Che Casper Daily Cribune PAGE THRE! Taking the Kinks Out of Your Spine (Reprinted from PHYSICAL CULTURE) NOTE BY EDITOR OF ETAL. CULTURE—The Author has written here have seen. .Two of the suggestive of his own experience of years agu. - Threatened restored through Chiropractic adjustments. It was this that led him to character owed. His sensational success {s attested Scotti, Titta Ruffo, Stacciarl, = = Bolt : ‘ sbi ron, In the last twenty-five years, there has been developed @ science of combating disease cgnditions in the human body which is known as Chiropractic. In twenty-five years it has grown from nothing at all to where it has now over ten thousand practitioners with a total clientele of something like six million people annually. Recalling the old adage about not being able to fool all the people all the time, it would seem that here is a record worth investigating. The science of Chiropractic rests upon a theory which has been proven correct, by deduction, In thousands and thousands of actual cases. That is to =iy, the Chiropractor does certain things and people get well. ‘They know they have regained their health. He knows he did a certain thing to them. He did it according to a certain almost mathematical formula. He always does the same thing the same way—and it always gets the same results. Thus far, there is absolutely no theotizing. Here are facts which may be seen and known. Then the Chiropractor explains just WHY the thing that he does is productive of the results achfeved. His explanation is the Chiro- practoc theory proven, as has been said, by deduction— by results. The theory begins by saying that the whole body of n is mechanical; it fs a machine. Considered simply a8 a machine, it has within itself all the necessary parts and it manufactures all the elements ncedei to repair those parts, through assimilation of natural fool! taken in from without. Fopd and water are the “fue!” and the body ma- chine is capable of tranforming and using these to best advantage, without other outside aid. The body is self- regulating and self-reparative. This is in contradistinction to the older theory that the body of man is a chemical composition, that disease comes from without and that, in the event of disease, curative agencies must be introduced from without. While Chiro- practors recognize the existence of germs, as a physical fact, they do not admit that germs, per se, cause disease. The germ theory will be taken up at somewhat more length a@ little further along in this article. An inanimate machine must have outside motive power. The human machine has seemingly inherent motive power. But there is something which makes the human ma- chine “go.” What is it? Well, we usually say it is life force, or vital energy. What is vital energy? It is nerve force, or nerve energy. ,Here, though we are only playing with words. What is nerve force? No one knows exactly, It just 18, it is a fact, it is the electricity of the body. Just as it is impossiblé to explain the exact nature of electricity, just so is it impossible to detail the precise character of nerve force. We ure ever struggling toward a solution of the problems involved. - Whether or not the correct answer is ever found will depend, in large measure, upon whether the supreme intelligence ever should deem it wise for finite man to lift a corner of the sable curtain beyond which lies infinity, The theory under discussion contents itself at present with the statement that nerve. energy, whatever it is, is the motive power of the human machine. Whether this nerve energy is generated within the body itself, or whether it cofnes from without—from the great power house of nature—no one can at this time state with any degree of exactitude. There are many byways of speculation on this point, but no broad, traffic-beaten roads which promise to lead to definite knowledge. ‘This brings us to the kernel of the Chiropractic theory —that all body processes are controlled through nerve energy; that as long as this nerve energy is distributed without interruption to every body part there will be no abnormality of bodily function, but that if distribution i halted or interfered with in any way, the body machine will suffer. Health is the result of. perfect transmission of nerve energy; disease is caused by interference with such transmission. The nerve system, ramifying every body part, dis- tributes the essential energy throughout the body machine. It flows along the nerves, not as blood flows, but as elec- tricity passes along wires. The main artery of the system is the spinal cord, a closely bound bundle of nerves branching away at vari- ous, points. Tho spinal’ cord is encased within the bony confines of the spinal column—a succession of twenty-six movable bones separated from each other by discs of elastic cartilage. The nerves which go to every body part must pass. through and: between these movable bones as they branch away from the spinal cord. In other words, soft nerve tissue lies close to hard bony structure. The Real Cause of Disease It is very easy for one or more of the little spinal bones to slip slightly out of perfect alignment, since they are movable und since the spine is the recipient of all the shocks of the whole body. There is added cause for a slight dis- placement of these bones from the fact that the spinal column is upheld by flexible muscles, ligaments and tendons and any sudden emotion or change in the constituency of the body fluids tends to contract these and thus pull the bones out of place. When one or more of these bones do slip out of align- ment, nerve tissue is pinched, squeezed or unduly tensed. This interferes with the free flow of nerve energy and results.in some form of bodily abnormality. This is the theory upon which the science of Chiropractic is based. The Chiropractor examines the spinal columns ‘of his patient, finds which of the little spinal bones arc out of place,'and by a system of skilled hand thrusts, puts them pack in proper alignment again. That is all he does. ‘A study of anatomy will show that nerves going to particular body parts branchway from the spinal cord at certain definite points. Thus, the Chiropractic philosophy claims that when certain bones are out of alignment, it indicates abnormal conditions in certain corresponding body parts. So, before taking the “kinks” out of the patient's spine, the Chiropractor makes a preliminary analysis in order to find just the character of the abnormal body con- dition. This enables him to work with accuracy and pre- cision. Summing the matter up, the theory of Chiropractic is that interference with free flow of nerve energy is the cause of all disease in the human body and the Chiropractor’s sole work is to remove pressure upon nerve tissue by ad- gusting the bones of the pinal column, the converging point of the entire nerve system. This accomplished. Nature docs the real work of ticaling. Does It Work? Now, how does this theory work out in practice? Are we justified in admitting the correctness of it? This can ‘only be shown by the cases in which Chiropractic has been employed. If positive results are shown in case after case, we should be justified in accepting it as being at least a little more than a mere empty theory. The writer has been giving Chiropractic spinal adjust- He takes from his own files a few illustrative cases, not because they are particu- larly remarkable, from the Chiropractic standpoint, but because they seem representative of results achieved by Chiropractors everywhere. Louis Marengo, of New Yorks @ little boy of twelve For the past three years, he has not been able to run and play like other boys because he was suffering from what physicians diagnosed “Tuberculosis of the foot.” For ‘@ year and a half the doctors injected serums; for another Amato, De Luca, Rosa Kaisa, dardon, Florence Reed, Elsie a Clara Clemens Gabrilowitsch, Marguerita Sylva, Emilio de the year and a half, they kept his foot in a plaster cast. But the littie foot got no better. Finally, the doctors at Brooklyn hospital devided that amputation was necessary. They were fraid that if they delayed longer, the whole leg might be- come infected. When the doctor's decision was communicated to the boy’s father, Antonio Marengo, he decided to make one last effort to save his son from the surgeon's knife. He came to the writer, asking if Chiropractic could offer any hope. He was told that there was a chance. What Examination Showed. An examination showed that the boy's hip bone and sacrum were badly displaced, thus causing pressure upon the ganglianic nerve centers which supplied the leg and foot with nerve energy. Inquiry revealed the fact that the lad had fallen under an auto three years previously, seon after which his foot began to become “tubercular. Before starting with the Chiropractic adjustments, the boy was taken to one of the leading orthopedic authorities in America who was asked to watch the progress of the case. This surgeon made an examination and expressed not only a willingness but a desire to watch how the case progressed under Chiropractic. After a month of Chiropractic adjustments, the pain and swelling disappeared. The boy was again taken to the orth- pedic surgeon who expressed the utmost amazement at the improvement, At the end of the second month of adjus' ments, the foot was practically normal and Louis Marengo is today to stand and walk without any difficulty or pain. All that was done was to release pressure on nerves so that the affected foot could receive its quota of nerve energy. Nature did the rest. By a simple process of spinal adjustment, a twelve-yearvld boy was saved from being a lifetime cripple. There doesn't seem to be a great deai of theory about that. Saved From Blindness. Almost everybody kno Rigo, the Hungarian gypsy violinist, who has been delighting audiences in both Europe and America for years. It is not generally known, how- ever, t a little over six years ago Rigo faced a crisis which bade fair to change his billing from “The Gypsy Vio- Unist” to “The Blind Violinist. In April, 1914, Rigo was stricken with a very serious eye trouble which threatened the loss of his sight. Two prominent eye specialists were called in, the result bet that after twelve days of ruitless treatment, it was di cided that nis only hope lay in operation. The operation would have almost inevitably cost him the sight of one eye and perhaps both. Then the writer was called in on the case. At 2:30 in the afternoon, Rigo received a Chiropractic adjustment. In the evening of the same day, the inflammation in his eyes had subsided» and his vision had returned to such an ex+ tent that he was able to conduct his orchestra without any troubie. Subsequent adjustments restored his sight com- pletely. This is another example of the healing and restora- Uve action of nerve energy when the interference which holds it in check is removed. Seven years ago, lung specialists told Lillian Walker the famous picture star, she of the smile and tho dimples, that she had tubercular trouble. For almost seven years she took treatment, as well as traveling all over the country in an endeavor to gain relief through change of climate. Two life insurance companies refused to give her insurance. In January of this present year, she began to grow much worse. She coughed continually, was unable to sleep, lost weight, and was intensely nervous. Physicians told her there was only one, hope for her—to go west and stay there. As a last resort, she decided to see if Chiropractic would be of any benefit in her case. An analysis showed that she was not tubercular at all, but that some of the bones of the spinal column were displaced, pressing upon nerve tissue, which resulted in a bodily condition which closely simulated tuberculosis. After three weeks of Chiropractic adjustments, Miss Walker recovered completely. She regained her normal weight, slept soundly, ate well, and felt better than she had in seven years. She had her lungs tested and the test showed her. lung capacity much above t average for one of her sex and size. Instead of going west, sh is now in nee York working on her first really big picture since her ness. How About Tuberculos This is the second “tubercular” case qioted.. No medi- cal cure has ever been found for the terrible malady tagged “tuberculosi In two cases, as here shown, the phys- icians' diagnosis was wrong. This causes at least a thought to arise that perhaps there really isn’t any.such thing as tuberculosis. Perhaps 4 cortain combination of abnormal bodily conditions, caused by spinal displacements, have such a character in common and are so baffling to medical treatment that it has been found necessary to brand these conditions, collectively, as “tuberculosis.” This is not dis- counting the existence of the micro-organism tubercle b cillus. It is merely hazarding the thought that perhaps cer- tain abnormal bodily conditions may be favorable to the propagation and increase of these germs. The above is. not stated as a fact. Chiropractic makes no claims to any’ special discoveries along this line; it does not claim to be able to banish the Great White Plague. Th tubercle bacilli cause a disintegration of tissues in the bod and Chiropractic cannot replace tissue once destroyed. But Chiropractic can, and often does, halt the progression of the dread malady “tuberculosis” by the simple process of get- ting the bodily machine back to normal—and a norma! bod- ily machine is no place for a self-respecting. germ. The Germ Theory. This brings us to a consideration of the germ theory. As was said at the beginning of this article, Chiropractic does not deny the existence of germs. To do so would be to deny something which can be seen and known. But this science of spinal adjustment does deny that germs are the direct cause of any disease. Chiropractic considers germs as the scavengers of the body. The germs eat up waste and poisonous material with- in the body. But they believe in marrying and giving in marriage, and in the raising of large families. The nor- mal body does not allow them to increase at too rapid a rate. When they become noisy and boisterous, so to speak, they are thrown out of the normal body. But when the body is abnormal, the germs find a ready welcome and no “Keep Off the Grass” signs. They eat up the waste matter as al- ways, but when that is gone, they start in eating healthy tissue, Then‘ we have disease. Germs we have always with us. It is only when they become too numerous and begin to lunch off healthy tissue that they are a menace. Through keeping nerve energy flowing freely to all parts of the body, Chiropractic keeps them from undue activity. The Influenza “Germ.” The “germ theory” of disease has set the medical pro- fession by the ears the past couple of years, trying to find the germ which is the “cause” of Spanish influenza. The influenza germ appears to, be a very elusive fellow. Latest reports are that he exists, all right, but that he is so small and given up to die with tuberculosis, both’ study the science and take it up as a and standing of his many patients well known in the most powerful microscope is una! view of the results achieved by Chiropractic in the influenza epidemic of 1918, Chiropractors are unanimous in their de- cision to let the influenza germ stay where he is—IF he is. In 1918, official figures show that medical doctors lost one out of every sixteen influenza cases attended. Osteo- path lost one out of every 127 cases attended. Chiroprac- tors lost one out of every 886 cases agtended. Medical doc tors lost better than six per cent; osteopaths lost a little Jess than one per cent; Chiropractors lost about one-ninth of one per cent. These figures are not anybody's imagina- tion; it is the actual official record. And there isn’t a great deal of theory in the actual fact that Chiropractic proved St, four times more efficient than medicine, in this epl- jemic. astelle Winwood, the talented English actress, was se- riously {ll with influenza when the writer was called on her om In a few days she had completely recovered. She says she owes her life to Chiropractic. That, it would seem, is the final test of any healing science or art—does it save lives? If it does, then it is worthy of consideration. The science of Chiropractic, in its twenty-five years of existence, has had to fight prejudice, opposition, skepticism. And it has gone steadily ahead saving lives. Against the opposi- tion to Chiropractic, there rolls back the concerted chorus of thousands, “Whereas I was sick and am now well,” to locate him. In Saving Lives! Florence Reed, great emotional actress, star of “Chu Chin Chow," “Roads of TPestiny” and others, called the writer to attend her mala who was ill with double pneu- monia. It was necessary to stay right at the patient's bed- side and give her Chiropractic adjustments all night. She recovered completely—and after two physicians had given her up to die. Saving lives! That's what Chiropractic is going every day! Never mind about the theory. It's saving ves. Miss Reed herself had been a patient of the writer’s, and had recovered from chronic bronchitis. She was, natu- ralty, an enthusiastic booster. Knowing its benefits, she had called on Chiropractic to Bave her maid. That is the way in which Chiropractic has grown—through one person recommending it to another. A healing science must have merit when its growth is due almost. wholly to the good word spoken by those whom it has benefited. It is due to the personal influence, in large measure, that any single practitioner's practice tends to become spe- clelized. As an example, the writer. has, by sheer force of events, specialized more or less on affection of the throat. Having got “started,” so to speak, with opera singers, he now has a large number of them among his clientele. Theso opera singers have seemed to find in Chiropractic surcease from vocalistic troubles. There is nothing extraordinary or startling about their cases, but it seems fairly plain that they would not employ the services of a Chiropractor to keep them in vocal trim unless Chiropractic “delivered the goods.” Opera singers may be long on temperament, but they are extremely short on theory; what they demand is technique, Sophie Tucker, vaudeville herlinér, developed a sud- den cold last winter and could scarcely speak above a whis- per. The writer gave her a single Chiropractic adjustment d she was able to go through her act on the stage that night without ‘trouble. A few more adjustments and she was herself again. Frances 8. Gottlieb, soptano soloist, Temple Beth-El, Jersey City, New Jersey, suffered a severe attack of laryn- gitis a few months ago, the culmination of about three years of ever-recurring hoarseness and vocal trouble. She came to the writer and after a single Chiropractic adjustment, there was a decided improvement in her condition. After the second adjustment, her entire middle register was clear and after the third adjustment, her voice was perfectly nor- mal again. This much as evidence that Chiropractic can and does get results in throat and lung affections. Of course, it would be unfair to the science to confine the evidence to any one class of physical affections, or to intimate that it was more effective in one class‘of case than in another. War Echoes. Elsie Janis, whose wonderful work with the A. E. F. overseas gained her a commission as Captain in the Amer- ican army, returned to New York in a much weakened con- dition. The life had been altogether too strenuous for her, but in the excitement of it all she had not realized it. After a few weeks rest, she went on the stage again in New York with “Her Gang” revue. The result was that she found herself playing solely on her “‘nerve"—her nerves were shattered. The writer gave her Chiropractic adjust- ments, going to the theater every evening and adjusting her in her dressing room before, during and after the performances. The* audience could detect no flaw in her work on the stage, even when she almost collapsed on reaching her dressingroom. But Chiropractic soon gave her back her old time vigor. It was a really remarkable demon- stration, not on!y of “nerve” on the part of Miss Janis, but also of the tonic and restorative effect of Chiropractic, even though the adjustments were given under difficulties, in a case of shattered nerves. Margaret Mayo, famous as the author of “Baby Mine,” “Twin Beds” and other stage successes, returned from France suffering from a very serious nervous break-down, after a prolonged term of service in entertaining the troops in the immediate vicinity of the front with her company known as “Mayo’s Shock Troupe.” Five or six weeks of Chiropractic adjustments and Miss Mayo was restored to apparently complete health. The writer has had other instances of typical war cases in which were demonstrated the efficacy of Chiropractic ad- justments in shell-shock, insomnia, chronic neuralgia, par- tial deafness and impaired eyesight, notably those of Captain David W. Pratt of Toronto, Lieut. Lawrence B. Sperry of Garden City, New York; Ira H. Woolson, consulting engi- neer of New York City, and Gillman Hunt of Rochester. New York. (Report of these cases was published in Physical Culture for April, 1920, page 117). Resting The Case. So it would be possible to go on. Case after case could be cited, if space permitted. It would be possible to tell of results achieved in gases of rheumatism, neuralgia, consti- pation, stomach disorders, kidney trouble. chronic catarrh, and so on right down the list. Enough has, however, been told to convince the most skeptical that there must be some merit to this science of Chiropractic. The cases given are all well authenticated. Practically ail of them are of men and women well known to the general public—people who would not permit their names to be used in any other than a legitimate way. The particular cases were selected espe- cially because of the high standing of the patients involved, that there might be no doubt as to their authenticity. It is upon evidence like this that the science of Chiro- practic rests its case. The Chiropractic theory has results back of it. It is not an empty boast. Amelie Rives (Prin- cess Troubetzkoy), the noted authoress, was last year given a course of Chiropractic adjustments by the present writer and recovered from a bad case of chronic indigestion. At the time, she said, “Chiropractic must surely be ‘white magic.” Many others feel the same way about it, although there isn't any magic to it at all. It is simply a sensible, scientific application of a sensible, scientific theory. And it is getting results. That is the final test. —————————————————— Ea aan Drs. J. H. and A. G. Jeffrey Drs. B.
