CHIROPRACTIC DEFINED.HISTORICAL: Chiropractic was discovered by D. D. Palmer, ofDavenport, Iowa, in September. 1895. From that time he has developed it into a well defined science that has no resemblance what ever to any therapeutical method. The cures are made by adjustments that are unique and unlike any movements used by any other school.Chiropractic as defined by the discoverer and developer:All acts or movements of any or all parts of the body, (including the circulation of the fluids) whether normal, in excess, or a lack of, are but the functions of nerves. There is not an ache or pain, but thatare the sensations of deranged nerves.Every act and thought is controlled by innate and educated nerves; they are the life of the body.The body is heat by calorific nerves, whether the heat is furnished in normal quantity as in health, or in abnormal amounts as in so-called fevers, which is but excessive heat, whether in a part or the w'hole of the bodyWe are in health when the innate and educated nerves are free to act natural.Disease is a condition caused by nerves being excited or depressed, deranging their functions.Innate nerves run all the vital functions of innervation, assimila-tion, circulation and respiration when we are asleep or awake. Dreams, whether remembered or not, are sensations of the innate nerves.All diseases are bur the result of deranged nerves. Ninety-five per cent of these are caused by vertebral luxations which impinge nerves. These displacements may be caused by accidents while we are awake or asleep, or by poisons from decaying animal or vegetable matter, whether taken in by inhalation, food, drink, or by the outrageous practice of the physician who inserts vaccine poison in a healthy body.Chiropractors use the long bones and processes as handles to adjust these displacements; by so doing, wre release pinched nerves.
