Show CHIROPRACTIC OPINION OP WELL KNOWN MEDICAL MEDI-CAL MAN To 'whom It May Concern: As to the causes that led up to my change from an old school practitioner practi-tioner to the final acceptance of Chiropractic Chir-opractic was a rational method of procedure in combating disease would say: the process was an involuntary in-voluntary one. It took me some time to be de-hypnotized. de-hypnotized. I never dreamed that my education at the Harvard Medical Medi-cal School was so defective. I was not even taught how to dissect a spine. None of the medical schools of this day require dissections of the spine. When one considers that the spine is the key to the entire sitmation and has more to do than any one factor with the maintenance of health, on the one hand, or the establishment of dis-ease on the other, one can appreciate ap-preciate why it is the allopathic doctor doc-tor "meets with failure so frequently. With all his pretentions of superiority superi-ority he is sadly handicapped, because of his gross ignorance concerning the spine and its relationship to dis-ease. His dissections of the body have been confined to the arms, legs, head and internal organs, the importance of making a dissection of the spine is utterly ignored and yet it is the most vital and most important thing in the whole anatomical structure.. His mental attitude of superiority is based upon ignorance, arrogance and pretense. His willingness to accept the responsibility of the treatment of dis-ease under such circumstances stamps him as a pretender. Chiropractic is a drugless method of healing, and is based upon the scientific fact that the soft nerves as they escape from the lateral openings open-ings of the spine frequently become impinged by coming in contact with hard bone; hence pathological changes take place at the termination termina-tion of the nerve, sometimes in the flesh and not infrequently in the vital vi-tal organs of the body. I have personally seen cures effected effect-ed by the method of adjustment, by men who have thorough instruction concerning the spine, whose skill in curing disease should make the most brilliant surgeon in the land ashamed of his incapacity.
