Show Chiropractic Explained to Large Ogden Audience by Dr. Greggerson Development of New Science Which Rejects Re-jects Materialistic Conception of Disease Dis-ease Is Discussed; Anticipate Further Progress by Chiropractors; Fred G. Taylor Speaker at Big Assemblage A splendid audience of approximately approxi-mately 1,000 persons greeted Dr. lames Greggerson Friday night at the Tabernacle to listen to this master lecturer lec-turer discourse on the science of chiropractic chi-ropractic Prof. Sam Whittaker presided pre-sided nt the organ In his usual masterly mas-terly style, and accompanied Manol-fda Manol-fda Smith.

McKell, president of the Ogden Chiropractic association, acted 1-. hairman of the meeting. 1 red Q, Taylor was the first speaker speak-er and among other things tat l that until he had had an opportunity of visiting vis-iting the Palmer School of Chiropractic Chiroprac-tic In tho city of Davenport, Iowa, ho did not have an idea of the earnest-ni'ftx earnest-ni'ftx :.n.l smi rilT of flit h o o 1 1 re. 1 s of ft Ui loots who wero there enrolled for J .the studies lie referred in high, I teruia to the wonderful personality of Dr. B.

Much had been said against the science of chiropractic, and its prac-tlflbhsrs prac-tlflbhsrs had suffered much persecution persecu-tion and prosecution, ho said, but if the science was able to do what it professed pro-fessed to do, no amount of opposition opposi-tion would bo able to overthrow It, Mr. Taylor continued If It failed It would fall a-- a natural business proposition, prop-osition, but if It proved to be of service ser-vice to suffering Immunity It would go forward In spile of ridicule and al.us I I 1 I II. MM. MISSION The speaker continuing said, "I do not hold a brief for chiropractic, but Emer.son. the efficiency expert, says that the first rule of efficiency effi-ciency Is to take In the best and quickest quick-est way possible the most desirable thing iji life. The person who haw health has everything, and when he loses that why should ho not bo free to seek Its restoration from the Christian Chris-tian scientist, the hydro-tljeraplst. the pSJ cho-theraplst. or tho chiropractor?' Why should anyone, object lo his going go-ing to either of them us ho chooses? "I feel, as I have already said, that if chiropractic is to survive It will do so by reason ti tho fact that It docs restore health to tho stck and afflicted. afflict-ed. If It Is to remain It will remain on its merits. Dr. Greggerson. In opening his ad-do ad-do ss. spoke as follows: "In IS'.'. Mr 1 li. Palmer and Harvey Har-vey Millard were both working in the same building In Davenport, Iowa. Palmer as a magnetic healer and milliard mil-liard as Janitor. For certain courtesies cour-tesies extended Dr. Palmer gave LH-liard LH-liard magnetic treatments and while doing so noticed irregularities In the spine. Millard had been deaf for 1 7 years and explained to Palmer that i i i i i ii i while making a heavy lift ho felt something crack In his back and ho became doaf Immediately afterward. Palmer adjusted this lump on tho spine ami heard It crack as tho vertebrae verte-brae slipped Into place and within a few days Millard regained his hoar-1 hoar-1 " Palmer was surprised at the ro-UltS ro-UltS and ho turned to tho medical books to establish tho relationship between be-tween tho splno and one's hearing He found nothing shown In the standard works as to any connections whatsoever whatso-ever between the spine and the sense of heuring. In fact you will vainly search tho medical books today for such an Idea. M M l KIAI.lst K CON 1 1 1 ION.

It has three phases, a spiritual, an intellectual and a physical. physi-cal. "Tho ear does not hear, the eye does not see, nor does the tongue taste, but the Innate intelligence functions through these purtlcular organs. Thus we speak of the spiritual functions of innate intelligence, with thirty or forty odd mental functions, and also of the nlno primary physical functions func-tions Chiropractors are engaged In getting the sick well and are not con-cerned con-cerned with the spiritual functions They are concerned with the functions of the physical and their expressions are known as health and disease If a function Is below normal u is an abnormal function and this Is also) true It the function Is above normal, i" ( TOR'8 METHODS.

I "Chiropractors aro not concerned with questions of terminology, but i they aro concerned as to how to get sick men and women well. Some people peo-ple say that you might as well be dead 'as out of Style, and Insist on dying for a medical doctor, rather than getting , well for a chiropractor. In chiropractic chiroprac-tic wo have something on superior to medicine as the fast freight Is superior super-ior to the ox cart Wo have no desire to turn backward and call It progress; all wo ask Is but for an opportunity to proceed and develop the infinite possibilities pos-sibilities Of our science unmolested by men who know nothing of Its philos- j ophy.

"Naturally you want to know by what method we obtain the results that wo do and It Is sufficient to say that wo merely adjust the smcnls of the spinal column Messages are enr-rled enr-rled from Innate Intelligence through the brain to every part of the human organism and when any segment of the spinal column has become sub-j sub-j luxated It Impinges tho nerve and ! eauses disease- Just as the flower that depended for lis life upon the jner ui'HMi uiu ii cnv uuw .w. in- j terfered with by nn obstruction When you go homo tonight place your arm over the edge of a chair and you will find a tingling sensation in your hand and a like Irnplngment upon the sciatic nerve will cnuso the sensory' function to be felt In the leg.

I think that we arc quite safe In assuming that the last j word has not yet been spoken. i chlroprnctors do not. In splto of the wonderful results achieved by this new science, we feel that we are still In a position to go on and on. and on, and we aro very far Indeed from the last word."
