Primarily he is trained to know what region of the spine is involved in any abnormal condition, Trauma (accident) excluded. Secondly, he is highly efficient in determining which segments of the spine are at fault; and third, he is a spe- cialist in restoring those segments to their proper posi- tions. This is all he does. He uses no’special apparatus for this purpose. His work is done entirely with the hands, and when he accomplishes his purpose, namely, the restoration of the spinal segments to their normal po- sitions, health is the only possible result. ° Drs.
