisons are in q large ma
jority of cases produced by overeating;
eating bad combinations of food; or
masticating incorrectly. And these
toxins produced in the ailmentary canal
act upon the endings or nerves in the
substance of that canal, and produce
/ nnn riptinuE firof of ol, -
or food tube itself, and then of the It's
sues that lie Immediately around it
called the mesentary, by which it is
attached to the abdominal wall, and
the muscles of the pack relative to the
backbone over the immediate region of
irritation, and because the toxins trav-
)el up and down in the food tube, the
Iregion of irritation is very extensive,
and the interference with nerves, be-
cause of construction, is also very ex-
tensive.
Now, everybody knows that all forms
of auto -intoxication are produced by
these food tube poisons, and that this
phase of trouble always figures large
in all such conditions as malarial fever,
typhoid fever, entric fever, typhus
fever, dysentery, chronic diorrhea, in
f1ammatory rheumatism, all Itases of
abnormality of the liver, splc, kid
neys, and the suprarena glands, in
deed all of the ductless g'alds, and in
many other destructive phas = of dis
ease.
BY application of Chiropractic, the
construction produced by the irritation
described in the preceding paragraph
may be broken up, the rigidity of the
backbone be overcome, and by these
means the nerves may be freed, which
will set up new animation and activity
in the food tube, aiding it in throwing
off its poisons, and getting rid of bad
combinations of food, etc, and also in
creasing the activity of all of the large
glands of the body, which will rapidly
eliminate the poisons, thus overcoming
all the phases of abnormality or dis
ease mentioned. And to the list men
tfoned, appendicitis should be added,
for it neither more nor less than the
result of errors in diet, producing i'm
FACTION in the great pouch of the large
intestine from which the appendix
extends.
The organs that occupy the cavities
of the body, such rs the abdomen and
pelvis are buoyant, and occupy their
relative positions because they are in
n high state of animation through the
nerves, and are, therefore, strong
virile, and mobile.
Everybody knows that any interfer-
cnce with the nerves causes the abdom-
inal and pelvic organs to become weak,
flabby, and catarrhal, and then to sag
out of their place and bear down upon
each other. Women in such conditions
suffer from what is called "female
disease" such as falling of the womb,
whites painful menstration, and all
that class or disorders, while men in
the same condition suffer prostitis,
urethral catarrh, catarrh of the blad-
der, etc.
Now, in any of the troubles men
TONED in the preceding paragraph and
the others limited at, Chiropraetic will
release the nerves to those various or
