HISTORICAL: Chiropractic was discovered by D. D. Palmer, of
Davenport, Iowa, in September, 1895. Prom 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 that
are the sensations o f deranged nerves.
Every act and thought is controlled by innate and educated
nerves; they are the life o f 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
whole of the body.
We 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 but 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 prac
tice of the physician who inserts vaccine poison in a healthy body.
Chiropractors use the long bones and processes as handles to ad
just these displacements; by so doing, we release pinched nerves.
CHIROPRACTOR—One who practices Chiropractic.
D. C —DOCTOR OF CHIROPRACTIC. The affix used to designate
one who practices Chiropractic.
TREAT— (Webster)—To care for medicinally or surgically; to man
age in the use of remedies or appliances; as, to treat a disease, a wound
or a patient.
ADJUST— (W ebster)—To make exact; to fit; to make correspond
ent or conformable; to bring into proper relation.
