Palmer College ArchivesThe many letters that we receive from those who have bought
Chiropractic at their own price, and length of time desired, and now
wish to come here and get it first-handed from the discoverer and de­
veloper, reminds me of the lady who when buying perfume, desiring
to be saving, got a low grade at her own price. It was adulterated
and contained but little of value. She found that she was beat at her
own game. Druggists, as a rule, sell what is called for. She took it
to a responsible druggist and informed him of its poor quality, that it
was not what she expected. She had p.'iid 25 cents an ounce. She now
desired an extra quality to mix with it. He informed her that he hint
Palmer’s Perfumes, there were none better, they were always first:
class, but that they cost 75 cents an ounce. Siie then asked what lie
would charge her for an ounce, feeling that he ought to make good
the low grade of her perfume. Thus it is with those who buy Chiro­
practic of a low grade, and find that it is not satisfactory. They do
not exactly feel that we ought to make it up to the standard, but they
wouid like to have us help them out by cutting down their course and
the price.

To accommodate many persons who desire a short course, we have
the following terms and prices: Nine months for $500; six months,
$400; three months, $300; one month, $200; ten days, $100.

“ How Osteopathy Treats the Blood.”

The following is copied from the Journal of Osteopathy, page 196,
May number, 1904;

“ It is well known that pure blood is an absolute essential for
health. The blood is the medium whereby all organs and parts of the
body are supplied with nourishment for repair and growth.

“ There are five ways, at least, how the blood is influenced and
treated by Osteopathy.

“ The general Osteopathic treatment is something more than a
modified combination of massage and Sweedish movements. Simply
something more by virtue of additional manual spinal column stretch­
ing and rib separating. From this we see that Osteopathy is a combi­
nation of massage, Sweedish movements, spinal column stretching and
rib generating.

“ Osteopathy also offers much along the line of treatment of rend­
ering and keeping the blood germicidal.”

It will be readily seen from the above that Osteopathy, like Allo­
pathy, is founded on the old bloody delusion, viz: “ The blood is the
life.”

Chiropractors have discovered that the nerves are the life of the
body. That it is controlled in every act and thought, even to the
heating of the body, by innate and educated nerves. That all the func­
tions of the body are controlled by nerves, that disease is but deranged
nerves performing functions in excess, or a deficiency.

I give the above for those who think there is no difference be­
tween Osteopathy and Chiropractic. Spinal column stretching, even
if used by a Chiropractor, is Osteopathic and not Chiropractic.
