Although as a principle Chiropractic is ancient; as a modern, working profession among the sciences of healing it is slightly less than a half century old. During this short space of time as an organized profession it has made remarkable progress. It is for the purpose of opening a vista in the clouds of doubt and showing a panorama of achievements which Chiropractors can truthfully claim, that this book is offered an intelligent American public. You are going to be surprised at our accomplishments as you read and look through the following pages. As you visualize the in..:stment in the many colleges, sanitorilllDs and hospitals you will understand that our profession is no transient or ineffective institution. You will readily grasp from the explanatory articles, accurate charts ru.d d;. _ grams, all made especially plain for the busy man or woman concerned with their own daily problems, that Chiropractic is indeed a scientific method for the prevention and adjustment of disease. There have been those who somehow could not come to think of Chiropractic as a sound, ethical, effective method of handling disease. Because of subtle and, in some instances, insidious forces that held our profession up to the pubEc in the wrong light, and encouraged doubt in our capacity and education, we have sought to parade these achievements in tlus book. This work is gratefully dedicated to those who have early understood the merit in the science of Chiropractic and who have made our achievements possible while they themselves were regaining or maintaining abundant health.
Truth
Truth is harmony with right and con form ity to Nature which is God's work. Truth is the quality of being true, real, or in fact, and is based upon fact and not opinion. It is the foundation of knowledge and the open gate of reason. To love truth is to seek i t; to have knowledge of it is to pra ise it; to believe it is to live it. It is the greatest and most endu ring of forces. Jt is eternal. The three essentials of truth are: seek, know and use.There can be no sincere search for truth except we fi rst liye what we already know. Truth often lies deeper than error hence why"error is frequentl y found first. Errors are signs wh ich point the way toward truth. Truth is the way. Truth is not all contained in one person or mind. We seek truth because we have not found it a ll. Truth is of the Cosmic and to harmonize w ith the Cosmic is to lind truth. Th is is the great end and purpose of life.

DANIBL DAVID PALMER

and reared in the wilderness of Ontario, un ada, Dr. Daniel David Palmer inherited and de- veloped all of the characteristics of a pioneer. His primary schooling, gained in the back woods, made him an ardent student of the laws of Nature. Raised on a f arm :tnd trained in the hardsh i ps of the early days, he became one of the " "honor graduates in the School of Experience: His natural bent and his pleas- u re was to help out" when friends a nd neighbors were sick. The thrill of helping p<-oplc to get well
ORN
gave him an absorbing interest in the problems of sickness. For 25 years be diligently studied the human body and observed the causes of sickness and reasons for health. His greatest satisfaction in life was to get sick people well. His practical mind led him to think and work constructivel y on th e mechanical problems of the body. Thousa nds of pcorte became his friends :md grateful followers. He taught them simple lessons in how to keep well. He urged them not to be
mystified by sickness. vour body was planned for health and it will give you health if you take proper rnre of it ; was his constant admonition. In the ye:Lr 189,, at the age of ,0, he decided to te:tch others what he was doing in order that his good works might be extended to all of humanity. He be- lieved sincNcly and he had been able to prove that the mechanical causes of disease were more im port:lllt than any ot her. I n his tcad1ings, he dccl:trcd the fol lowing fundamental principles:
(1) The true cause of disease will not be found outside the body-il is ui1bi11tbe boll) ' (2) The nerve tissues control and operate the forces of life and heahh- rbq11ulll bk ept fr e from
imerference.
(3) The spinal column and other articulations of the bony f r:unework become dis phtced through the sborks. .lfrllins """ bt bits of life; these :1rc the re:tl causes of nerve interference-they arc the primt ry causes of
disease.
(-1) We must t djust the articu lations of the body to proper alignment, to make the force of
l ife-nerve energy- Bow freely and without in terference.
( 5) When we corrut the Ctlllle of disease, the natural healing power-nerve energy- will re store
health and comfort. Coincident with the declaration of these dmtrincs, Daniel Da,id Palmer began to teach his followers how to adjust the articulations of the spina l column :md other joints of the human body. H e called his wok ..CHIROPRACriC,.. which means ..h a nd prnc ticc.. M heal ing by hand. Daniel David Palmer l ec t ured and taught his method of adjusting the articulations of the spina l column and other joims of t11c body from 1895 to 1913. He traveled from co:sl to coast in the United States and Canada to establish this new scllool of thought and understanding on the problems of sick- ness. The present day profession of Chiropractic is the direct outcome of his efforts. Today, his principles have attained a legal status in -12 states and tbe Dis trict of Columbia of our country as well as a number of the provinces of Canada. His principles of correct ing displacements of the articulations of the spinal column have
since been practiced in almost every country of the world. The greatest credit which can be gi, en to the founder of Chiropractic is that he brought the attention of the world to the long neglected spinlll col1111111. When he said, ..You rnn not bave health without cor rect relationship of the bones of the spine :tnd other articulations of the human framework,.. he declared a health principle whidh will stand all attacks a nd the prejudices of contrary opinion unti l the end of time. Dan iel David P:1lmcr died in his 68th year (19H) from fatal injuries following an automobile accident, but he left behind him a record of ad1ievement in the field of healing whid1 crea es for him a place among the ..immortals.. in human history. Even his oppo nents have become more ..spine conscious.. through his teacl1ings. During his eighteen years of teaching, be gained nothing for himself but the satisf:tctioo of helping others to understand his philosophy of health and how to administer his methods of adjusting the booes of the body. The Chiropractic profession and m.iUions of beneficiaries commcmorntc his bi rthday, March 7th, and pay tribute to him ns one of mankind's great benefactors.

F
OR more than a decade this eminent scholar has been conducting extensive researches into ancient healing archives. From these studies has gleaned valu-
principles
able data, indicating clearly that the of Chiropractic were known and practiced almost from the earliest days of recorded history. Dr. Ligeros has twice visited America, purposely to report on his research accom plishments at convention sessions of the National Chiropractic Association. His remarks were a source of great inspiration to his colleagues, who were likewise fasci nated by his authentic illustrations and bas-reliefs,dating back to the 5th Century,B.C. Dr. Ligeros has written a number of volumes in his native Greek language. Just recently he has written a large volume which has been published in English by G. P. Putnam's Sons, New York and London, Publishers. The title is, ''How Ancient Heal ing Governs Modern Therapeutics." Here he outlines very engagingly some discoveries that are of interest alike to Iaymen and the profession.
F
t.ime immemorial man has concentrated his mental and physical efforts and all his skill to- wards the improvement of his so- cial and biological conditions, but more especially that which concerns his heal th. One of the most famous ancient Greek physicians, Herophilous, who Aourished in Alexandria dur- iJlg the Third Century B. C. has said: ..Science is incapable and the art has nothing to show; strength is powerless in effort, and wealth is useless and perhaps debasing, while eloquence is futile if health be wanting. Thus Herophilous sums up the importance of good health. The goal of mankind has been to conquer disease. Man's efforts have been d irected towards finding the elixir of l ife. To this end, and in the course of years man at various occasions used many methods and practiced different systems in an effort to curb d isease and win euthanasia. Cicero and other earl ier authori- ties point out the fact thilt prim itive and early civil ized man, believing that heal ing was the attribute of the
ROM
gods, could not conceive the idea that man could ever i nvent tbc healing arts and sciences. There- fore, all the peoples of early civili- zation believed in the divine origin of healing and general therapeu- tics. It was left for the Grecian people, who gave to the world a splendid civilization, to create also medicine and to establish the foun- dations of our modern sciences. Among the earliest healing forms which mankind ever used i n corn- bating disease was undoubtedly hand curing. Pwfessor E. T. Withington of Balliod College, England, in his introduction to Hippocrates works, quotes Cclsus, declaring that "the part of medicine which cures by hand has a more direct effect than any other," adding that "this is the oldest part of healing." Dr. Withington in supplementing the aforemen- tioned statement of Cel sus remarks that indeed this truth must have been recognized from the dawn of reason. For in such common emergencies as those of pain, displacement and fract ures of bones, something has to be done primarily with the band anJ any one who can do it quickly, effectively and without causing an extreme pain to the patient, is, as Homer sa id "worthy of being a healer." Manipulation , gymnastics, physica l exercises and culture, calesthenks and kindred natural methods were known and practiced by all ancient peoples. The Greek gym nast Herodicus of Selebria was the first to introduce gymnastics in healing, and from his time this mode of natural curing has been incorporated in general therapeutics. He was, according to Plato and Galen, suffering from phth isis, that is, Tuberculosis, and by using such natural means as gymnastic exer cises and manipu lation, he succeeded in curing him- self and afterwards aided others, as Plato mentions in his works. Herodicus served as an instructor to great Hippo- crates of Cos. Hippocrates, universally known as the father of Medicine, came from a long l ine of priest- physicians claiming that they were the d irect descend- ants of Asculapius, the inventor of the healing arts. He succeeded by observation, research aod investiga tion in rescuing medicine from the hands of SacerdO talism from magic, and cosmopolitan speculation. Thus, he placed the foundations of scientific healing and put the physician upon a bigber plane of respect and scienti fic standing. Hippocrates, being himself of a real scientific mind, gathered and systematized what was, up to his ti me, accumu lated i n therapeutic knowledge, explained various natural phenomena, appearing to the unscientific mind as supernatural, and thus freed the physician from specu lative philos- ophy. He pointed out to the practitioner that the safest, surest path to scientific accomplishment and research, was the methodical observation of natu re, and the systematic appl ication of all natural means. Hippocrates was concerned in the wel fare-of the sick rather than in the interests of the physician; there fore, he admonished the practitioner to pay great attention to the spinal column and learn its physical construction, saying ..It is most necessary to know the nature of the spine, what its natu ral purposes are, for such a knowledge wi ll be rC<Juisite to many diseases." Hippocrates believed that without the proper knowledge of the spina l construction and conditions, neither diagnosis nor proper treatment of disea.se could be hoped for. He was of the opinion that the physician may become confused :md be led astray if he does not recogn.ize the tr ue existing conditions within the human body. As to the ca use of disease, he was sure that this might be due either to the ab- normalities of the spinal column, or to the displace ments of its various segments. He held that the physician must always search to find the ct1mes of disease; and that these causes were primarily in the spine which predisposes, if not normal, the natu ral diathesis of the human organism.
H i ppocrates repeatedly warned the physician not to neglect the spinal column, for when the vertebrae are out of place many serious complications may follow. If the physician wants to know in what way and in what place the cause of d isease lies, he must study well the anatomy of the spine and its relations to the nervous system which controls all the body functions. The nerves are always likely to be compressed somewhere along the spine, and, therefore, unable to perform the proper function. Th is compression, Hippocrates de- notes, though it might be sl ight, yet may be the real cause of disease, or it may, in itself, produce many abnorma l complications. Similarly, Galen declares, ..Whenever the spinal nerves are in any way affected give the treatment to the spineand never to the affected part." A slight subluxation, and even the sl ightest

deviation of the spinal vertebrae, may cause u ntold misch ief to the hu man organism, and if not properly and promptly corrected, says Hippocrates, it may seri- ousl y affect the organism, and it will be more difficult, at l:ltcr stages, to remedy the condition. In the history of healing we note that the principles of Chiropractic were widely appl ied in therapeutics. A II the ancient peoples, as we said before, had some knowledge of it; but the G reeks were the ones who extensively and scienti fically promulgated and applied the art, science and phi losophy of Ch iropractic in t he same effective manner as we do today. The medical profession ought to study more care- fully the history of Genera l Medicine and not be prone to discard or overlook anything which it has not acqu ired in therapeutics; for therapeutics are not exclusively composed of med icaments and d rugs, but of all other th ings avai lable. Chiropractic offers a world of valuable assistance to the practitioner and more read ily serves Nature in its co-operative proc- ess'>S and procedures. Henceforth, the physician of every heal ing bra nch will do much good in the adv:tncement of therapeutics if he neglects noth ing which assists Nature in her particu lar wor k, opening h is eyes and h is mind to every system or method. For he must know that in every principle there is a hidden or revealed tr uth whkh must be properly used. The world has profited much so far in following the ancient wise teachings of Hellas and her noble sons and still science in general benefits by the experiences of the past generations. The medica l profession there- fore has much to gain if it will once more open the ancient writings of Hippocrates and Galen and thrive in them. By carefu l study of their wise admonitions and pledges the practitioner may find, as Dr. Brock of Edinbu rgh has said, "'that tangible something which wi ll aid him in his work, but which the X-ray and microscope are unable to reveal. l n the history of healing we note that 01iropractic was wisely taught and widely applied in therapeutics. The Hindus, Chinese, Egyptians, Hebrews, Persians, Scythians and Babylon.iallS, al l had some kind of a knowledge of this art, though it may have been cr ude and unscientific. Yet the Greeks (the Romans and A rabians) have well recognized its basic and funda- mental principles and have left them well described in their valuable and sage writings. Though all the heal ing arts h:tve been at times lost, Chiropractic re mained unmolested throughout the Dark Ages in the trad itional heritage left to the world by the Greeks. It is thus that truths and princi pies which have been neglected during certain periods, are revived again at another epoch or time. The world "s history is noth- ing but repetition. Thus Chiropractic, too, is a scientific repetition and a tr ue scientific development of the bygone ages. To Hippocrates, and t he Hippocratian school, the art and science of Ch iropractic may be truly traced as a scientific accomplishment. To this great healing master, t he scientific world today, as in times of old, bows io acknowledgment of h is immense contribution to general healing and natur:tl therapeutics. Indeed Hippocrates was a lover of Natu re, in whose powers he had unboLtnded faith and trust; a real h umanitarian and lofty idealist. lo universa l medicine Hippocrates is an outstanding fig- ure, recogn ized everywhere as a true leader. Hence- forth , the gre:tt Ch iropractic profession acknowledges him as the precursor of its widely accepted principles and practices. Next to Hippocrates comes Galen, Soran us, Apollonuis the Citiensis and many others whom we are discussing more fully in our books, ""Rach iotherapy" and '"How Ancient Healing Gov. erns 1\[odern Therapeutics." All these men contrib- uted Largely towards placing med icine where it now stands and they are, throughout the ages, considered to be the pillars and the perpetuators nf scientific heal ing. These same celebrateJ men are a lso the expon- ents and promulgators of Rachiotherapy which came to be known as the
Science, Art anJ Philosophy of Chiropractic. Though considered a new development, Chiropractic has commanded the respect of all peoples where its principles have been applied correctly. I t is indeed gratifying to know that these principles are now corroborated scientifically by ancient as well as modern researches. The world, through our recent researches learns for the first time that Chiropractic, to a ll practical purposes, ex isted iJl times of old and its art and science were scientificall y promulgated and appl ied ever since Hippocrates, the Great. Thus is the History of Chiro practic proved to be gloriously old, being received and further carried on in modern times by D. D. Palmer of Davenport, who in his works f rankly :tdmitted that Chiropractic is not his discovery, but :1 revival of the Greek Ancienr Art. To D. D. Palmer and his noble successors, as well as" the affl icted, the therapeutic world today and that of the future, bows in gratitude eu logizing their noble memory.

N ALL the >Ctivities of life, in everything we do, health is an ever present considcrotion. Yet few of us give :u>y thought to the intricate functions of ou r bodily machinery, nor do we rea lize the importance of the oenous system as a controlling factor. \ hen the nene mechanism becomes irritated or deranged, function is impaired and pain or some disorder ensues. \YI e bring to your attention one causative factor and a logical method of treatment.
Your spine is not only a backbone supporting the body, but is also the center of nerve radi:u ion. By this we mean that i t contains the spina l cord- the m:dn nerve cnble-a nd from this cord the nerves branch out between the vertebrae to supply the various organs and tissues of the body. Inasmuch :15 these nerves have to pass out between the joims of the spine, it is obvious that a JOint displacement or a contractured spinal muscle created by a fall or strain will constrict these openings and subject the nerve root to pressure and irritation. I f sensory nerves arc ailccted, the result is pain. If the motor nerves are involved, the condition simulates a "short circuit" on an electrical wire, while the eilect io to der.tnge the nerve current> "hich arc transmitted by this type of nerve. Such a condition can l ead to functional distu rbance of gl:u1CIS or organs, to impa irment of the ci rculation, ner ve disorders, of paralysis, depending on the nerve fibres invohed and the degree of severity. As the center of nerve radiation, the mechanical structure of your spine is of vital importance to your heal th. These spinal deviations, when not corrected, constitute areas of structural weak ness which are the most susceptible to stress and strain of daily routine. Occupational posture, spinal tenseness, muscular fa. tigue, all of these arc factors which bring on excessive mU5CIIIar teosion- inunsifred al 1he we.,kesl spinal firM. The nerve root is tbeo irritated :nd pain
results. Here is one prevalent muse of chronic or recurring hcadad>es, backaches, neuritic pains, :1nd certain nerve disorders. Correcting the Cause ln correcting the spinal condition. we strike at the fundamental cause. This is effectively accomplished through O>iropractic Spinal Adjusting. This adjustic procedure relaxes tensioned muscle fibres, adjusts the segment (if displ aced) to its correct alignment, and norma l izes the spinal nerve openings. \XIhen this cor rcction is complete, we have rel ieved nerve irritation and pain, or have re-established normal nerve activity and circulation in the ailected organ or part. To understand the eilectiveness of corrective spinal adjusting in conditi011s not directly due to falls or strains, it is necessary to bear in mind that the spine consists of various nerve centers.
Plea.e Mcmoritc the Next Pc4ragrtPh Each nerve center controls, rhrough its con necting nenes,:1 definite section of the body :md the organs, glands, and tissues therein. Thus we have the stomach center, liver center, k idney ceo ter, a nerve center in the lower spine cont roll ing the abdominal region :UJd lower l imbs, wh ile from the cervica l (neck) spinal area the nerve supply governs the throat, thyroid gland, am1s, .tnd indirectly the eyes. ears, nose, etc. Just as the blood circulation can be accelerated through massage, so it is th:1t the nerve currents C.lll be nor malized through corrective adjusting of the spinal nerve centers. It is through th is procedure that the Chiropr:ctor is enabled to stimu l ate nor mal function in org:o ns and tissues remote from thspine Jnd "'' rc.-Jth various disorders.
An Ancienr Art .. Modernited Spinal adjusting was first used by the Egyptians and the Greek physicians many years before Quist. It is also known that many of the I ndian tribes used this art of drugless healing quite successfully, :although in a very crude form, and that the Bohemians have prac ticed it for many generations. Chiropractic, as k nown and prncliced today, was founded by Dr. D. D. Palmer in 1 895. He systematized a nd developed th is form of spina l ad justing and prep:tred himself to teach it. Dr. Pa l mer established the fact that constriction of the spina l nerve openingsthrougb joint deviations or tensioned ligaments- affects the spinal nerve root and is in many cases the fundamental cause of pain and various ailments. He based his reasoning on results obtained in his clinical practice. Beneficial Results \Videspread Due to its beneficial results, the science has attained widespread recognition, ranking as the largest profes- sion of drugless healing, with numerous colleges, clinics, and san itariums. The professional tr:tining now covers n period of three to fou r years, with high sdool education or better r<'<(uired to enter, while forty-two states have establ ished Chiropractic exam- in ing boards tO <(U31ify its grad uateS and rcsulate itS practice. This assures the public of well-trained prac titioners and maintains high professional standards. The efficacy of Chiropractic is well evidenced by the fact that many insurance companies have given it recognition as a meritorious science of healing. We would emphasize here that Chiropractic is not a cure-al l. However, from statistics compi led by the Chiropractic Researd1 Bureau, it is of particular in- terest to note that spinal :td justing obtains resu lts i n many conditions whee tmdition al met hods prove in effective. This is not to decry the merit of other methods, but to point out that in many conditions the need is not for drugs or surgery, but for treatment of an adjustic and manipulative nature. Let Us Rcruon lr Through Back of every ailment there is a fundamental cause. In the correction of this cause, it is essential to utilize the method of treatment that will be most effective. It is where the cause is structural, affecting the nerve mechanism, or where the cond ition can be rectified through stimulation of the spinal nerve centers that we advocate Chiropractic, because it is logical to con- dude that the essential need is for corrective adjusting and man ip u l at io n. The spinal factor warrants thoughtful consicler:ttion, especially when by clear reasoning we decide that other methods will prove ineffective.

x.. RAY
and CHIROPRACTIC
The X-ray was tliscoverc>J late in the yc.r 189) by Wil- helm Konrad von Roentgen, a German professor of physics a nd mat hcma ti<.'S. Singularly enough, this was the very year in which Or. D. 0. P1lmer, i n the United States, was pcr- f<-cting his philosoph y of the distri bution of viml energ)' th.rough t he nervous system. l11is philosophy, know n a.'i Chi- ropractic. was gi,en to
the world at almost precisely the same time as Roentgens weird my. Together, through four dc- cad<:s these two discov<:ri<-s ba vc continued to aiJc,ia tc hu man misery, prolong h uman life and add imm<:asurabl y to buman happiness and wellbcing.
Or. Roentgen was not at t his ti me seeking an aid in diag nosing disease, for he was neit her a medical doctor nor a pr:tcticing physician. The extent of his d iscovery was not y<'t understood and the subsequent use to w hich i t was put was a,s surprising to him as it was to the public.
1l1e frequently repeated statement that the X-roy w:os dis- coveced accidentally is not quite accurate. In his laboratory Roen tgen "'"-' di ligently s""king an ""invisible light: He hardly knew himsel f exactly what he hoped to lind. One November afternoon, seeking to exclude every par tide of light in t he laboratory, he covered with black paper a h 1d been con- nected. No visible light w: .< present. but t he coated paper glowed with a ghost!)' phosphorescence when elcct ricity passed between ck-ctrodes inside t he tube.
C[()Ok(;S. tube, to which a n induction coil
Roentgen picked up the paper and turned its coated sur- face awilf from the tube. It continued to glow. He held his ha nd before it - a nd beheld something that no humao '1'C h3d ever visioned- the shadow of the bon<"S of his hand. Roentgen fou nd that his ray would penetrate cardboard, wood , cloth, even a thick book. And most amazi ng of all. it would penetrate flesh, but the bones were opaque. There is a legend that on the day of discovery Madam Roentgen had J>repa<'-d an cspcci:olly ent icing dinner. When t he Doctor ate hurriedly, f:oilcd to pmise t he repast, she be- came highly indignant. To appease his frau, Roentgen 10ok her to the darkened room, photographed her h:1nd. revealing bones and a ring- bu t no flesh ! 11,c amazed:u'ld excited lady t hen forgave her pr<-occupied spouse. a nd shared his enthusiasm and wonder. fk-causc he did not f . ll y understand his discovery, Dr. Roc-nt,Sl ' n called it t he X-ray - "X" indicating an unknown factor. L1ter, the Physica l Medical Society of Wurzburg ''oted unani mously that the new ray should be named (or its discovl ' rer, and Roentgen ray is today t he correct scientific appeJJation. However_. Or. Roen tgen's cerm gained popular favor, and x -ray" is now an al most universal designation. Roentgen's discovC'r)' r(m:tins basic, but certain refinements have been added. and of cou rs.t the tcc:hni<lue of using th<? X-ray has been vastl)' im proved over a period of forty years. ln early stages. the ray was employed chiefly in diagnosing f ractu res nnd disca. cs of the bone.That is still a n im portant use, to be sure. Bul we have latl'i)' come to realize the possi - bilities which the X-ra)' offccs in t he study of diseases of the organs. For uncounted cen tu ries the pr cti tion t r. in dealing with such conditions. had virtually no aid SlvC intuition . But today the modern Chiropractor, aided by X-ray, can li ter:olly look into t he patient and Jet for himself the: pr<-cise condition! This service is of such inc:stimabk v:d ut. th.u il s-taggers the imngi nation.
Now, (or the 6rst time i_n r<-cordcd history, diagnosis be com<:s somethi ng more than n good g\ICSS, a sh rewd spl "'Ctda- tion. Nothing c:1n t:t kc the place of t his abil ity to look 1101 onl y nl, but direct1)1 into tbc patient.
Millions of Uves have lx:en saved since 1 895 by mea ns of the diagnostic use of X-rays. And miJiions moce might have be<:n spared for added years of health, if they had but under- stood the important preventive service rcndcr< d by the X ray. It is not too much to S.)' that the X-my is indispcnsablc in any compkt<- c:x mi nation to determine ph ysic-al condition. bny diseasesi,11 their early stages, can be detected on/)' by the usc of X-rays.
111c modern t re:ttm<nt of tuberculosis affords a graphic cx,un ple of the service which X-ray is cenderi ng. The magic eye of the X-ray can spot the first faint beginnings of this dreaded disease-long before any defin ite symptoms are manifest. As someone has so aptly pointed out, "The X-ray knows more abou t any man, woman or ch il d's tuberculosis t ha n the su btlest fccli ngs of their bodies
11)iS explains the modern widespread use of X rays upon persons who ar< , according to ncceptcd st ndard.s "not really sick:' In this cn lightc:n<.-d ngc we sc:<.'k to de-tect clise-:tsc in its <arlitst st : gcs-bcforc ill health has occurtecl. :\ nd while t he disease may sti ll lx: controlle.i. No longer is i t the practice to wait un til some disttcs.sing symptom, such as pain or fcvcr. issues a warning- w hich perhaps may come too la1<:. Thus we a rc moving now in the direction of an annual h<-alt h audit, for you ng and old - an audit i n which the X-ray pbys an outstanding part in detecting incipiellt disease. Anot her vit:Jil)' important fact, which is likdy to be over looked by medical invc-stiglltors, is t hat
J
ail ments have a trtutmtllir origin. That is to say, it is a direcr or i ndirt-ct ccsult of some injury to the body. The fall, sprai n, st rain or shock rnay d:'ltC back several yc-: s, and thus l:x: cntirc l y forgouer1 by t he patient. But it cannot be hidden f rom the revealing eye of rhc X-ray. A visual exami- nation may show notbins, abnormal ; even a digital examinat ion of the spi ne (that is, an examination by hand movc mcnts) may not be conclusive. Bu t an X r:'y pictu r<." will always show the I!Xtlrt condition. and will point, mutel y but eloquen tl y
to the remedial me"surcs th:t must lx: taken. It is immetliatel y evident, of cou rse, that if the X-ray is of importance to lhe medica( practi tioner, its value is multiplied for the Chiropractor. since he st rikes d ir{'Ctl)r at tht rata of th" malady - a misa l ignment somcwhc r<' along the spine. Jn romplirntcd conditiOI'lS, :tn X r:ly of the spil'lC may rcve:d much of importa nce to the Chiropracror, t h u:i bri nging abour bet-ter and quicker results (or the patient.

So. w hen ) 'Ou r Chiropractor rc'.Commcnds :m X-n)', you should welcome th< sugg<:stion. You n ten ..ot have: the slightest fear or itpprchcnsion.

A GREAT CONTROVERSY
'Between NATURAL HEALING METHODS and DRUGS, SERUMS, ETC.
By ESTELLE H. RlES
Those of us who have good hea l th seldom stop to think how blessed we really arc. Sometimes we :tre remjnded by a tremendous t riAc such as a cinder in the eye. But most people are less fortunate. The amount of illness and suffering in the world is stag- gering and in many partietliars is growing worse instead of better. Civil ization itself causes a long list of ravaging diseases. Man, designed for a nat- ura l life, c:u1 hard ly adapt himself to tbe speeded up, pre-digested, simplifi ed yet complex way things are done today. To hel p him do so, however, a great and powerful health industry has grown up. \Yie have among us in this country a pprox imately l<) l,OOO legally qualified physicians and surgeons, 24,000 at tendants, 294,000 nurses, 150,000 "practical nurses," 70,000 dentists, L4,000 dental assistants, 25,000 den ta l techn icians, 47,000 midw ives, 5,000 d1iropodists, 20,000 optometrists, 553,000 hospital superinten dents and otber hospital personnel , 11,500 health department workers, 125,000 registered pharmacists, 77,000 assistant and apprentice pharmacists, 2,500 med ical-social workers, and severa l thousand miscellaneous others. Most of these health workers are the very salt of the earth. Many of them give f ully half of their time in service without payment in return. Against this long honored number we find 36,000 men <Lnd women who are opposed to medi cine and surger y as a basic healing method, and who offer tbe world health on :t principle that docs not require drugs or su rgery. Most of these drugless hea lers are Chiropractors. \Yihat is it that has caused th is small group of some 30,000 capable persons to give to these others whose numbers easily dominate t he field of health , such a case of jitters that the American Med ica l As- sociation has stopped at noth ing to rid ou r country of Chi ropractors> And why is it that neither hatred , ridicu le, nor any ha rdsh ip which the lvledical Trust can use to persecute Chi ropractors, has swerved the faith and confidence of these new hea l t h crusaders from their sel f-appointed mission? Why do they not take the easier way of healing in the man11cr of these doctors and spare themselves all the difficulties that result from the fact of thei r minority? The answer is that Ch i ropractors have demon- strated a competence, su re11ess, thoroughness, speed , and permanence in the successfu l handling .,{ even "incurabl e" diseases beyond anything that ordinary medicine and su rgery have been able to accomplish - a striking assertion but one we shall confi rm as we go on. Meanwhile, the result is that the 30,000 drugless physicians in the United States arc cutting deeply into reven ue that wou ld otherwise go to the medical profession. The Committee on the Costs of Medical Care, an officially recognized body, esti- mated the total annual income of non-medical prac- titioners :t few years ago at more than $100,000,000. This success has made such inroads upon territory heretofore monopolized by physicians, surgeons, :tnd their al lies the d rug interests, that they cannot with- st:tnd the competition on :t basis of comparative merit. They have had to resott to persecution to defend their position.
01iropractic patients may be mentioned: R udy Val- Ice, \XI. C. Fields. Mari,>n Nixon , Irene Rich , Cull en Landis, Charles Buck Jones, Patsy Ru th Miller,
Jobyna Ralston, Ken Strong, Tony Canzoneri, Ted Lewis, Ma rian Martin, George Givot, Belle Baker, Eddy Leonard, Abc Lyman, Jack Dempsey and m'tny others. A ll of these individ ua ls are in position to know of and buy the most up to-datc and effective hea lth care. Why d id they choose Chiropractic? Let us look at the record! Figures based on the inRuenza epidemic in 1918 show that med ical doctors had one death out of every sixteen cases treated by them, while 01iro praetors lost only one case out of 886 cases. That m ust be due to something besides luck! Comparisons made in May, 1936, reveal that in 658 cases of pneu monia, medical doctors had 200 deaths or 30.4%, whi le 364 01iropractic cases saved 332, a loss of only 8.8%. A few years ago a report was compiled covering authentic statistics in the Chiropractic treat ment of 99,976 cases dealing with 1 10 spoofic dis eases. A swnmary of these statistics was as follows: 84,571, or 84.59% of the cases completely recovered or were greatly improved. In 14,554 or 14.56% of the cases tile condition remained unchanged or slightly improved. Only 851, or 85/100 of L lo died . The death rate was e<JUivalent to 8.5 per thousand compared with a general death rate of 12.3 per thou sand throughout the United States for the year. This remarkable showing of nearly 25% fewer fata lities should prove of great interest to those who place tl1emsclvcs in charge of Chiropractors. Ch iropractic ranks about 2times better than medicine in insan.ity cases. Resu lts obtained on tile mentally dera nged ha ,e been compared in the James town State Insane Asylum, North Dakota, which is under medical supervision, :md the Forest Park Chi ropractic Sanitarium of Davenport, Iowa. The medi cal asylum had only 27.8% cures or satisfactory dis charges wh ile the Ch i ropr:tctic SanitMium had 65'J0 And this 65% was obtained on cases mostly classed as incurable in insane asyl ums under med ica l care and wbid1 were turned over to Ch iropractic years after thei r constitution was run down by deteriora- tion or prolonged mental disabil ity. 1t is resu lts such as these that have given mcd ic: li doctors so much anxiety. In fact the Chicago Medi c: li Society has figures to show tl1at 85% of Chicagos citizens have found drugless hea ling so superior to med icine that that proportion of the people use drug .l ess healers, of which Chiropractors are by far the l argest group, as their family physicians. No wonder the doctors are worried. The astonishing part of the success of 01iropractic is that it has bui lt this sue cess on diseases that have proved incurable under other forms of care. Chiropractic is a young science. People ref rain from trying anything new. They do not go to the Chiropractor until they have tried everyth ing else and failed . In spite of the handicap of work ing with patients who have been subjected to long de pto eirs ion ra in tig o,na ,n dd ruf;rt'quently futile operations, 01iropractic is dai l y returning to health individuals who were su pposed ly doomed to a life of suffering. Yet even under these ci rcum stances, Chiropractic h as forged ahead to become the second l argest healing profession. What cou l d it not do if people came to it a t the first indication of ill - ness instead of as a l ast resort! Since it is only forty-th ree yea rs since Ch iropractic, as such, became known, all mankind had been condi tioned from earliest times to see a doctor in times of illness. The doctor has stood, and therefore still stands i11 the position of supreme authority. His pro fession has done everyth ing to maintain that prestige. Especially has it done everything to ridicu le and de stroy the rising young science of Chiropractic which threatens the existence of medicine as a profitable enterprise. HW11an nature helps this. People do things by b<tbit. They vote the same ticket as grand pa voted. They are members of the same dmrch as their parents. They are slow to embrace new th ings, new ideas, especially in view of U1e fact that nothing but prejudice is doled out tn them against the new idea from all sides. That this is self-minded preju dice or based on abysmal ignorance does not OCCtJr to the questioning patient. The two chief sd1 ools of heal ing are the drug and the drugless. The med ica l profession, using dr ugs, is the dominant school. Its methods are taught in state-owned un iversities supported by taxpayers. It controls the public health service. It is the boon comp<tnion of one of the largest and most profitable inJustries in Americ-the drug business. Many newspapers publ ish a dai ly health col umn written by a medical doctor. Great quan tities of skillf u l propaganda make the public const<Ultly aware of he:tlth in relation to medicine and the doctors of med icine. Chiropractic, oo the other hand, is not taught in state-owned universities but in U1ose su p ported by its own money. lt gets l ittle attention from the press beca use it car ries with it no reason for prolitable drug advertising, and no commercial in- terests gain by exploiting it.On the contrary the drug concerns do what they ca n to stifle it. Newspapers and magazines while no longer opposing Chiroprac tic for the good they know it to do, a re nevertheless will ing to keep silent about it as much as possible. The presen t chapter is far too short to go thor oughly into this subject or to suggest remed ies.

What I S Chiropractic?
By delinition. this is the science of IOClting :md removmg nerve imerference and its effects in the body. It includes the use of physical , rnech:onical , hygienic,:md sanitary measures, without the usc of drugs or needless operative surgery. Chiropractic :olso concerns itself with d ietary deficiencies, though i t con- siders these as secondary in correcting disease. Spe- cia l d iets are of little value in a digestive system which is deficient because abnorma l nerve function- ing makes it unable to assimilate food properly. Ch iropr:octic is easy to understand. Its basic truth is invariable. It works on the fundamental principle that nerve energy is received or generated by the brain, and from the brain it travels out mer the nerve trunks to reach every cell in the whole body organism. As long as there is no nerve hindr.ance, every cell operates normally if properly fed. On the other hand, disturbing this power from its normal channel into the surrounding tissues produces dis- pl acement, injury, and destl'\u:tion of the cells. Dr. K. C. Robinson, Chiropractor, gives the graphic ex:omplc of pu tting a tight rubber band nround t he finger. Jt turns bl ack, loses its sensat ion and begins to die. That is what occurs in cases where nerves a rc shut off. The same thing can happen to '"'Yother part of the body, internal as well os externol. if the It is therefore with good reason that 01iropractic places such great emphasis upon the spinal column.
111 medicine.
The importance of the spinal column cannot be over-estimated. I t supports the head, holds the body erect, give-s att:odunent to the ribs, pelvis, muscles, ligaments and so on, :and affords COilne(tion wid1 the internal o rg:o ns. cguu l ly significant, it also con- t<ins the vitu l spinal corc.l within the spinal canal and allows for the tr:msmission of the spinal nerves th rough small outlets to all p:o rts of the body. The spinal column can no longer be regarded as merely the back bone. Today it is understood to be the con- trol mechanism of the forces of l ife. I t is the balanc- mg mechanism of posture. Its SCpJrate bones must be in proper alignment or II other parts of the body labor under the handicap of imperfect distribution of nerve energy. Thus the spinal column is not just one thing. It is a major control for the whole body struc- ture and function. Mispl:tcemcnt or derangement of the spinal column not only throws the entire skeleta l system out of kilter, with its resulting stresses < nd swoins on all the orguns, but it interferes with the norma l function of the nervous system. Th is twofold impairmem to the body sa ps the very foundation of hea lth. Except for sl ight >upcdicial ills, it does not matter much what is done to heal cJisturbed organs s hiu n: ncne stimulus stte in tire. locally if the basic source of the troubl e is ignored su re, overlapping, short-circuiting, mis-dircaion. stretching. shrinking, are some of the conditions th:ot disturb correct body adjustment and cause pain and disease. Pres-
Prick yourself with the point of a pin :my pl:oce on the bcxly and you will feel pain. You feel it on ly through the nerves. They are everywhere through- out your system. All these nerves emerge from the backbone whkh controls specific organs from spc ci lic regions. That is wh y Chiropmctic is so m uch more th:on :m aid to back injuries as so mnny people solel y believe. M:a ny people only know th:ot 01iro- practic is good for the back. Having suffered for months or years from back injuries, strains, sprains. lumbago, rheumatism, neuritis, lameness. or just plain old-fashioned backache, and undergone, as Dr. ). Lewis Fenner, Chiropraaor, remarks, "strappmg, bakmg. massaging, linimenting, pill-ing and dopmg of all sorts without relief. when d1ey find correction -permanent benefit-com adjustment of the bony structure, they have the best of reasons for thinkong it is good for the back.'' But that is not all. I t is an :oid to nil the i l ls that the nerves affect. While Chiropractic is :o specific branch of the natural hca l in 0 :orts, it is not a limited practice as is dentistry, for insta nce. More than 1 7,000 nerve threads have been measured and classified in the marrow of the human spine by the Swed ish professor Goestu Huejtgquist, celebr:lted hi>tologist uf the C1rolinian Institute nf Stockholm which annually awards the Nobel Prize by ignoring the spine. 01iropractic, by correcting the mechanical struaure of the spine, can normalize nerve function and remove stresses and strains from bodily org-.ons. There are two hundre<l bones in the body. They do not havt' to be actually broken to be in disorder. :Lny more than a sprained muscle or any organ has to be totally ruined before you know something is the matter with it. The spin:al mlumn when in proper ba lance is in tended to protect the functional integ- rity of thirty-one m;ojor p:oirs of vit:ol nerves which branch off throughout the body. Imbalance can be produced by the most trivi:ol incident. A violent sneeze has been known w give one a ..catch" in the neck or elsewhere th:ot moy hove the mo>t unexpected results. Ai the rime no ottenuon or signi6cance is gi,en the sneeze, and the patoent may apparently have to be treated for an altogether unaccountable case of paralysis, blindness, appendicitis, or whatever it may be. t\ rese:arch m:odc on 10,000 people re- vealecJ that 6 ';of adults have une(IU:II height of shou lders; 6o j; have fuulty head or neck carriage; 77'/o have rotational bal:mce f a ults; 40{; have un- C<luall y developed bone structure in the legs; 3 '/c h:ave faulty f ront-to-back ba l ance. Only 10')'., had reasonably normal ba l ance of the spine <Lnd of body symmetry. These defects :o re not a lw< ys visible to the naked eye but they inevotabl y produce health de- ficiencies. I njury to the back, or chronic disorde,s of the back do not a l ways result in pain or distress locally in the in jured or disordered part of the back i tself. \Xfhen the bony frame is ou t of b:l ance it may press upon the heart, lungs, liver, stomach or other organs, pro- ducing injury to the tissues :md nerves that provide energy and nutrition to these parts. I t must be ap parent that no loca l treatment of these can mkc them function normally until that pressure is cor- rected. Chiropractic clinical e'idence and X-r:y ex,.nin a tions revenl that even sl ight nerve inte.-ferences are capable of a rousing the most a l arming symptoms. It has also been found th:t nerve disturbances often imitate the pain produced by organic disorders such as a ppendicitis. Thous:mds of cases of a iJegcd acute appendicitis have becH operated upon :tnd when re moved, the appendix was fom1d w be entirely hea l thy : mel norma l, wh ile :cfter the oper:tion the patient continued to have :tll the origina l symptoms nf ap pendicitis. The same deceptions nay occu r in < 'ases of gall bladder d isease, mlitis, CH trou bleand others. 01i ropractors can spot these pseudod iscascs by C:lf e f u l a nalysis before operations arc performed, and c:cn relieve them as well as the genuine really disruptive ones. The bod y is both chemical labomtory and a mechanical structu re. \XIhen d isease occurs the ques- tion arises whether the cure should be tpproached from a chemical or a mech:.nical viewpoint. Medicine prescribes chemica Is to comct deranged body chem istry. Chiropractic ma intains ihat body chemistry is a utomatic and takes proper care of itself when all parts arc in proper rel ationsh i ps to each other and the individual has proper air, food, rest and exercise. It has found, fu rther, that when mechanica l defects upset body chemistry and cause disease, the cor rec ti<>n of these mechanica l defects will normalize the chemistry of the body. The usua l medical : ttitude is to bel ieve d isease is the result nf the action of external agents such as germs, fi ltrable viruses, a l lergic substances, and so on. i1wad ing the body. The medical doctor t ries to drive these out of tile body. Symptoms-the results rather than the causes of illness-play an im portant part in the diagnosis and deductions of the med ical doctor. But since various diseases produce almost identical symptoms this ty pe of aoa l ysis is vastly un certa in, whi l e most patients today are unable to af- ford the expensi"c methods of testing now in favor among the l1 ew young medical graduates. The medi c:tl doctor, then left to h is own resou rces and intui tions, generally aims to remove the disease by a pply ing a p:trticula r drug to a particu l aset of
symptoms. However, m<my so-called germ chseases respond to Ch iropr:.ctic more <]Uickly than to medical ger mi lidt'S. This indir:\lcs thatenns are not wh()l l y re 'l)lmsible f ur the il l ness, else an ad justmen t to re lie"c nerve interference would not help it. ChiJ'O pmctic is the cor rect remedy in al l conditions where there is congestion and all cases where there are bc>ny displacements and nerve interferences. Almost all ills e<>mc under these groups. Incidentally it should be realized that when medicine is taken, i t does not go merely to the diseased or.gan. Through the proc- ess of digestion it enters the blood st ream and thus reaches every par t a nd organ indiscrim inately. When for instance the kidneys arc being treated, the eyes, lungs, liver, and so on, are also receiving medicine never intended for them and certainly not of benefit if not actual l y harmfu l. To the Ch iropractor, disease is a distu rbed internal condition almost always traceable to the spine. He accordingly does not seek to suppress the symptoms ( lf the results of d isease, but removes the cond itions favorable for tbeiJ' activity. The Chiropractor knows how nerve-energy opera tes, where its fines of trans mission are lc>cated, h()w it may be disturbed, and how it may be set free. He is not so mucb concerned with a line of symptoms that go t<> make up some specilic d isease, as he is interested in getting a ll parts of the body in a free and easy position so that nor- mal f unctioning can take place. Let us compare the difference in approach to some specific problem, say diabetes. M :my are fami l iar with the insul in treatment for this trouble. [nsulin is made from the pancreas of certain anim11ls and is .given to the d ia betic patient to supply artificially the substances which the body hils to form natu rally. \XIhen skillfully administered there is no doubt that insu l in relieves this illness. However its effects are a ltogether temporary; the in jections have to be con tinuously repeated each day, and serious resu lts occur if they are omitted. Furthermore, the cause of the t rou ble is not cor rected, and ultimately insu l in loses its power and the patient succum bs. By way of contrast let us watch the Chiropractor h:md le th is prob lcm. Recognizing as docs the medical doctor, that the cause of diabetes l ies in the inabi lity of the pan creas to f unction properly, the Ch iropractor looks to the spine for the reason. He knows :en important fact that medical doctors persistently ignore: that th is important gland (as wel l as every other orga n) is supplied by specific nerves which l eave tbe spinal col umn at a particu lar place. He examines that region of the spine, real izing that sometl1ing out of nrder there is preventing the needed nerve force or v ital energy f rom rcad1ing the pancreas a.nd allow ing it to function nc>r mal l y. From h is professiona l k now ledge and the sensitivity he has acqu ired as to the loca tic>ns. movements, and functions of the spine ami its interrelations with a ll the ot he organs of the body, he rc:td ily makes an adjustment that corrt-cts the cause of the condition. I t is done quickly, pa in

gling for breath, no loss of consciousness, and the patient can be up and abou t immediately after the treatment. The proced u re is practically completely painless, or else the pain is both slight :llld momco tary. You are not made sick first in the hope of get ting well later. Ch iropractic is all improvement. It ca nnot in jure. Dr. ]. Madison Taylor, professor of medicine in the U niversity of Pennsylvania, testifies t hat even i njudicious pr ssure m manipulation of the spine ctn be corrected at once and causes no bad effects. Most people know from bitter experience that this is more than ma y be said about the in ju dicious use of dangerous :u1d poisonous drugs or the in judicious use of the surgeon's k nife. The el imina- tion of suffering in any particu l ar organ tbe Cb ixo practic
way docs not interfere with or distu rb the function i ng of other vital organs of the body. The tendency of" Ch iropractic treatment for one particu Jar ill, on the ot her ha nd, is to nor malize others as well. I t is surprising that persons should su ffr so long with an i l l ness which, had they come to Chiropractic first, would have been much less costly in both money :md suffering. Ch iropractors report from their cas histories that many penple have doctored for tw nty five years before losing confidence, and the average is about five years. They now come to Chiropractic offices beca use of the fai l ure of medicine to cu re them. Do you th ink they would gi ve 01i ropractic ' that much time? Fortu nately it is not necessary. In a few isol ated cases that :tre slow, at least recovery is progressing, not getting worse. In a Chi ropractic oflice it either can be done or it cant. In tbe latter cases, whid1 are very few, it is because the condition has been neglected so long that it .is beyond tbe power of nature to recover. Chiropractic add s noth ing to the body, nor docs it take anything away, therefore its progress is not hampered by the poison ous chem ica l s one ca lls medicines, nor hindered by operations whkh :tre costly both financially and pby sica ll y. The tales of long years of suffering and futi le efforts to obtain rel ief, of sm:tll fortunes spent in vain, of usel ess operations, of weeks spent at expcn sive health resorts are common experiences resulting from medical and su rgical procedure. Under Chiro- practic they arc done away w ith. The ca use of the trouble is removed. The Chiropractor does not treat local causes or symptoms; he gets at the seat of the d i fficulty and literally straightens it out. Consider also the relative cost of medica l treat 'l' ent "nd Ch iropractic. It h:ts proven itself a boon to patients in straightened or moderate circumstances from the fact t h at the du ration of a case of illness is invariabl y shortened through its prompt and effective methods, and a lso if nu merous adjustments are needed, they take very l ittle time f rom those who wish ro work every day. Let us see wh:1t a successfu l Chiropractor, Dr. ]. I. BMdsley, says on th is subject.
In considerable interesting detail, Dr. Bardsley tells of a man who had been doctoring for sox years for sinus trouble and who got well in four months by Chiropractic. The comparative costs were as follows: For three years his family medical doctor "treated" the condition at $78 for office visits, $117 for medi cines; dentist bill on doctor's advice, 8 extractions $8; $15 treatments on other teeth. He was then minus 8 teeth and otherw ise just as bad off. A friend referred him to another M. D. Office visits $26. Doainage and scr:aping, $10. Still no results. Next went to a specialist. Office visits $125. Medicines S65. Op eration $300. Hospital $75. Other office visits $25. Still no results. Tried patent medicines $30. Tried three or four other doctors; office visits and medi cines $50. Without counting suffering, inconve- nience, etc.. the total financial cost of this medical bill was $914.00 for no results. This is what the pa ticnt paid to the medical profession and to medicine for something they did not do, and which in fact they made worse. Contrast this with a tota l cost, covering a period of only fou r months instead of six years, of $60, for com plete restoration of he:alth! And it wou l d h:1vc been even less if the patient h:1d gone to the Chiropractor first instead of l nst.
of American citizenship have actually been denied to rhose refusing to submit to vaccina- tion or other widely advertised methods of so-called "preventive med icine." Today borJ1 inefficiency and dishonesty have invaded medicine-the first by its constantly increasing complexity and the second by its leadersh ip. The modern Joctor is supposed to know med icine, biology, anatomy, physiology, path olo&'Y pharmacology, cellular pathology, bacteri ology, serology, surgery, endocrinology, gynecology, psychoanalysis and a long list of others. All these growing sciences change from day to day. No one mortal can keep up with them. 111e individual young student of medicine is incJpable of analyzing the methods propounded to him, which he is forced to follow during his ye:ars of tr:oioing. He thus readily accepts as truth, statements often founded upon obsolete tradition, so lending all his inAuencc to the perpet1oation of fatal errors. Just consider the vast variety of prescriptions on fi le in pharmacies that have been written for the common cold, or influenza, or pneumonia. Chaos in d rug therapy results from the misinformation by which doctors are influenced, as well as their own overwork. They cannot take the time to get to the bottom of things. Doctors realize it themselves and by their own inefficiency arc compelled to hide behind a curtain of pompousness :md mystery. Medi cine claims to be the "scienrolic" system of healing. Tbe experience of one man, recorded in the Jan. 22, 1938 issue of Liberly Jllagm:ine, that ten docrors gave him ten different diagnoses of the san1e case, can be repeated so often as to be a common experi e11cc to many sufferers. More impressive is the testi mony of a doctor himsel f, Dr. Richard Cabot of the H a rva rd Medica l School. H e says of the post mortem findings of the l'vl assachusetts Geneno l Hospital where precision is mrried to its highest point, that rl1ese have proven the diagnosis wrong in over0 percent of the cases! I magine what this means to the trusting patient.
Last year Dr. 111omas Parran, surgeon general of the U. S. Public Health Service. stated tbat State and Private laboratories all over the country arc making such in: ccurate rests for syphilis that tbC)' miss ball of the cases :ond that others are making false positive reports and thereby l abeling healthy persons syph ilitic.
(n the search for proper substa nces to stimulate or inhibit various functions of the body, new drugs are brought forth each yenr :as cures only to be dis carded as dangerous or unsatisf:actory and to be replaced hy other <xperim nlal sub>t.uoces. The annual drug bill of this wuntry in round numbers
is $500,000,000. Of this, threefifths is spent for SO ca lled p:oteot med icines. The balance is in formulas invented by individual doctors for your ind ividual needs. The pharmncopia has 77.000 different drugs fOI' several thousa nd d ifferent uiseases, according to Dr. Richard Cabot, Harvnrd M. D. In England twehe miWoo patients under the National Health Insurance scheme consume over ten thousand tons of medicine every year. Palliative measures, seda tives and painkillers have quieted misery, but only 7 out of the 77,000 have proved to be specific. This is not an indictment ag:oinst the thousands of hard working sincere physicians, but it is an indictment against a method of pnocticc which in twenty cen tu rics has made such little progress, a system which so often assigns the cause of disc:'-lc to germs or i lls outsiue of tbe body instead of a difficulty within. It seems incredible that a propaganda group of doctors should ridicule Chiropractic. Tbeir own sins against Nature and man are such that civilized people cannot ref rain from bitter resentment against some of their practices, the evils of which even their own mysteriousness cannot prevent from coming to l ight. Take on ly one ex ample, the horrors of their serum i zation alone. I f the serums are taken into the body by way of the mouth, Nature has some chance of getting rid of the poisons; the digestive system has its specific methods of ejecting them. But when this filth is mjected directly into the blood stream, every law of natur:ol reason is violated and Nature has no way of protecting herself.
1\ scath ing comment showing the frigh tful resu lts of SCI'ltJ1lSicknesS, the UOC!Ormade disease wh ich fol lows such inocu lations, appears in a private medical publication not available to the public press. It came out in the July, 19} 7 issue of Rorbe Rerietv, a monthl) published by HoffmanLaRoche, Inc., of Nutley, N. J. This company manufactures medi cal preparations such as scnms, vaccines and toxins (or injections, and is well qualified to know the resu lts. Darwin S. Russell, Ch iopractor, st:otcs th:tt many diseases have been rather definitely ttaced to vaccinntion injected to cure or ward off some other disease. Among such resu lting diseases he names: measles, mumps, pertussis, tet nus, paralysis, ec ema, necrosis of the bones, cancer, S)philis, and tubercu losis. Many of these have re:.ulted io a life of agony and torture, others ending in a merciful death, while others may have been transmitted from one genera tio11 to the next. I t has recently been discovered th:ot a large number of those stricken w i th Infantile Patalysis e : those who suiTercd gteatly from their vaccination.
The English Royal Commission of Enquiry as f:or h'k .1s lllf!9 found rh.u it wa> possihle tu convey syphilis by smallpox vacdn:uon.
Dr. Robert Bell. em1ncnt London physician and cancer specialist says: "After the most careful :md conscientious observation, I find that the chief, if not the sole cause of the monstrous increase in cancer, has been vaccin:otion." Prof . Alfred Russell, dean of English scientists, states: "I afli rm that vacci n:tion is a gigantic illusion; that it never has saved a single life, but that it has given cause to much disease, so many deaths. sud1 a vast amount of utterly needless and altogether undeserved suffering, that it will be classed by coming generat ions among the greatest errors of an ignorant and prejudiced age." America is virtual l y free of smallpox. I t has been conq uered through sunit:ttion. Thomas \Y/. Pond draws tbis interesting ana logy: "A superci l ious smirk now greets tJ1e reading of some formula of days of old which prescribed ten drops of blood from a black eat's tail to be mixed with the essence of cer t; in herbs and taken at the full of the moon as a protection against the plague, bur the very individual who so scornfully scoffed at the so-called supersti tions of old, lends n ready eJr in serious contempl:o tion of the equally superstitious doctrine th at noxious fl u id from the pustu l es appearing upon a diseased ca l f if in jecte<i into the humlln blood stream wil l somehow prove ro be a pi'Otection against the plague of smallpox." Discussing vaccinatiOn for whooping cough, Edna M. lllcDowell, Chiropractor, referred to the com ment of a medical doctor investigating pertussis vac cine. In this connection the Medical Record of February 3, 1938 carries an article that lets out a little secret. Says the author: "I n order to check up my poor results with pertussis vaccine, I have asked many doctors of their experience with th is vaccine and their answer in the vast ma jority of cases was unfavorable. On further inquiry as to why tJ1ey are using it when the results are so poor, the answer mvariably was, because we are paid for gi,ing it." It docs not work, yer why continue to prescribe it; to take money for it- at the rate of three calls per patient. Don 't doctors as a whole know this? Listen to this conversation repoted by C. Sterl ing Cooley, Chiro praetor: Chirop(acror: "Doc, all these immunizing can1paigns are going to work you our of a job some da y. If rhis modern science of preventive medicine keeps on making disease impossible, it will destroy most or your profession's work." Medical DoctOr: "Don't worry about that. If we get 'em when rhey're babies and immun ize rhem thoroughl y, t hey're ou rs for li fe." If even a small pa1't of the ch:1rge against im munization is true, why does the group dict:otin , ,1llopathic polidcs w:111t it mntinued? The llli11f1ii ll<tdtb Neru reprinteu t11e address of a public health official in which he said in part, referring to the negligible number of children that get diphtheria nowadays: "But 100% of all the children are pros- pects for ''accination. Scarlet fever and measles will soon come in each for its 100%, etc., so that preven- tion, practiced to the utmost will not diminish but create more work for the physician ...There will be more vaccinating, more immunizing, more consulting and usc of the physician. His services wi l l be increased manifold.'" The financial side of it is what m:Lkes the American Medical Association laugh with devi l ish glee, in the phrase of Darwin S. Russell, Chiropractor: suppose everyone in the U. S. were to be vaccinated for smaJJpox. The cost each averages s;.oo--a total of $360,000,000 for small pox alone. And we will say there are si.other condi- tions that call for vaccination, according to these A. M. A. reports. This would total over two billion doll:ars. Master salesmanship if nothing better.'" \XIhere money is concerned we can always think up good reasons for supporting the pocketbook side of an argument. Doctors are no different from others in this respect. They receive fees for v: ccinations. Too, enor mous sums are tied up in the manu fucturc of the virus. I t is not money in anybody"s pocket tc. t:tlk :tgainst vaccination. Tbere is a great deal of money in the pockets of doctors and drug interests to talk for it. A doctor in court is held bl:amelcss for damage to a patient if he has treated him :1ccording to the '"prevailing practice," whereas he might be held I iable if he had used something that he, person:tlly, knew ''cry well to be better. It was an exercise of tyrannical power when, last year, an order went forth tO 30,000 Boy Scouts to be vaccinated or else not attend the Boy Scout Jamboree in Washington! We have gone into this at such length partly becuuse it is a story that should get an aroused public opinion as widely as possible, a nd partly to indicate some of the practices that ruling grou ps in the American Medical Association anJ d rug camp of healers arc engaging in with ourselves as guinea pigs, in contrast to the Chiropractic methods. We have cast : spersions at the inefficiency and dishonesty of certain groups in the medical profession, :and we have submitted a few evidences in support. The same organization that is behind these reprehensible proceedings has tried to ridicule Chiropractic, but their attitude toward their own
responsibilities is arousing more and more antagonism, and people arc turning more and more to the clean, wholesome, right-minded, resu l tful methods of the drugless healer. NEEDLESS SURGERY Not infrequently the medical profession suiTers :m attack from within its own ranks. Dr. Rich:ard S. C:1bot. professor of social ethics and medicine ar H:arv:ml and author of seveml volumes of medic:a l literature t.lld physicians tbat the pre>cnt-d:ty meJi cal system is ""absurdly expensive, :bsurdly ineffi- cient."" He scored the profession f or performing "an enormous number"" of unnecessary surgical opera- tions, and charged the American Medical Associa- tion with being ""dominated by a system of politics." He continued, ""It often t:Lkes delicate judgement to decide whether or not :m oper:at ion is necessary. There are big temptations. a big lot of money on nne side of the sca le and not a cent on the other. Surgeons are only human. There are :an enormous number of surgica l operations that ought never to have been done."" ETHICS?? Reviewing a report of the A. M. A. early this year. Waldemar Kaempffcrt, famous science writer of the Nell' Y ork Timn declared: ""M edicine is the only profession that is muzzled. It is muzzled by itself. There is the utmost of f rcedom of speech, thought and expression among chemists, physicists and engi- neers, but not among medical men ... Medicine is also the most pretentious of all rhe professions, and the least scientific. It gives itself airs because it has what it ca I ts cth ics." Physicians tell us: 'We deal with hwnan life. What we s:ay, therefore, must be very cautiously phmscd, :and we cannot slip out before the pubI ic so open I y as engineers.' Gentle- men rbat is not so; continues Mr. Kaempffert. '"The man who designs the block signal system for the New York subway is responsible for one billion or more lives every year. His signal system must not fail. The responsibility for human Life of a chemist or an engineer is fully as great as that of a medico. So I am not at all impressed when medical scjence says to me, we deal with human life.' Those interested can find a great abundance of opinion of the highest medic: ll authority to the effect that medical practice has always been honeycombed with pretense, dishonesty and bigot ry. I f you think it is confined to the past, read the recent best seller, The Citadel, a true story about doctors by a qualified doctor, A. J. Cronin. Asked by a reviewer, rs this novel a work of imagination or do such conditions really exist?"" the :author replied: "It is not fantasy. As a matter of fact it represents things that happen every day." While there is not space to describe these things, tl1at they :tre arrant quackery no one can deny.
llc average family physician, it cannot be too often repeated, is a man of honor and sincerity, an indispensable factor in our civilization, and genu- inely devoted to the interests of those who entrust their lives to his skill. Chirop t actic has only respect for the sincere medical pmctitioner, nor has he any idea that the earnest doctor can be displaced . But even if the medical doctor had time to study this suhjcct, he would go to ""ethical"" sources for his information, and it happens that ""ctllical"" education
and propaganda arc in the hands of a seru mizing immunizing clique. No member of the American ; \{edical Association can seriously question the die tates and mandates of that clique except at the cost of his c:ueer, unless he has unlimited courage and widespread reputation. Organized medicine largely predetermines what health books shall appear on the shelves of our public libraries. It also assumes authority over municipal health departments, indus trial centers, and even Congressional Committees.
It would seem as if ''preventive medicine'' were devised to prevent doctors from lacking patients. According to the small group of medical propa gandists from which the medica l profession as a whole is controlled , Chiropractic which removes the cause of disease instead of trining with the symptoms at so much per trifle, is positivel y dangerous. Time has proved that the new system is dangerous, not to t he public, however, but to the medica l treasury. There is a well -known story of an old lawyer who left his young nephew new l y graduated f rom l aw school, in charge of his office whi l e he took a few months vacation. On the old man's return, the youth proudly showed that he had cleared up, without any trouble, a lega l case that had la in on the shelves for years. The old man was horrified. "Good grief," he said, "that case has been my meal ticket for twenty years. You've ruined me!" Chiropmctic stands in that rel ation to organized medici ne. It cleans up the ctoscs and takes aw:oy their meal tickets.
Doctors bury their mistakes. The graveyards arc full of them- the smallest minority of whom died of old age. They can absolve themselves from negli gence, ignorance or Other untoward circumstances, for they alone make out the death certificates. Chiro- practors do not have this privilege. They do their thinking first. For those who say they do not have faith in Chiropractic, does it not require the quin tessence of faith to go to a medical doctor, often one whom one does not know; have an ailment quickly diagnosed; accept to
prescription written in a Ian guagc with which he is not familiar, in a scrawl whicll hardly anyone can read; have it filled with a liquid of which he knows nothing; and then take it for a purpose of which he knows less? If any heal ing profession can lay claim to a cure through faith, it is surely that of the medical doctor. When the patient gets well, it is usuully because he was immune to the d r ug he took :ond would have gotten well anyhow by Nature's own help. The medica l doctor tries to keep everything pos siblc from the patient, even the ditognosis if possible, and r: rel y does he reveal the materials used in t he prescription. Evusion mysteriously beclouds h is atti tude to the patient- a rel ic of the ern of witchcno ft in which medicine origintttccl :t nd which long was used to make the puhlit: bdicvc till dtKtor w:os 1>S sessed of supernatural power.
:tll por tray their kind of healing and completely ignore drugl ess therapy. Surgeons and medical doctors make the most o every so-called failure of Chiropractic while keeping quiet their own inability to get resul ts. Simi l arly they have put thumbs down upon ;my Chiropr:ctic successes. That 01iropractic has done more genuine and lasting good in the treatment of I nfantile Par :tlysis than :tny of the prescntday methods employed is evident the countr y over. That this beneficent ach ievement is not m:tde known to the entire world is not the fault of Chiropractors, any more than the fact that in the occasional opportunities Chiropractic has had to treat amnesia, the press reports have failed to mention tl1a t the cu res were e.ffectcd by Otiropractic. It is interesting to note that the now famous Dr. M. \VI. Locke of Williamsport, Ontario, who has succeeded in helping thousands of c:tses of a rthritis, paralysis and other conditions, has done it by what he chooses to call "manipul:ttive surgery," but what every Otiropr;tctor knows to be plain l y a form of Otiropractic. A nephew of Dr. Locke's who is a Chiropractor is associated with him at his clinic. The

customa ry history foUows his ca reer. H ere he is, a ''regu l ar" medical man, succeeding with and marvelously vindicating Chiropractic therapy, while "regu- lar" medicine loudly and persistently proclaims both himself and his method a fmud. At first, Chiropractors we1e arrested for p1 acticing med icine withou t a l icense, although they never prac- tice medicine and do not wish to. They authorize the statement on their own licenses stating that tley are forbidden to administer drugs or practice surgery or nbstetncs. I f they wanted to be medica I doctors 01 surgeons they could follow the ordinary routines of these professions and spare themselves a ll the hindrances thrown in tleir path. 1n the State of California in one year alone, 4)0 (hjropractors were arrested and sent to jail for the crime of getring sick people well. Such persecution continued in other states as well. This fon1sed attention on the subject and before l ong many of the states were asked to pass laws regulating and giving lkenses to Chiro- practors. They now have such privil eges in 43 states, and rank second of all the healing arts, being outranked by medicine in priority, habit, numbers, money and inRuence, yet in turn outranking it in actll,tl success as : 1 scientific means of hea l th restora- tion and maintenance. Popul:r ;lpproval, agaillSt the opposition of entrend1ed competition, has resulted in legal endorsement and regulation in the District of Columbia and all but six of the States of tl1e Union. Chiropractic is practiced throughout Eu rope arid the civilized world. The profession sustains no less than a score of colleges of outstanding merit where exclusivel)' resident courses are conducted qualifying their grad uates to pass examinations in the various states under boards made up entirely of medical doctors in some cases.
As an example of the way medical doctors mis- represent phases of Chiropractic let us look at the relative educational requirements. Before a Oiro- ptactor can obtain a license today he must have a background of knowledge thnt <1ualilies him for the practice of his profession. He must have gone to high school, col lege and 01iropractic col lege. He has studied anatomy, physiology and chemistry, bac- teriology, pathology, hygiene, histology, diagnosis. gynecology, Chiropractic philosophy and the numer- ous other br:1nches of his own science as well as el ective subjects. He does not practice sur11ery. Where this is necessary he sends the patient to a su.r- geon. In the hearings on Oiropractic bills held before committees of numerous State Legislatures the medical doctor boasts proudly of his four years' course in medicine and speaks scornfully of the few months required to obtain a Chiropractic education. He is always careful to mention medical ed ucation in terms of years while set ting forth Cliropractic wurses in munths. It is cnlishtcnin. tn unpMe them in the s.r.me terms. The .r.t.rJogue of the Col-
l ege of Pbysici:tns and Surgeons of Columbi:t Univc,- sity states tl1at the medical college opeos on Septem- ber 29tl and closes on June 1st, eight months in all. During that time there are 2) days total hoJjdays, 1) at Christmas, 4 at Thanksgiving, 3 at Easter, and one each for Election Day, Washington's Birthday and Mmorial Day. This is ooe full business month , and :t Simple operation in arithmetic reveals that a medical school year therefore consists of 7 months actual classroom attendance-during the 4 years' course, 28 months total. Most st:tte laws now reqllire of the CJ;iopractor a schooling of 24 or 28 montl1s, but the mmm1um requirctl by any state is 3 sd1ool ye:1rs, total IS months, and there are just two holidays, Ju ly 4th and Dccen1ber 25th. Thus the difference bet"ecn tl1e maxrmum medkal course and the mini- mum Chiropractic COllrse is a mere 10 months actual school work. These few months :tre more than c .e ounted for by such subjects as surgery, and the severa l thousand varieties of drug combinations whkh arc without value to a Chiropractor.
As far back as 1923, the toral class hours for the physician and su rgeon have been 3600, while for the Chiropractor 352!! hours. \XIhen the medical doctor graduates, be is privileged to practice upon the human body 19 different procedures, many of them comprising methods which entail grave danger to li fe, while the Oiropractic graduate eonlines himself to his single specialty of spinal :tdjustment. He is rel atively 18 times more thorough in his one field than the medica l doctor is in any of his 19, and who has spent only a l ittle more time in school to learn them. The Chiropractor also gets clinical experience in his training. At the present time efforts arc being made by the medica l profession in some states to standardize systems of healing-to place Chiropractors under their control and domination. To effect this, the medical profession is sponsoring what they call a basic science Jaw. Such a law wou ld require that Chiropractors su bscribc to the teachings of tbe med i- c:r l profession. I f you h;tve followed u s th is far, you wi l l real ize this wouiJ be the same as asking a pci list to serve as a major general. There is a complete conAict of the two ideas. Do not let anyone tell you that basic science is proposed to safegua rd the public by r:tising educational standards in the healing arts. 13:rsic Science is sponsored by the medical profession in l eague with drug combines. I t is class legislation sponsored by special interests. Under tl1e provisions of the basic science law, the drugless healers are deprived of their own Boards of Examiners and must su bm it to a rigid anti wholl y inappr<>priate form of c1uestioning dictated by the medica l monopoly which, were it applied with equa l vigor to old-school appl i' .nll> fur lkensc, wmrld reduce the ranks of new medr<.r.l pranitioncr> to the vanishing point.
This notorious unfairness and discrimination per- m i ts the medical monopoly to pose as final judges on the quali fications of license applicants in a science of hea l ing with whose principles the medical pro- fession is totally unfamil iar. Their daily practice and experience based solely on the use of drugs a nd surgery is so directly opposite to Chiropractic doc- trine that it is absurd to suppose they can properly act on the subject. Chiropractors realize the futi lity of attempting to pass basic science"" cxam inaions before Boards composed of medica l doctors on sub- jects treated only from the medical viewpoint. The governing group of med ical doctors, namely the American Med ica l Association, wants complete monopoly over all healing methods. The news- papers this summer have been ful l of public and government indictments against this group which has now been dubbed the Medical Trust, and which h:ts consistently opposed group health protection and every other progressive movement in the interest of the publ ic if it carries with it the sl igh test possibi lity that i t may limit the income of the doctors or destroy their present monopoly. This indictment is not mt:dc against the thousands of earnest, honest medical practitioners and sincere scientific research men in the medical profession. A sharp distinction exists between these, however, and the political organization heads of the propaganda and publicity department of the American Medical Association wiJO want to destroy everythjng in the healing field which they cannot control. That hu n- dreds of a lert and progressive doctors a rc resentfully aware of the reprehensible tactics pursued by their governing group is demonst rated by the large and growing number of rebels who are vigorously defending the public interest against the na rrow, backward , highhanded methods of the parent body. As Clarence Darrow put it in one of his vigorous articles denou ncing the tactics of the MD"s "They a rc not content to vaccinate the people who come to them and ask for it, but they ask the State to pass laws to compel everybody to be vaccinated. I might as well ask the State to pass a law to compel every- body to hire me to try their cases:
Dangerous health laws give the power of l ife and death to this one grou p alone. The medical profes- sion has decreed that if medicine can't cure you, you must die: In order to prevent the victims i f i ts failu res from finding life again through other meth- ods, it has instituted a system of laws, inRuenced by legisl ative lobbies paid for out of immense treasuries, and subtle propaganda that puts publ ic interest in the matter at the bottom of the list. Medicine is the only system of hea l ing that constantly seeks laws that will compel you to usc the services of its doc- tors and to submit to their processes. All other systems of healing are satisfied to stand or fall on their merits. The American Medical Association , according to John L Spivak (The Medical Trust Unmasked ) ""is the most powerful trust ever organ- ized in the history of the world: lts tentacles, he intimates, penetrate every city, town , vi l lage and h:unlet, interfering in the public and private affairs of every community. Such is the nature of the pri- vate corpor:ttion that is now seeking laws to com pel every man, woman and child in the nation to sub- mit to its dictates and decrees. Our lawmakers long ago recognized the dangers of private monopol ies in rcstmint of commerce and trade and enacted drastic laws against tbem. But our courts, allowing most of these enactments, give orthodox medicine a free hand in its field of t reating the sick. This is regard- less of the fact that there are tens of thousands of legally recognized, well qual ified unorthodox health practitioners with licenses to serve the sick.Thus here in our midst we have an infamous, unArncrlcan plot to commercial ize human suffering. We have a f ascist tyranny-medical fascism- and it wou ld be well for the American people to be vigilant about their wan- ing liberties in th is intimate matter of their he<Li th. \XIhy shou l d the medic.d profession be granted a monopoly in the healing arts? The Chiropractors ask onl y the right to survive on the basis nf merit. Millions of people have received benefits through their mmstnotions. Two systems Obviousl y it should be the right nf dictated to by inimica l laws enacted something to sa y as to the service of healing are desirable; they stimulate incentive and research. every American to choose the method of healing he desires and not to be by selfish self-appointed bosses. The man who pays the bills should have he desires.
FAILING TO CR USH - THEY SEEK TO ABSORB Despite th is dog-in-the-manger attitude del i ber- ately affected to humiliate and weaken irs potential rival, 01i ropractic h as continued to grow and is con- stantly making new converts. The medical group finding no success in the extermination of Chiro- practors by scorning, knock ing, legislative restric- tions and other propaganda are now seeking to absorb 01iropractic into their own med ical practice. Since Ch iropractic has called startling attention to its :tbility to effect cu res where medicine has failed, prominent medical men have made certain "discoveries" which confirm the principles and philoso- phy of Chiropractic. To these discoveries they give new names more closely identified with medical nomenclature. Wl1ile some of the findings made by prominent members of the medical group are conscientious and sincere, they cannot avoid speaking the Ch iro- practor's language when de scribing and explaining these "new" ideas. But the profession as a whole h as to "save face." They believe they cannot admit that it is Ch iropractic they have found after thcir profession has for so long ridiculed and condemned it. Their findings, verifying Chiropractic principles, arc being exploited as new and startling, and coming f rom or thodox sources, are accepted by the medical profession. So now we see the medical profession today using methods of t reatment which were being condemned as quackery a few years ago. The success whid1 Chiropractors attained in treating various human ai lments through manipulation of the spine and other :trticulations of the body has finally attracted the attention of the med ic:t l profession to this mucl1 neglected part of th e body_ Medical doc- tors have extolled Hippocrates as the father of heali ng but for centu ries his instructions as to spin ! adjustmeors h:tve been overlooked by them. Only 111 recent years th rough the success attained by Chiro- practic h as the medical profession begun examining the spine as an important part of the body structu re. Mcdic:tl doctors h:tve never properly concerned t hemsel ves with the spine, according to ample testi- mony_ One of thei r number, Dr. Theodore A. Willis, of St. Luke's Hospital :md the Anatomica l Labor:t:ttory at Western Reserve University, Ohio, tells of the lack of interest of the medical student in the study of th e backbone in the following words: "For the last ten years I have been given the opportun ity to examine all spinal columns :tftcr students of the local medical school h :t ve finished their dissections. I have found very little disturbance of these spines to ind icate :my curiosity on the put of the students as to even the gross anatomy of the part- This may explain the difficulties of the average physician when confronted with the problem of backache, as well as the tendency of the sUigeon to turn his patient over and remove some dispensible pa r ts from the abdomen or female pelvis, concerning tbe anatomy of whicl1 his cu riosity has naturally been more active."
When the White House Conference on Ch ild Health and Protection called in 1932 issued its reports, some interesting facts on this subject came to ligh t Dr. Roberr B. Osgood, chairman of one of the committees, said: "The subcommittee has found it impractica l to collect rel iable d ata as to wh at is being done to promote good body mecl1anics by that large and important group known as U1e general practition- ers. Its impression from its own experience is very st rong that the average general practitioner has been insufficiently informed :tnd conse<juently not vitally interested in the deta ils of body mechan ics. The su b- committee h as expressed its opinion that the vast majority of the physicians of the U.S. fail to appreci- ate the importa nce of good body mechanics in pro- moting the health of children and adu lts. This fail ure of appreciation is primarily due to :1 l ack of tmining in the basic principles in med ical schools." Small wonder then that Ch iropractic receives criti- cism f rom some medical men who a re completely ignorant of its basic principles and their importance_ Dr. Hartwell, President of the New York Academy of 1\ledicine, speaking in his offici:d ca pacity to tbe Board of Regents of the State of New York, frankly adm i ued that Chiropractic has a real va lue in the treatment of d isease. It can be foreseen that when the medical doctors brazenly try to absorb Ch iro- practic, they w ill probabl y declare t hey had always known its principles, but were unw ill ing to give them medical approval and put them into practice until they had undergone the many yea rs of testing which medicine requires of all new discoveries. This of cou rse does not confor m with t he customary pol icy of making guinea pigs of patients whenever new drugs or serums are involved. l\led icine shows a d istinct trend toward drugless therapy today. It has absorbed osteopathy. It is using ph ysiotherapy. It is slowly adopting Chiro- practic but giving it a n:tme of its own-spinal therapyimplying that it is a discovery of their own. Chiropractol's are being employed by the medical colleges to teach Chiropractic under the na me of Spina I Thel'apy _ As an example of the gradually awakening in- terest and acceptance of Chiropractic by doctors, a strik ing confession was made by H. \Y/.Scott, M. D., reported by him in a medica l magazine that would reach only medical doctors and not the general public. Th is was the American Medical Jou rnal of Clinica l Medicine in the issue of September 1920. He said in part: ''Becoming convinced that many ajlments were due to malalignment of the vertebral column, I decided to learn more about correcting these abnormalities. I frank l y confess that I obtained this information from a Ch iropractic college . .. 1 now examine the spine of all patients: He then gives a number of remarkable case histories of successes in curing deafness, paralysis, kidney, bl ad der and djgestive disorders, and others, many in curable under medical care. To cite another early example, the Medical Record of Ju l y 30, 1921 contained an article by J. Madison Taylor, A. B., M. D., who was professor of Physica l Therapeutics and Djetctics, Medical Department. Temple Un iversity, Ph il adelphia. He said in part:..A trained eye and touch will note on examining the back areas of most individuals, young or old, certain anomalies of structure. These are r( rely noticed because the spine is seldom examined, but they de serve critical attention and djfferentiation.... My reactions to these phenomena have led me to adopt the habit of exploring the backs of most a those who come under my observation. Others wou ld be repaid by doing the same. One fact is sure, far too few physicians do explore backs, and yet fewer seem qualified to interpret the 6ndings... Reasons for this have al ready been set down. The only medical doc- tor 9ualified to interpret the findings is that pro- gressive practitioner who has supplemented his medi- cal tmining with a course in Ch i ropractic. There are today many such, and Dr. Arthur Greenfield, who knows a number of them, has stated that they attain results that conventional medical methods never gave them. I f any medical doctor attempts to advise you about the efficiency of Chi ropractic, find out whether he has studied it. Otherwise he is not quali- fied to discuss it, much less practice it. Today modern me.d ical men arc more generally admitting that minor displacements in the spine are common rather than rare, and that they cause func- tional disorders in remote organs is no longer regarded as debatable by enl igh tened physicians. In many American hospitals patients are given anaes thetics and treated with forcible adjustments to cor rect these d isplacements. The Chiropractor accomp Jishes these desired resu lts by milder methods that do not requi re the hospita l or the anaesthetics. The techni9ue of the d r ugless methods is as delicate and exacting as is surgery. To practice these methods :111d to recognize cases upon which thei r techn i()Ue shou ld be useJ demands special ized training which is not included in any medical college. Medical practice and d rugless practice are as seprLratc and dis- tinct as are the languages of England and Fn<nce. Tnin.ing in one is no qual iJlcation for understanding or using the other. Any attempt to force them into one category is whol ly :utificia l and decidedly ag: inst the public interest. Independent research by another scientific investi- gator, Henry Winsor, 1 V!. D., has completely affirmed the Chiropractic thesis that disease is associ ated with spinal mis:tlignments. He examined 50 bodies at the Laboratory of Operative Surgery on the Cadaver, in the Un iversity of Pennsylvania and reported his fi11dings i11 the Medical Record. The resu l ts of this investigation are of great importance. It is shown definitely that in the fifty cadavers with
disease in 139 organs, there were found 1>8 m inor curvatures (misal ignments) of the vertebrae belong ing to the same spina l segments from which nerve fibres to the diseased st ruct ures pass out. Thus we have a complete anatomical verification of Chiro- practic from the doctor's view-point, for the science of Ch iropractic looks upon the spinal column as the cardinal index to heal th and disease. A l though Dr. Winsor calls the misalignments whjch he fi.nds "minor curvatures of the spine," he admits, "the subluxations of the_ Chiropractor and the minor curvatures of the spine appear to be the one and the same.'' Another outspoken medical doctor, M. E. King, has on his own initiative won himself to the Chi ro practic pbj)osophy, as he states in an article in the Thefl1pe111ic Review on ..Why Chiropractors Should be Recognized by the Medical Profession... After giving it a wholehearted e11dorsement he contin ues: ..The medical profession as :t whole does not accept this Chiropractic idea, but in almost every instance it is due either to prejud ice or '' lack of investigation. There was a time when I looked at Chiropractic through a pair of bifocal lenses, the upper plus prej- udice, the lower plus lack of investigation. But because med icine with all its adjuncts had failed to reach the complicated ai lments of my inva l id wife I , like a drowning man, grasped for a nyth ing in sight. I learned of Chiropractic through a friend of mine. I went at once to a school of Chiropractic and rc- m:tined two weeks investigati11g the science of Chi ropradic and to my surprise they were actually getting results on cases that were hopelessly i ncu.r- able from the standpoint of medicine. I soon saw that the theory they were working on was plausible and met the approval of common sense--" (he then describes i t) ..All this opened up a new field of thought to me which had never been presented through my fifteen yearsstudy and practice of medi- cine. My wife was exam ined at a school of ChirO practic. I noted c: refully that the on l y exam ination made was that of the spcne, which was dnne by the sense of touch and the use of the X-ray, which revealed a lateral cu rvature plus several subluxated vertebrae. They :It once proceeded to correct rhese subluxations and her improvement started at once and today she is in a good state of health. Seeing the possibi lities of this new science in the treatment of suffering humanity, I laid aside all prejudice and Started into the work in ha rd earnest aod now, after thy r ears of experience and clinical observation, I come to the medical profession and advise that they no longer light Chiropracric but investigate its merits and then you will not wonder why so many of your patients who failed to get rel ief from medicine have stroll ed off to the Chiropructor :tnd h:tve gotten the thing they most desired and that is hea lth." Sud1 a testimony is typica I of the people who have tried all that medicine could offer, only to lind help in 01iropractic and realize the possibilities in a sys- tem that doctors have selfishly tried to withhold from the public. Fortunarcly, at long last, more and more doctors are coming around to admir the value of Chiropr:tcticeven though they still sometimes ca ll it spi nal therapy. Dr. R . J. Berry, dean of the f:tcu lty of medicine at the University of Melbourne, states: "From the standpoint of the physician, there ca n be no disease which docs not disturb the nerve cells concerned. If the ca use of the disturbance in these conducting pathways can be ascertained and removed, the patieot will be cured. Otherwise.treat- ment merely diverts attention from the truth.'' If medical doctors as a whole admitted this, the prob- lems of the Chiropractor would be over. Some months ago Dr. George Crile, famous surgeon and physiologist of Cleveland, told fellow scientists th:tt high blood pressure was a result of excessive activity of certain networks in the nervous system. Research disclosed, he said, a hitherto unknown "sympathetic complex'' in a networ k or nerves connecting the adrenal glands. This network proved to be the machinery through which impulses flowed to speed circulation and oxidation of the blood. By operating on this network in order to red uce its activity, Dr. Crile was able to reduce blood p1cssu rc. The Chiropractor can influence the nervous system by less radical me:ms. The spinal ad justment will remove irritation from the various networks, thus reducing its activity to normal. Another endorsement of the principles of Oliro- practic was found in the joum111 of the Am<'rirmt Jlltdir"l Auocidtion for May. 1934. authored by Dr. John Berton Garnett, professor of surgery ar the University of Pennsylvania. ln his article he con- cludes that append icitis symptoms may be caused by some form of spina l trouble. He says: "There :trc a great v:tricry of causes for neuralgia in the anterior abdominal wall or any other part of the body. Any rurm ur nerw irritation nuy pro<luu' neuralgia. The usu.tl c:mse of duonic ncurJigia is some form of spinal trouble. In common with many other surgeons I no longer operate for chronic appendicitis. I ts alleged symptoms can be cured by extra-abdominal measures. Spinal adjustments have evoked great enthusi:sm 011 the part of LaForest Potter, M. D., orthopedist or the York City. Quoted in the Verdicl of Sri.ure 011 Chiropractir, by A. A. Erz, Dr. Potter states: "After practicing medicine fifteen years and spinal orthopedics nearly ten, I am daily astonished at the remedial power of spinal adjustments as a cure for
disease. I find myself wholly at variance with rhc medical attitude toward vertebral displacement and its relief. 1 'v!inor subluxations of the vertebrae n nd i l ia are exceed ingly common, as shown by the X-ray. Disease is clearly traceable to these displacements. Replacement is practically painless, and in a remark- ably large number of cases, curable. The theory of spinal adjustment makes no claim to an exclusive therapy. It simply offers a working hypothesis whid1 has proved of remarkable value. This hypothesis is in perftx:t accord with the scientific facts of anatomy, physiology, biology and physics. While medic: tl science recognizes the grosser forms of vertebral dis- pl acement (known as luxations) it denies the ex ist- ence of the minor displ acements and the d iscascs rel ated thereto. In this attitude it loses sight of the vital details in contemplation of the mass. Now, it seems to the spinal orthopedist that it is precisely the lesser bone displacements (spinal subluxations) and the finer and subtler pressures that often consti- tute the largest factors in d iseases: Even Dr. RoyalS. Copela nd, M. D., :tnd l ate sen:t- tor from New York, one of the arch enemies of drugless heali ng :tdmittcd in a newspaper a.rticlc on spinal curvature: "I t is unfortunate that this condi- tion is so fre<juently overlooked, because it may lead to many other disturbances... Dr. Heinrich Nicholas. director of the gastro- intestinal research at M ichael Reese Hospital. Chi- cago, has discovered that ulcers of the stomach and duoden um result from a disturbance of ilerve supply to these parts. Herm:u1 H. Rubin, M. D. fellow of the Amcric: u1 Association for the Advancement of Science, author of Your Mysterious G l ands, states: "Psychoanalysts arc so absorbed in the study of the mind, in ana l yz- ing the free association of ideas. in determining the psychology and hidden explanation of dreams. th:u it may never occur to them that rhe headaches, stomach trouble. neuritis, or nervous irritability they are attempting to cure may be due to noth ing more serious than a displaced vertebra wh ich any compe- tent Chiropractor can restore to normal position in ten seconds, and which all the king's horses and :t il the kin, ;'s men muld n ut put bat k by menta l mc;ms m ten y<-ars or ten rhuusand yc.1rs."
It would not be difficult to fill a large book with findings of this character thai have been :announced in medica l journals and other writings during the last few years all supporting and verifying the pral"tices of druglcss therapy. Thus we see Chiropractic, the leading druglcss profession. caught between the devil of assault in front and the deep blue sea of absorption from behind. Fortythree years have passed since the founding of Oiropr.tctic by Dr. D. D. Palmer. During th.tt time it has gone through intolerance, C.naucism, condemnation. censure. It has been ch:arged with being harmful, grotesque. crude. hs practitioners have been scorned, abused and ridiculed. Yet through all this :teid testing, its scope of usefu lness has gmwn and broadened and no strategy has served to down it. I t has adopted scien tific methods, incre.tsed its educational st:mdards, fought against the ceonomic usu rp:ttions of its enemies and a worl d once rcl uctJnt to acknowledge it has now given it high rlocognition. Whether these two forces of powerfu lly organized and cntrcn.:hecl :t l lop:tthy. n:uncly scorn on the one hand :1ncl :tbsorption on the other. wil l achieve the elimination of drugl ess the t a py as a competitive entity remains to be seen. Regu l ation by l:tw secured by medical men , so far has shorply dccre:.sed the number per capita qu: liRed to care for the sick and enormousl y increased the cost of care. Regu l ation ha> not raised the character of the profession , or the family doctor, the best loved and most h ighly respected of a l l , would not be disappearing. Regu lation was not chiefly respons ible for the so-called great discoveries in rnt-dicine. for many of them have come from the laboratories of the chemists and the universities, where regula tions are relaxed or do not apply. Regulation has not eliminated doctors' mistakes or Dr. Richard Cabot. Ill. D.. would not say that di.tgnoscs were wrong in 'or; of the cases. Dr. Cabot would not say thar an cnonnous number of surgical operations are unnecessary. Decreased numbers and higher fees loom large in the ptcture. n,e Chiropractor puts nothing into the body, cuts nothin:tway. Any regula tion which re<1uires him 10 c1u:tlify :tS :t physician and : surgeon could only t.tkc his time away from his specialty and lessen his chances of success with it. Such regulation tends to monopoly and higher fees, and someth ing morc-a few ye: rs ago it was an unheard of thing for a n M. D. to refuse to answer a call-most everyone knows of such a refusal now-too many because a fee was not forth coming. Chiropractors a re not against fair regula- tion, they are unalterably opposed to monopoly. What of the patient? Is he an incompetent? C.1n some careless legislature force him ro pay for a drug store and endow a surgery when he wants only an X-ray and a spinal adjustment? Has any man or group of men, official or nor, the right to say to the sufferers who bear the pain and who pay the bill- get relief from our brand of doctors, or not at all, any others who serve )'OU "ill be punished as crim t- nals? Think on these
things when regulations arc proposed. Some freedom of choice must be pre- served to the man who wants to get wel l.

Testimonials
The following statements have been made voluntarily by patients of Chiropractors. To attest their good faith and accuracy, the statements have, in most cases, been signed before notaries pu blic. lt must be constantly kept in mjnd that these statements are in the words of the patients themselves. It would be inaccurate to change statements made by patients and for that reason we have left them just as they reached us. Where some patient has suffered long and p: infully only to find health and happiness tmder Chi ropractic care, it is reasonable that they
are enthusiastic about it. Thus any appearance of condemning or ills countenancing any other heal th profession i s not premeditated. The Chiropractic profession strives only to help sick people and to prevent disease, it does not indulge intentionally in any form of recrimination. Since the true value of any proposition depends upon its results, these testimon i als from persons who have benefited in almost aU types of disease from ad justments, can lead to but one conclusion, nan1ely that Chiropractic is a valuable science of health.

The n<rves tha t extend from brain and spinal cord to a ll body tissues are the power lines of the body. They condun curren ts of nerve force m the vta rious organs. It is this current that enables swm uch and bowels, liver and kidneys heart, glands, etc., to fuocdon prop crly. This cur(tnt of nerve force is also needed in the heal ing of wounds, t he knitting of broken bones and the cure of a ll kinds of disease. \XIh:ucver interf eres with the free llo'\v of this force must of nccc.ssi ry distu rb normal function. ba.rm nor- mal lissue and thus produce disease. Because the nerves which carry this cu rrent pass berween vcrcebrac that are mov:tbl c and subject to misal ign- ment, the spine is of such grea t im- ponance in healt h and disease.

HlROPRACTlC is universally recognized as the foremost drugless health science. Its fundamental principles are readily explained, and
are as readily understood by the intelligent mind. Millions of cases have been restored to health by the competent application of these principles, and in thou>ands of cases Chiro- practic has proved successful after medicine and other methods had failed to get the patient well. Graduates of The Palmer School of Chiro- practic are engaged in the professional practice of Chiropractic in every state of the United States, and in practically every foreign country and territory in the world.
A rea.! opportunity is presented to ambitious men and women who desire to become members of this great profession. Public recognition of the tremendous health benefits embraced by Chiropractic is growing constantly and the ser- vices of conscientious and well qualified Chiro- practors are ever in demand. You are asked to investigate the merits of Chiropractic, because its record of achievement in restoring the sick to health can successfully challenge that of any other known health method.
Write direct to The Palmer School of Chiro- practic, Davenport, Iowa, and ask for a copy of its School Annotmcement.

EACHING is an art. It involves the collecting of both theory and fact and making them a part of the knowledge of the student. The true teaching artist chooses wisely the most effective means of imparting his knowledge. The Burton Shields Company is an educational organization whose purpose it is to teach the value of Chiropractic to the layman. Very early you realized that your students, the genera l public, could absorb these facts if accompanied by human interest stories in the words of those who have recov- ered health through Chiropractic. Your explanations of scientific facts have made seeming miracles understandable. For twenty years you have devoted yourself to the task of gathering such stories, making certain they were true, and presenting them in printed form to your millions of students. Your efforts are invaluable to the human family. This book of layman evidence will be one of the most valuable educa- tional volumes of all times. It w ill be the indirect means of the restoration of health to thousands of grateful people. Universal Chiropractic College is also an educational institution. Since 1910, it has been training young men and women to perform such seeming miracles as are recorded in the pages of this book. The Faculty of Universal Chiropractic College, recogmz10g excellent teaching ability, salutes the staff of the Burton Shields Company for an incomparable educational service.

HE
Chiropractic. The O'Neil-Ross College has adequate equipment in every department, X-ray, Diagnostic Laboratory, class rooms, etc. We invite inspection at any time. The clinic of the O'Neil-Ross College is well known. The students have actual cases for their own observation and treating. This makes for successful Doctors of Chiropractic and the students actually learn from first hand experience about most diseases. This experience is worth much. We invite inquiries fcom the interested publ ic.

HE MECCA COLLEGE is a straight Chiro practic school. We do not condemn other methods of drugless healing. We teach 100 per cent. Chiropractic- plus common sense. The keynote of the Mecca College is simpli lication. lt is the oldest school of Chiropractic in the east and jdeally located in the most beau tiful section of Newark in its own building.
The famous Orange mouotaills are before us and the beautiful Passaic Valley behind us. And with all this beautiful surrounding only eighteen minutes from New York City. The Mecca Facu lty and lecturing staff headed by Dean Collins is composed of men whose names are known throughout the medical and Chlropractic field as masters i n their line. The Mecca equipment and library is modern in every detail and offers studentth . e last word in completeness. Professional and post graduate courses are availabl e-3 years of six months each- four years of seven months each and four years of nine months each.

STABLISHED IN 1919, this private Chiro practic educational institution has grown consistently. In their new and enlarged quarters on the entire second and third floors of their building illustrated here, they arc providing one of the outstanding scholastic courses in the profession. Requirement for admission is a complete high school education. A minimum of four school years consisting of nine months each is required of each student expecting to graduate and receive the degree of Doctor of Chiropractic. Tbe general course of training covers anatomy, physiology, diagnosis, pathology, bac teriology, hygiene, d1emistry, Chiropractic philosophy, palpation and drill, and a clinical internship of one year. During tbe senior year tbe college gives the student various physio therapy training in the handling of disease con ditions. A course in dissection of the hwnan body is also included. The total nwnber of class hours taught is as follows: Freshman year 570. Sophomore year
555. Junior year 1,14-0. Senior year 1,155. This makes a total of 3,420 sixtyminute hours of class work.
The field of Chiropractic, accord ing to Dr. Smith, offers many specia l lines which receive the college's attention and about whid1 students may freely consult. Chiropractors are being appointed to responsi ble consulting or advisory positions in the industrial world, where they take care of the many spinal and other injuries occurring in the dai ly routine of factory work. A number of Chiropractic Physicians own and control private sanitoriums. Women Cbiroprac tors find the field of Gynecol ogy (relating to women's diseases) and Pediatrics (relating to chi ldren's diseases) especially suited to their capabilities and find women and children espe cially responsive to this type of adjustment.

IS
the fact we make it possible for the student in many cases to earn part i f not all of his expenses while attending. Another im portant element is the fact our course covers a broad field. All of the basic subjects such as physiolob'Yanatomy, chemistry, techn ique and practice of Chiropractic, histology, diagnosis, symptomatology, pathology, hygiene, bacteriology, pa lpation, nerve tracing and cli nical practice, receive hundreds of hours of careful teaching. The faculty of Missouri Ch iropractic College is rated high in scholasti c standi ng. Under conditions that have been d iscouraging f rom the standpoint of public apathy and at times politica l harassment, we have bui lded slowly but solid ly our institution until today it is recogn ized as a beneficial portion of the community. To teach men and women to care for diseased people and alleviate human sufferi ng has been our constant aim.The Chiropractic method of adjusting dis-placements in human spines thus relieving interference with v ital nerve energy and restoring health, is the work of this institution. We of Missouri Chiropractic College are proud of our achievement.

Chiropractic Hospitalization
T
popu larity of Ch iropractic within the last decade has read1ed such proportions that hospitalization becomes :t pressing problem. For reasons that appear entirely unfair to competent Chiropractors, our patients cannot be g iven care in the general, tax-supported institutions. Hundreds of thousands of persons who have experienced the beneficial results from Chiropractic have refused to be taken to a hospital where they could not d10ose the character of treatment they felt to be best suited for them. As a result many private hospitals, sanita riums and clinics, giv i ng strictly Chiropractic care, have been builded.
H
Within the following pages you will see some of the institutions that have been bui lded entirely by 01iropractors and their patients. It is a tribute to these institutions that they have maintained a high st:mdard of nursing and care without any support from government or taxpayers. Chiropractic ed ucators and authorities arc firm l y convinced that ade<juate hospitalization is an important factor in the adjustment of many cases. It has not been possible to picture all the fine Chiropractic hospita l izing units. There are many not shown. This array of well e<juipped private institutions is representative of Oliropractic's contribution to th is phase of handl ing disease. It will be seen to represent a substantial financial investment. It testifies to the public's faith in the 01iropractic profession. The day is not far distant when all the people, in fairness, will demand that a patient be permitted to choose his health counsellor and that such health counsellor be recognized and permitted to adminjster to his patient in all taxsupported institutions.

C. D.I CDoNAI.D, D. C.. N. D., director and founucr of the present 10-room institution, began the practice of drugless heal- ing just 18 years ago in a small office in Benton Harbor, Michi- gan. His practice steadily increased lx-cause of the /
Modem Home of McDorwld Hecdth Clinic remark:tbl e resu l ts he was able to achieve in helping his patients regain health; and, as a private practi tioncr, he felt the need of an instit u tion within the profession to which patients who needed constant ca re and observation could be sent for hospimlization and trcmmcnt. He first began to feel the need for such :rn institu t ion when he began to concentrate his efforts on the treatment of Arthritis. His research and constant efforts to successfully combat Arthritis had convinced him that the disc.tSC could be more quickly overcome if the patient could be placed in an instiwtion where all the factor> of wnter, sunshine, electricity :1nd food, which mnke for perfect health, cou.Ld be controlled :mu rcgulateu accoruing to tbe requirements of each specific case, and that these factors, when controiJcd nnd adm inistered in conjunction with spinn l :otljust mcnts, would hasten permanent recovery. In 1933, the MCDoNALD HEALTH CuN IC moved into it. own new buildiog-speciaiJy constructed. modern, spac1ous and lire resistant throughout. Since thnt tJme it has been necessary to nearly double the original space in order to accommodate the ever incre:tsing number of patients. Drugless pr:1ctitioners throughout the country h:ovc welcomed the institution's founding, and t:1ken :1dv:u1tage of its abl e : 1ssistance in helping them to solve :tnd rel ieve stubborn health problems of their pnticnts- pMticu larl y Artluitis cases.

Dr. McDonald is a registered Chiropractor and Naturopath, and has long been prominent in the general activities of these professions. The outstanding success of the McDonald method of treatment for Arthritis lies in the fact that appli- cnble functions of all the drugless hc:Jling arts are combined in a concert'-d :ottack upon the disease from : 111 approaches.
