Therefore, in this article and those which follow, I shall endeavor to show that Chiropractic is a sensible and successful way to health. The functions of the human body are controlled by a vast system of nerves. The main trunk of these nerves is the spinal cord, which has its origin at the base of the brain and passes down through the center of the spin al column. The spinal column is composed of segments called verte brae, and, between these vertebrae there are openings through which the nerves pass as they branch off from the spinal cord. These branch nerves lead to all parts of the body. The force then, which keeps the body op erating, is a nerve force flowing from the brain to every part of the body. As long as this force is not interfered with, the body is full of health. If FOR SALE. FOR SALE —Early Rose seed pota toes.

Burrows, auctioneer. 51pl the force is shut off there is disease. If the nerve force is shut off on the nerve that goes to the stomach, then the stomach becomes diseased; and so it is with the other organs. There is but one place where this force is liable to be shut off, and that is where the nerve emits through the segments of the backbone. Here the vertebrae becomes twisted in some way or slips slightly from its normal position. Such a condition is called a subluxation and produces a pinch upon the nerve thereby shutting off the nerve force. The Chiropractor knows the spine and, by careful palpation with the fin gers is able to detect this subluxa tion, and by adjustment with the handle removes the pinch upon the nerve, thereby letting the normal force flow. The Chiropractor turns on the switch. A. HAROLD TRUITT, D. C., Graduate of the P. S. C.
