LAW OR STATUTES? LAW: That universal, unital and mortal understanding and knowledge, which is stable, permanent, fixed, inflexible, a constant thru all time, in all things. STATUTES: Those changing outside written ant printed rules and regulations, fluctuating from time to time, place to place, flexible and variable, to meet ever shifting theories of educated man which he thinks best to fit into and regulate the lives of other peoples from outside-in, below-upward: fixing as crimes and penalties, violations of such, from time to time and place to place, as subjected to the caprices of interpretations of one man in high places or a group of men elected to enforce them. [7]

WE NEVER KNOW HOW FAR REACHING SOME THING WE MAY THINK, SAY OR DO, TODAY, WILL AFFECT THE LIVES OF MILLIONS TOMORROW. It is better to light one candle Than to curse the darkness. Get the idea, all else follows! [8]

“The most valuable drawing in the world— For it solves all the problems of man.” [ 11 ]

PROLOGUE “In the beginning, God,” the LAW of the Universe. The SAME LAW in all units, it creates, vegetable or animal. The SAME LAW circumvents abnormal conditions as best it can. The SAME LAW personifies itself in quadrupeds and bipeds of the vertebrata, species and families, IF all channels of communication are open, free and clear of impediments, obstructions, hurdles or interferences in its paths. “In the beginning, God” man being one creation. Medicine, per se, is supposed to “scientifically” do from outside what “God” can’t do from inside of man. “Educated” medical men and “scientific” medicine, with test-tubes, microscopes and laboratories with endless compounds, deny the “cult” tenets of abilities of a Supreme Internal function. “God,” no matter how defined, is omnipresent, omniscient, omnipotent, INSIDE of man in THE CREATION OF MAN. Where is this IN man, if it is IN man at all? If it is, this all pervading INTERNAL power must be recognized and established as a dominant factor in healing WITH man, sick or well. All space, all time, all things that grow, produce, reproduce, and live are governed BY LAW. And yet, medical men, by insignificant EDUCATION, ARE INTOLERANT OF THIS FACTOR IN ADMITTING its place functionally INTERNAL to run man. They substitute accumulations of OUTSIDE theories to try to prove man MUST BE directed to live by OUTSIDE experimental impractical ideas of medical men who have lived no longer or know no more than he who is sick. It HAS required the sage of ages, in depth of intelligence to REPRODUCE the human race. It requires THE SAME quantity and quality of intellectuality to PRODUCE each human being. It requires THE SAME breadth of reasoning to direct, control, regulate and govern INTERNAL functions in each unit once born. Man is conceived, born, lives a few years, dies and in spite of what he blindly thinks he sees, pits his 50 years of “education” against millions of lives, with aeons of time, working thru billions of products. [ 12 ]

Over and above, back and in behind ALL power and its expressions in a body, is “that something” which no man has even seen, felt, tasted, heard or directly sensed—that GREAT UNKNOWN SOURCE—the Universal Intelligence and its fragment of the whole in units—Innate Intelligence. This unreachable and untouchable IS limited in second-handed privileges, extended to educated man to use, if used constructively. He should be in tune with the Infinite within. His boasted medical education comes a blank at birth, which he unfolds by Involutions from outside-in, below-upwards within limitations but which Evolution from above-down, inside-out he CAN NEVER DIRECT, GOVERN OR CONTROL as IT relates to inner life within that body. This Internal Governing Director, or Master Control, SUPERIMPOSES its intent, purpose and design INTO every mental impulse nerve force flow, directing it WHERE to go, WHAT to do WHEN it arrives, WHEN to come and go, HOW MUCH to do upon arrival; WHEN to work and WHEN to rest; adapting Itself to ALL internal necessities as well as external environmental conditions. Educated man cannot divert, pervert, side-track, circumvent, add to or subtract from this by external artificial means. Why should man ignore INTERNAL INNATE INTELLIGENCE HE IS BORN WITH? Religiously he affirms it. Medically he denies it. The chiropractor AFFIRMS IT AS A LIVING ENTITY, conceding its exclusive ability to restore abnormal to normal, sickness to health, regarding IT as the SOLE SOURCE in the beginning, during life, capable of bringing back health when interfered with in the one only kind of sickness IT knows. When insanity exists, WHERE does SANITY come from? Where is SOURCE of sanity when it returns? Dr. George Crile, Jr., in his book CANCER AND COMMON SENSE, says: “No one knows what a living cell is, or what life itself is. All we know is that life is change, life is growth. “Since the time the sperm and ovum meet, the fertilized egg begins to grow. What makes one egg cell grow into a chicken, another into a frog, another into a man? What makes the hand of a baby grow? It grows into the hand of a man and then it stops growing. What makes it stop growing? That is the mystery of growth.” Too often THE PATIENT sells THE CHIROPRACTOR DISEASE and, THE CHIROPRACTOR sells THE PATIENT DISEASE, when [ 13 ]

THE CHIROPRACTOR should be selling THE PATIENT the when where, how and why to get well from above-down, inside-out. Is it sane judgment to revere God on Sunday and deny the “Kingdom of God is within you” other six days of the week? Is this statement orthodoxy or heterodoxy? If so, why? If it is admitted to be internal—“NATURE cures” how can it medically be denied? WHY is it necessary chiropractors be compelled to reaffirm here and now that which is obvious? Answer is simple! Only because there IS a so-called “scientific” medical profession which calls such a “cult.” If such it be, then so be it!

[ 14 ]

PREFACE The value of any talk is its simplicity as it presents a profound, comprehensive and far-reaching explanation into some unexplored solution of a mystery of living man. Thru years we have presented many phases to our profession. We helped to resolve our chiropractic philosophy, science and art to become simple and practical. We have seen chiropractors become complexed, drifting FROM objectives of getting sick people well, into foreign and unrelated fields. As we study transitions, THEY were drifting AWAY FROM yet SKIRTING AROUND the edges of something hidden and seemingly buried which they couldn’t grasp.

Somewhere THERE WAS one simple principle and practice which the human race needed which could and would complete our innermost knowledge IF WE COULD find that submerged clarification and crystallize it. Whatever IS, can be explained of what is. If what we say IS expressive of basic reality, which none can dispute or deny, it matters not what may be said against it or how some chiropractors cast it lightly to one side, it will live and some day have its rightful place in a better service to mankind. Listening, reading, studying the full import of this presentation WILL NOT be grasped on FIRST thinking. It NEEDS diligent application to gain full understanding, to push back antique horizons, premises SOME do NOT grasp at first. Even WE who review our OWN, see new depths. If this occurs TO US, how much more is it radically NEW to others, awakening greater potentials which till now have remained hidden. One JUST criticism that can be painfully made against this book is, we repeat AND repeat, and keep on repeating the SAME central theme until its repetition becomes boresome. We admit this fault. This NEW LAW OF LIFE we tell IS SO SIMPLE that ONCE SHOULD suffice. It rarely is, therefore the too frequent and [ 15 ]

maddening explanations in different ways, hoping to amplify the SAME principle AND practice in the hopes eventually IT WILL BECOME CLEARER UNTIL IT BECOMES A CONSISTENT WORKING PRACTICE IN OUR PROFESSION to get sick people well. How true, our epigram: “WE NEVER KNOW HOW FAR REACHING SOME THING WE MAY THINK, SAY OR DO, TODAY, WILL AFFECT THE LIVES OF MILLIONS TOMORROW “ We title this book either COMPARABLE ASSEMBLY LINES or PALMER’S LAW OF LIFE [ 16 ]

FROM THE DESK OF CARL HOLMES 70 Pine Street New York 5, N. Y.

MENTAL STIMULATORS By Carl Holmes MASTERS OF OUR FATE Our primitive ancestors were unaware of existing natural laws. They loved and hated, feared and desired. Their days began with fears and uncertainties and ended with doubts and terror. They were to a considerable extent at the mercy of the environment in which they lived.

Primitive man believed he was surrounded by evil spirits and to appease them or to outwit them and get what he wanted, he used magic charms, professional priests and elaborate rituals. None of these could be relied upon and one day memory came to his aid. Something happened and he recalled that this had happened to him before under similar circumstances. Suddenly it came to him that he might reproduce the same effect by setting up the same conditions which had resulted in the previous experience. By experimentation he proved to himself that nothing happens without a cause. For the first time reason told him that all actions have consequences. By examining causes and effects, new worlds were opened up to him. This was how the law of cause and effect was discovered. MAN’S MASTERY BEGINS The discovery of that first law stimulated primitive man to search for other laws which he could use to his advantage. Knowing one law he had reason to believe there were others. The issues of life were no longer entirely in the hands of forces outside himself. Today most of us realize it is usually our fault when we let things happen to us. We know that we live in a world governed by laws and that nothing happens without a cause or a sufficient reason. More and more we have learned all actions have consequences, and causes, effects and consequences are inseparable. [ 17 ]

Everything has a sufficient cause for being what it is—our health, our success and our place in the world in which we live. All of us have a laboratory for conducting our scientific experiments. We can study ourselves, neighbors, fellow-workers and our relationships with others where we are. If we are not satisfied with what we find, we take steps to improve our situation by the elimination of those things which are responsible and by substituting those things which would make our lives more satisfying. SOW WITH HARVEST IN MIND We can’t beat the law of cause and effect. What goes into the past has got to come out of the future. What we sow we must eventually reap. But we can start today to plant seeds of a better life for ourselves. We can never hope to know all laws, nor can we understand all mysteries which govern both body and mind. But we can understand enough to be, to a very great extent, “masters of our fate.” I am convinced by replacing negative, destructive and unwholesome thoughts with constructive, courageous and helpful thoughts, we can improve our health, relationships with others and chances for success and happiness. Control of mind is very often control of causes. Let us open our minds and discipline our thoughts and actions, that we may better understand God’s laws and become more efficient workers and “masters of our fate.” [18 ]

CHAPTER I THE LAW OF INNATE INTELLIGENCE (a) Is Innate Intelligence A PART OF or APART FROM Universal Intelligence? (b) When Innate Intelligence ENTERS a new born babe, where does it COME FROM? When Innate Intelligence LEAVES a mortal body, WHERE does it GO? (c) In his eagerness TO KNOW more about what is OUTSIDE of himself, man ponders, cogitates, meditates, and comes up with answers which satisfy him. In answer to (a)-Who knows? (b)-That depends upon his religious concepts, beliefs, and faiths. It might be to some imaginary upstairs somewhere; or down in some imaginary cellar somewhere, depending upon the status of his educational stipulations of good or bad, right or wrong, moral or immoral conduct. (c)-It enters with that first squeak after it leaves the material body of the mother, when the material body of the babe ceases to be materially DEpendent and becomes a living INDEpendent. Why, AT birth? It might be born “dead,” or it might be “still born,” or maybe a spanking made “life” possible. It is fitting that, in the Wisdom of the Universal Intelligence in creating all abstract INFINITE concepts, principles and practices, that it HAS PLACED many issues BEYOND the reach, direction, domination or control of the fluctuating, variable, and dominant minds of men here below. If this were not so, petty, pecunious, and greedy educational theories of millions of men would run the world ragged. As it is, man is not content to let worlds be; he wants to explore and get beyond them by violating all laws of space. Knowing LITTLE about THE WORLD OF UNEXPLORED POTENTIALS WITHIN HIMSELF, he still wants TO KNOW EVERYTHING about everything BEYOND and OUTSIDE of himself. (With these comments many will disagree. In our endeavors to know truth, we aim to be realistic and factual. Whether we or others be right or wrong, it makes no difference to Universal or Innate Intelligence. They continue the same now as they have for millions of years, in millions of people, BEFORE we are born, [ 19 ]

WHILE we exist here a while, and LONG AFTER Innate takes that long vacation from us.) Our Answers Because Chiropractic makes its interpretations practical and workable, dealing with INNER life force, present, absent, and restored, we often are asked: HOW do YOU recognize Innate presence or absence? WHAT can I DO to encourage Innate contacting ME? HOW can I recognize an Innate “thot-flash”? Answers are difficult to define, confine, understand, or explain relationship between an unknown abstract QUALITY and a concrete known QUANTITY and relationship between them. Innate Intelligence is: a. an abstract quality knowledge of know-how, using both b. it takes raw SUBSTANCES and refines them c. into MATERIAL shapes and forms d. which, when systematized, organized, and co-ordinated, e. assemble them into motion systems, f. completing a totality of a unit; g. passing THRU that unit h. a flow of intelligent power, energy, and/or force i. of ITS OWN manufacture j. impregnates INTO each impulse A PLACE TO GO, k. a quantity, quality, AND KIND of action to perform 1. when it arrives, m. which individual motion, assembled with all other motions, n. exhibits its Infinite know-how o. in what we humble mortals call “life.” Are physical properties OF MATTER all that matters? Is there something beyond and above matter which predetermines life and longevity, quantities and qualities of forms and patterns of matter of LIVING human beings? HAS INNATE SEX? a. Innate produces male AND female, as we think of sex b. both sexes prevail thruout all animal and vegetable forms c. yet IT, as the abstract, is sexless d. because IT, as one, PRODUCES both. IS INNATE DIVISIBLE? a. Is it RELIGIOUSLY the Kingdom of God, IN man? b. Is it FUNCTIONALLY IN man, which makes him tick? c. Is it EDUCATIONALLY what the great mass call “nature”? d. Is it MEDICALLY unknown? e. Is it called a “cult,” if, as, and when accepted? [ 20 ]

f. Is it to “scientific” medicine, g. a cipher with the rim knocked off? h. Is it, in spite of ONE indivisibility, i. artificially split into j. ALL that man THINKS he wants OR needs? k. It comes from WITHIN l. from ABOVE-DOWN, INSIDE-OUT, m. in spite of, not because of n. his arbitrary sub-divisions. o. Is it ALL that which man THINKS he wants or needs, p. empirically leaping directly to A RELIGIOUS concept, q. to the Great Unknown somewhere ABOVE? (We do not belittle, disparage, or deny any or all processes of adoration. We merely state the reality.) HOW BROAD IS INNATE? a. Innate possesses the GREAT ACCUMULATED KNOWLEDGE. b. Average person doesn’t know c. whether this is or is not so. d. To a few, there is an open door, e. a sesame of understanding. f. To the multitudes, they are deaf, dumb, and blind to its reality. g. To the masses, there is a closed and locked door between. h. Some let Innate CONTACT THEM i. most skip to their super-educations j. by-passing this Innate immaterial intermediate, k. reaching somewhere, some way, up to some unknown, 1. something UP THERE m. for the power of the Great I AM that I AM n. to substitute and provide favors he pleads for o. when all HE WANTS AND NEEDS IS WITHIN him. Is Sleep Necessary? At night, when education is blanked out, body is at rest. Sleep is induced and produced when Innate withdraws ALL activities of education, mentally and physically. In sleep, educated MUST BE absent, non compos mentis. Innate, however, NEVER sleeps. It is alert, awake, at work, 24 hours a day, 60 minutes to the hour and 60 seconds per minute, from moment of birth to moment of death. Were it otherwise, we die! Innate hears alarm clock and awakens education. Innate hears baby cry for its dejeuner. Innate smells smoke and awakens education to put out fire. [ 21 ]

100 per cent COMPLETE NATURAL sleep accomplishes FAR MORE internal constructive work than a 50 per cent sleep and 50 per cent awake mixture. Artificial DRUG-FORCED-SLEEP paralysis does not substitute or make possible NATURAL sleep because Innate is forced to divert and side-track forces to oppose effects of the drug. If educated is PARTLY ASLEEP and PARTLY AWAKE, there is a distorted interference disturbance flow BETWEEN Innate AND educated—exaggerated dreams result. With 100 per cent NATURAL sleep, Innate concentrates 100 per cent of focalized recuperative, reconstructive, rebuilding forces to INTERNAL physical necessities IT ALONE knows where, when, and how much. When “tired” we “lie down to rest.” “Rest” and relaxation are equivalent terms. Three to four hours of complete natural relaxation, even to sleeping, ARE important following a Chiropractic adjustment. This permits Innate to focalize muscular contractions TO SET AND RESEAT minute micrometer relations of a subluxation beyond the ken of education, even a Chiropractor. Many people go to bed WITH a headache and wake up WITHOUT it. That’s partially what occurs. Want to Let Innate Contact You? It is when education is more nearly or totally blanked out that Innate gets in “thot flashes,” because education is less liable to argue, debate, or deny them. (That’s why WE have pad and pencil by our bedside.) The yogis of India have the RIGHT principle, mentally. The sincere yogi would make an excellent Chiropractor for getting sick well IF he had knowledge and ability to correct the intermediary adjustment to restore power of internal Innate, to perfect greater understandings. Yogis assume what is, to each, the most RELAXED posture, which they assume for hours or days. In this way, THEY attain the peace and poise of plenty, and become “In Tune With the Infinite” (Sheldon). The yogi endeavors to induce a semi sleep, by prolonged relaxation posture. Mahatma (teacher) Ghandi used this principle when he taught his people how to overcome their errors in breaking down 8,000 inconsistent castes including “untouchables.” He was a simple man, with simple ways, thereby developing a great evolution. [ 22 ]

(We are not advocating that chiropractors become yogis, altho there IS a certain group in our ranks who need yogiism to overcome ITS educated conflicts. We fear, however, they might even prostitute the purity of yoga. There are honest as well as dishonest yogis who peddle false philosophies, the same as some of our people peddle dangerous techniques, to grab dollars.) INNATE REACHES OUT a. over into the finite b. mind of educated man, c. in what education crudely calls d. intuitions, hunches, instincts, inspirations e. which we prefer to call “thot flashes” FROM Innate f. which sneak up on our educated blind side g. slip in what THEY want YOU to know or do h. which THEY hope you will accept, grasp, heed and do. i. They come as “thot-flash” ideas, desires, intentions, j. from a source above and beyond YOU k. to help and encourage you 1. to be greater than education realizes. INNATE MEMORIZES a. receives, tabulates, file-indexes, and stores away b. for future reference, recollection, and distribution, c. EVERY impression and interpretation d. it EVER has received e. in all preceding existences f. including OUR present one. g. Its resources are exhaustless and endless; h. its powers to think, act, and do are boundless i. in times of great emergencies j. in times of sickness and restoration of health. k. It shapes destinies of a blade of grass 1. man and woman m. and the universe, n. thru aeons of time, space, and transformations of matter o. otherwise you and we would not, could not be. INNATE FLOWS DOWN a. comes TO education b. if, as, and when education c. admits its inferiority, d. admits Innate’s superiority, e. humbles itself by comparison f. as Innate deems education NEEDS direction, g. heeding ITS “thot flashes” when they come [ 23 ]

h. as they come. i. Education needs be receptive, not repulsive j. to its approaches. (That is why and how the greater the all-encompassing understanding of man is, in his relation to greater things, the more humble he becomes.) INNATE IS SUFFICIENT a. needs no instruction from education; b. rejects interference, if such it be c. abhors and ignores being told what, when and how to do. d. Educational pleadings bolster education only by egotistic affirmation. e. Educational pleadings do not change the master plan f. which thinks, acts, and does to all alike, regardless of g. creed, sect, denomination, country, or color. h. It is in common to all peoples of the world, everywhere. i. THAT evidence is plain IF j. we reason factually and logically on facts and evidence. k. It does not discriminate between peoples l. in geography, color, faith, sex; m. contrary to educational high and endless walls. n. It produces functions common to all alike, o. reproduces male and female common to all alike. INNATE REGULATES ALL a. It is that abstract, intangible, unseen b. perfect, immaculate, infinite and infallible c. regulatory factor all times, all ways. d. As such, IT cannot be interfered with, e. does not exist by virtue of any spoken language; f. neither does it listen to the multiple babble of voices g. asking for multiple contradictions. h. However, its semi-materialistic product i. (which it alone can and does produce) j. such as electricity in space or k. mental impulse or nerve force in humans l. CAN BE interfered with m. when IN AND FLOWING THRU material structures, n. such as in and thru wires or motors, or o. mental impulse thru nerves, because of p. vertebral subluxations in man; q. therefore, ALL functional perversions r. become unnatural, abnormal [ 24 ]

s. because of a middle MATERIAL intermediary, t. the immaterial being diminished in matter only u. BETWEEN source and non-source v. in and thru which it exhibits w. its intents and purposes for existence as life. Innate vs. Educated Education establishes endless complicated and complex, verbal, written, and printed rules and regulations, rituals and credos we call “laws,” which are but opinions of many men and women. After much discussion, giving and taking, compromising and alternating, cutting and fitting to please the great mass of the unwashed, in which they almost totally ignore the Universal and Unital Sources, it results in complicated and complex theories, confused rituals, ceremonies of the multiplicity opinions eventually cut to fit man as MAN wants him to be. Instead of Innate being educationally more man-like, man should be more Innate-like. In spite of all misfitting, Innate Intelligence consistently follows ITS OWN WAYS and productions in spite of all men, not because of them. Regardless of man’s educations to the contrary, educations for educations’ sake are demanded and commanded, the man himself, as is, is proof of the overpowering influence of Innate within him. Education exists for education’s sake, hoping to produce more of its educated conclusions and desires into reshaping man, which continues to make mistakes by ignoring Innate which produced him. (If these remarks appear unreasonable, harsh, caustic, and critical of “education” per se, it is not because we condemn ALL education. We only question the value of millions of educated mistakes and blunders medical men have made for centuries and are continuing to make when they deny and frustrate internal workings of Innate Intelligence by trying to permit MEDICAL EDUCATIONS to reshape Innate’s productions to meet his caprices in trying to shape man to meet his concepts.) (If medical men become unreasonable, harsh, caustic, and critical of OUR remarks, it is because we have a greater, more practical and workable knowledge of Innate Intelligence in ALL human beings, which WE permit to do ITS WORK, ITS OWN WAY, when IT IS FREE to do so—which CHIROPRACTIC makes possible. ) If we were able to bequeath one virtue to every Chiropractor, we would give him the joys of Innate, for without it the world would stand still. The Innate man, hard to satisfy, moves forward. Educated man satisfied with what he has done, moves backward. [ 25 ]

CHAPTER II THE PAST, PRESENT AND IMMEDIATE FUTURE Fear not those who are able to destroy your body, but those who can destroy Innate and its body. Emphasis is placed on the Innate of man, THAT BEING THE REALITY; the mental and physical being temporary. Fear those who by usurped power have the means to destroy man’s reason, thereby making of man an unreasoning being, a robot or zombi, preventing him from fulfilling his Divine destiny by making Innate awakening impossible. An unknown author made the statement that “The purpose of a book is to make people think.” THE MISSION OF A BOOK IS TO MAKE PEOPLE THINK, REASON, ANALYZE AND ACT accordingly. This presentation has in mind to offer information which, if followed, will be of importance to themselves and humanity, who will herein find means of saving themselves and others from unspeakable horrors planned for them. These horrors are almost beyond description and wholly incomprehensible to the average sane mind. By frank admission of their advocates they are becoming general in the world. A form of character assassination has become so general that when an intelligent, sincere, honest, reasoning non-conformist writes a book such as this about some “incomprehensible and unreasonable behavior or action,” it is usually coupled with personal vilification, with the reaction “he has a bone to pick.” Those who are laboring for the welfare of humanity are no longer considered of importance unless they are chastised and plagued by mental assassination. In spite of prejudicial condemnation, if the one criticised discovers, develops A LAW, no amount of unjust and severe censure can or will offset the far reaching good his law is to mankind. The Poet of The Sierras, living in his cottage in the mountains had visitors. After looking over his home, and finding no library, they asked where it was. His reply was: “Books are written for people who want to know. I WRITE THEM.” [ 26 ]

CHAPTER III THE LAW OF NON-CONFORMITY This talk will give you SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT—NOT SOMETHING TO FIGHT ABOUT. Chiropractic was conceived by my father and developed by me, for one ultimate unselfish life BUYING objective for the sick and the unselfish health SELLING objective of the chiropractor—TO GET SICK PEOPLE WELL. This WAS the obligation of my father. It has been our inherited obligation we owe a sick human race. FUTURE rights of the sick to get well are still vital. Our profession has suffered from legal barriers of medical tyrants. Each of us has suffered under those yokes. Should WE NOW become tyrants by building legal technicalities to prevent sick people from getting chiropractic by chiropractors? Often THE WORST tyrants TODAY come from those who suffered most from tyranny yesterday.

It’s a sad commentary, the majority of people, including a percentage of chiropractors, prefer to be conformists to what is acceptable to the great mass. There exists fear of being a nonconformist. Strong individuals are progressive and break from unproven theories. History was and is made by non-conformists regardless of fields they broke loose from. History is replete with names who broke virgin territory. “Go West young man and grow up with the country.” Majority of people are weak, insipid, taking paths of least resistance. Chiropractic is as of today a modern nonconformist principle and practice. Some of our people try to stagnate it into educational and legislative conformist grooves, hobble it with crutches, seeking external braces as a stabilizing substitute. There are those amongst us who live outside the main stream of contemporary life. They are not eccentric, rebellious, maladjusted or unsuccessful. Some hidden umbilical cord attached them [ 27 ]

to characteristic new paths in which the mind and its virtues play the larger role. They feed themselves with facts. They seek truth. They are tired of the endless struggle of failure. If one departs too far from the norm, he is thot to be of questionable wisdom. If one conforms too rigidly, one can’t express new ideas courageously. It’s one of the prices you pay, either way. A modern intellectual is specifically human, has an interest in the rational mind and an ability to use it. As such, he is the most important the human race can produce. Most people are parasites living luxuriously on work produced by a handful of superior non-conformist minds. This is in part true of our profession. This subject is applicable to our profession! Anacin is advertised. What is said is believed; people buy, take, thinking that is “the accepted thing to do,” to conform to the dictates of society. Whether good or bad, helpful or injurious, sick people don’t know. “The physician says,” therefore follow his instructions. Sick people are conformists. They don’t think or know different except thru bitter and costly experience. Chiropractors are people. Being human, they keep their ear to the ground, listen to aches and pains, what the sick WANT. Some play down to the grunts, groans and whims of patients. Sick people WANT vitamins, so the chiropractor sells them. Patients suffer, so the “chiropractor” (?) advises them to DO this, TAKE that. It’s the path of least resistance and the shortest end to getting patients in and out of his office. Some “chiropractors” (?) are weak, sometimes are two of a kind, like two peas in the same pod. The chiropractor SHOULD BE a breaking plow, LEAD, not FOLLOW, get out of medical ruts, explain to his clientele what chiropractic can do medicine cannot do. SOME “chiropractors” (?) don’t know much more chiropractic than some patients. How CAN one explain what HE doesn’t know? Leaders in any new movement, regardless of how good, are few and far between. We have some in OUR ranks who think the way to lead the horse is to hang onto his tail and push. Sick people go to a “Chiropractor” (sign on the door) hoping he HAS some NEW principle AND practice which WILL DO what methods OF MEDICINE HAVE FAILED to do. Often the patient finds little difference between a “Chiropractor’s” (?) office and medical man’s. Bottles of this and that, treating devices galore, medical things tried by the patient and discarded as failures. To give these, is the easiest way out—for the “Chiropractor” (?)—and the most expensive duplication of failure for the patient. It behooves sick people to be discriminating. If you see and get same [ 28 ]

methods given by medical men—walk out, refuse to waste time and money. You MAY have to search, but seek LONG enuf and HARD enuf, here and there, you WILL FIND A THOROLY INDOCTRINATED CHIROPRACTOR WORTHY OF ITS NAME AND HIS REPUTATION GETTING YOU WELL. In the chiropractic profession THERE IS ONE BASIC PRINCIPLE, a common denominator, propounded by D. D. Palmer, the discoverer, which most chiropractors talk about and advertise. In this respect, the profession is in universal conformity. There are, however, endless variables and diversions IN WHAT THEY PRACTICE, all deviations being denied and denounced by D. D. Palmer. Many reject the conformity of CHIROPRACTIC PRACTICE, and accept and indulge in failure medical treatment methods all of which are in non-conformity with chiropractic.

[ 29 ]

CHAPTER IV THE LAW OF EVIDENCE EVIDENCE convinces understanding with logic, reason, fact, proof of the reality of issues. EVIDENCE is simple because it is obvious.

From the moment of birth of consciousness EVIDENCE is present. The child senses, which is EVIDENCE of sense such as seeing, hearing, feeling, tasting and smelling. There is consciousness of movement, EVIDENCE of muscular control, direction, purpose and intent upon which all is predicated. The body heats and cools itself, EVIDENCE of fact of which knowledge is hardly aware. The living body drinks, eats, nourishes; urinates and defecates. This too is EVIDENCE of LIVING action. This, and much more, takes place WITHIN that living body. EVIDENCE of all this, and more, is ALWAYS present from birth to the passing of consciousness of thot EVIDENCE to the GREAT UNKNOWN JOURNEY. One look at any LIVING person into a mirror presents myriads of EVIDENCE for years of study—of what? Life! This EVIDENCE is always WITHIN the individual. When then does the individual ignore ever-present EVIDENCE flowing from WITHIN OUTWARD? EVIDENCE of an answer is evident. Artificial education plastered and pilastered on, layer upon layer FROM WITHOUT, in schools, kindergartens to universities, has master-minded an illogical environmental infiltration. As a substitute it has minimized the INNER world of EVIDENCE and maximized the OUTER world of artificialities. The inner from above-down inside-out has been broken down to give way to the outer, notwithstanding the outer is the product of the inner. INTERNAL SOURCE is eminently qualified TO GIVE. We are educationally disqualified FROM RECEIVING. Reason presents EVIDENCE of why. There is an educational mental block, accidentally received thru a vertebral subluxation between above[ 30 ]

down inside-out which all suffer with and from, more or less. We try to treat blocked effects by bolstering them with a superabundance of artificial education from outside-in below-upward which side-tracks and stifles the normal coming thru.

As a student of living, we want to know PRODUCER as well as product. In architecture, we study anatomy of great cathedrals, fine buildings, great bridges. We want to know intimately foundations, super-structures, contents of each section, uses for each part, what each was designed to do, how and why each part coordinated with every other and all parts. We want to know wiring plans, mechanical equipment—all this to knowing THE MIND of the architect and builder. What greater EVIDENCE than architectural man? There are only 310 mechanical principles and movements on which every movable patent is based. All are found in man. Man OUTSIDE has conceived nothing new but what is IN MAN. EVIDENCE of everything mechanical has been invented, tried, tested, developed IN MAN. The Innate builder of and in living man is still the great unknowable discovery.

To study any product is to know type of producer it had. To know producer’s intellect is to know his product. To study EVIDENCE of man is to understand intellect which produced him. When one sees Ford assembly line he sees the lengthened shadow of Henry Ford. As Herb Hender once said, after visiting our winter home at Sarasota (Florida), “If I didn’t KNOW who lives here, I WOULD know who lives here,” meaning that as the owner, so his home, which is HIS lengthened shadow. EVIDENCE of man’s outer educated contact with his inner Innate; or, EVIDENCE there IS contact between his inner Innate and his outer education, is of such common occurrence that it is

ignored. This inter-relationship is silent, subtle, but a whisper even tho usually unknown. We are circumscribed and enveloped with EVIDENCE, yet [ 31 ]

we can’t see the forest for trees. We are like babes lost in woods we have no compass or steering wheel to tell us where and how to get out of the maze. North Star shines brightly but educated mental haze between us and it blinds our horizons. We look and see not; have ears and hear not; we have a brain and do not understand, yet EVIDENCE is plain and hammers inside-out for understanding. It whispers and because it doesn’t shout, scream and yell we do not receive it. EVIDENCE to the idealist is a reality; to the theorist a night-mare.

WHY does “education,” per se, such as it is believed to be, take precedence over EVIDENCE to the contrary and thus belittle the vast depths of EVIDENCE unfolded and constantly IN EVIDENCE WITHIN himself? If HE KNEW HOW to let that exhaustless reservoir of EVIDENCE buried down deep inside, come outside, he could and would convince himself how valuable the unseen world within was and is, and how petty “education” is by comparison. The FINITE educated mind seeks more education from as many other finite minds as it can contact and store away, what they receive also from the outside, for present and future environmental needs. The FINITE mind becomes obscured, blinded and congealed as regards the existence of a greater intelligence within because the finite cannot tap this EVIDENCE of an infinite mind within, even tho the infinite mind is always present which is constantly and insistently trying to tap the finite educated mind. This greater infinite mind is in constant communication with every tissue cell, organ, and part of this living body, every second, awake or asleep, between birth and death. This is obvious in life and absent AS EVIDENCE in death. This too IS EVIDENCE. That which develops the human race and each unit in it, certainly demands intensified study and understanding. Education could not build and make live ONE tissue cell; yet, there is THAT [ 32 ]

SOMETHING WITHIN which builds billions, organizes them, formulates organs and systems of them, starts them running and keeps them consistently coordinating for 3 score and 10, regardless of what educations think. Such inner intelligence is worthy of deepest concern. EVIDENCE of such is before us and with us at all times in all ways. Should it be ignored? The simplicity of observation of what EVIDENCE is, is what apparently deceives the complexed student into denying the reality of what he thinks. He knows he lives, sees and hears—process of existence baffles him if he tries to develop rational interpretation of the process. He studies the “prodigy,” the “genius.” Why do THEY excel along certain lines over the vast majority? Where do THEY get special talents? Is there something all can do to attain the same qualifications and duplicate such arts? We know all men and women are created alike, a common pattern, therefore the mental patternmaker in all is alike. As the product, so the producer. In and behind our common race is a common intelligence which conceives, develops, gives birth and directs all functions alike once they become separate units. That common source is alike in all—that IS EVIDENCE we should educationally fathom. Then, where lies this discriminatory feature that sets ONE out prominently and subdues another into a background? Ask these individuals “How do you do WHAT you do, AS you do it?” Answer is simple. “I don’t know. It just comes.” The same common internal source to all, thot-flashes ideas to one below who accepts them, acts upon them, yields to their intents and desires; the other seeks and does not understand. Each has same thot-flashes if he will listen to that wee-sma’ voice in the same way. It might be music, painting, poetry, new inven-

[33]

tions; in fact, such thot-flashes encompass everything every person has conceived and portrayed. He recognizes EVIDENCE of external contact in another, why not in himself? EVIDENCE of WHY and HOW one succeeds, the other fails, is that he has been “educated” to question, deny, debate, argue, challenge the subtle when they flash thru from within into his “education” in his outer stages of thinking. “Genius” as we dub it, is nothing more or less than the individual who listens, accepts without question and permits development of a superior knowledge FROM WITHIN to flow freely WITHOUT questioning that which flows freely from ABOVE-DOWN WITHIN-OUT—That’s why genius IS genius. He has learned to respect those subterranean thot-flashes thereby keeping pathways open and receptive. If he wakes in the night with “an idea,” he captures it then and there, doing the thing, whatever it is, when it is coming. Most would loll over and go back to sleep and forget it. Genius IS genius because they have and utilize that peculiar faculty of absorbing from a source greater than they know, the inherent capacities of receiving and using those “inspirations, aspirations and perspirations” that come so freely from within out, refusing to reject them from within-out.

The great mass, regardless of how well “educated” from without-in, lock all doors between source and semi-source, batten down hatches, tightly bolt all windows, bury the keys and deliberately forget where they buried them. To do otherwise is to be called “an odd person.” Rather than be held up to ridicule, they prefer to run with the mob rather than stand out as unusual individuals, doing unusual things unusual ways, and paying the price which all such must do. The ability of seeing these qualities in others, is best EVIDENCE recognized as possessing the same qualities in self. Too often we look for “genius” in far distant countries. Seldom do we see it in our next door neighbor. As is well known, we have Radio Station WOC at Davenport, Iowa. The “wild visionary and mad raving” we had years ago

[ 34 ]

when it was “a kid’s toy” was one of OUR flash thots. That idea, which came as “inspiration” had the broad concept that some day in the future “we would be able to bring the world of voice and colored picture into your homes.” It HAS become a reality. Years ago we had on our station a simple, plain, every-day young girl—Marjorie Meinert. She possessed the “education” of a small-town country girl, nothing unusual, quite usual. She could strum tunes on a piano. It seemed to flow freely without effort. From piano to Hammond and Wurlitzer organs, to pipe organ in our home. She composed and wrote new and original compositions. We encouraged her evolving development. On many occasions we had guests in our home, anywhere from 10 to 150 people. We invited “Our Little Margie” to play. We have known her to play request numbers, ranging from melodies to classics, for 3 hours without a note of music. She outgrew the station. Wurlitzer people placed her under contract to travel from coast to coast, border to border, putting on concerts before America’s greatest musical organizations and artists. Soloist for the Boston Symphony, Buffalo Symphony, Arthur Godfrey, Lawrence Welk TV shows, etc. Her albums are on music stands. She literally was “a musical genius.” Now 14 years later, same master of her inner free flow and glow of musical mastery. Where did it all come from? It was IN and she permitted it to come OUT. When asked “how come” she was unable to explain, and, why should she? It was! Possessing same qualities in ourselves in OUR work, we recognized it in her. She “found herself” even as we “found ourself.” She has played every day at our Annual Lyceums for years. Her name is now household to our profession as well as the musical world. Unspoiled with praise of masters. Her love for her “Papa BJ” is the same today as it was yesterday. At the 1957 Lyceum, we presented her with a bronze plaque, on which we said: “During your 12 years with us at Station WOC, AM-FM-TV, we have seen you rise from a girl to a woman, from a novice at the piano to an organ artist, until today you are recognized as an outstanding musical genius, traveling from coast to coast, border to border, entertaining many thousands, commingling with the great and near-great in your profession. “With all this glory and tribute paid you everywhere, you are still, and always will be, the sweet, kindly and thoughtful girl as we knew you 12 years ago. Fame has not changed your modest and sweet self, nor has your rise from obscurity to earned fame unbalanced your humbleness, and it never will. [ 35 ]

“With gratitude, and admiration for a life of service to better music and an inspiration to all musicians and for your many outstanding contributions to the advancement of harmony to the human race, we present this plaque with our unstinted blessings as you climb to greater glories, which you so richly deserve. “No greater tribute could we pay you than this. B. J. Palmer, President.” Some people recognize this self-same EVIDENCE WITHIN themselves knowingly and develop it. Others see some EVIDENCE cropping out and don’t know how, why or where it comes from. In some, this EVIDENCE “just comes” and they let it without plausible explanations. Others feel it and suppress it, calling it foolish. Others are “ignorant” of possessing such and refuse to recognize it in themselves. Some go so far as to realize that THE LAW OF EVIDENCE IS EVIDENCE of an internal law, knowing it is IN every one all the time, that it is not a special dispensation to a special characters, that it beckons for entrance constantly. Recognition of an INNER superiority of a greater intelligence broader, deeper and longer than our accumulated educations pumped into us from without, between birth and death, does not go beyond the bounds of superficial explainable EVIDENCE. Such recognition, however, does not warrant our acceptance of the theories of mediumistic spiritualism of the return to us of dead personalities of previous persons, bringing us “messages” from beyond the River Jordan at so much per around a circle under dimmed lights. [ 36 ]

CHAPTER V THE LAW APPLIED At The ICA Symposium, Mid-Year Meeting, Atlanta, Georgia, February 11-16, ’58, there were amendments proposed to the Chiropractic Practice Act, designed to: (a) limiting chiropractors to practice chiropractic. (b) preventing chiropractors (?) from practicing any or “all branches of the healing arts, as part and parcel of the scope of chiropractic practice.” Convinced that chiropractic has been, is and should continue within the confines of PALMER’S LAW OF LIFE, which makes a distinction between chiropractic AND medicine, as follows: (c) chiropractic, in principle and practice, relies on the abovedown, inside-out, abstract, internal, interference CAUSE of dis-ease (d) chiropractic relies, in principle and practice, on the abovedown, inside-out, abstract, internal restoration CURE of dis-ease (e) medicine, in principle and practice, relies on the outside-in, below-upward, PHYSICAL, EXTERNAL cause of disease (f) medicine, in principle and practice, relies on the outside-in, below-upward PHYSICAL EXTERNAL cure of dis-ease therefore, to be consistent, our theme is: (g) any chiropractor who prescribes any form of external medical therapy to patients for the purpose of externally curing disease, IS practicing medicine. A State Senator, in rebuttal, said: “Today, any person can buy vitamins, anacin and any and all kinds of drugs and other forms of treatments in any drug store, saloon, grocery store, anywhere. They are common property and belong to no particular profession.” Our rebuttal was: “Any chiropractor who PRESCRIBES vitamins, anacin and all kinds of drugs and other forms of treatments from outside-in, [ 37 ]

below-upward, from external TO internal, for the cure of any disease, to patients, as a continuing action consistently, more or less, day after day, for a fee, IS practicing medicine, the same as M.D.’s do.” Addressing himself directly to me, BEFORE adjournment, the Chairman, a physician Senator, said “If I had to do it over again, I would have come to your school and studied under you because you are a great salesman and psychologist.” This was intended to be and was accepted as a compliment. After our group left, a vote was taken of the 9 committee-men. It was 4-4, deciding vote cast by the Chairman. Five FOR the amendments, 4 opposed. Five FOR were ALL physicians. Our presentation was so obvious, which WE wonted, which THEY wanted, viz: to protect chiropractic from stealing medicine and medical men wanted to protect medicine from being stolen by chiropractors. Our presentation was professionally, legislatively and legally sound for BOTH professions. [ 38 ]

CHAPTER VI THE LAW OF COMPENSATION Attending the mid-year ICA Symposium, Atlanta, Georgia, Feb. 1958, we ran into a complex series of inconsistencies of dual professional thinking. Georgia, like some States, has two antipodal groups of chiropractors and “chiropractors,” those who are within bounds and outof-bounds in adjusting vertebral subluxations to get sick people well; some who take the path of least resistance in attempting to absorb medical theories from outside-in, below-upward treatments of diseases; and, that group who follow the consistent above-down, inside-out honest adjustment of vertebral subluxations.

The contrary group introduced a “higher (?) education” (?) amendment to the Chiropractic Practice Act, thinking to pilaster unnecessary class room time which does NOT add value but does dilute practical work necessary to get sick people well. The consistent group were told that “if an amendment was introduced by your group, our ‘higher (?) educational bill WOULD BE withdrawn’.” Our consistent amendment WAS introduced last ten days of the Georgia Legislature. This amendment restricted the contrary group, confining their professional work to the above-down, inside-out principle and practice. It came to a hearing before the Senate Health Committee consisting of nine members, five M.D.’s and four lay-people. We were asked to appear before this Committee to support and endorse our consistent amendment. Supporting the amendment, we said “Chiropractors should be restricted to that which WAS their prior arts rights as vertebral specialists, confining their work exclusively TO adjusting vertebral subluxations. Chiropractors had NO prior arts rights to invade ANY principles or practices of medical methods of treating diseases from outside-in, below-upward.” We took about 8 minutes to present our support to the amendment. [ 39 ]

During the hearing, one chiropractor denied the purpose of our amendment. After the hearing adjourned, this chiropractor told us: “I am a Lincoln College graduate. While there I was taught to hate you, but I want you to know I RESPECT YOU.” We told him that was what we had a right to expect. We would prefer to have his PROFESSIONAL RESPECT for having developed CHIROPRACTIC, with which he was delivering a service getting sick people well, WITHOUT his love based on distorted passions and prejudices not true, than to have his PERSONAL LOVE WITH his professional respect. If we have earned the right to have BOTH respect AND LOVE, we will not object. During the hearing, one outside State Senator, opposing the amendment, said: “Vitamins are common property of anybody. They can be bought anywhere, in drug stores, grocery stores, department stores, and chiropractors have as much right to buy and sell them, prescribe them to patients, as people have a right to buy them and use them themselves. No State or Court had ever interpreted them as the practice of medicine.” We spoke up and said “That statement is NOT true.” The chairman motioned us to silence. Later he asked if we wished to comment. We said: “Tennessee, South Carolina, Florida, Texas, and your own State of Georgia had revoked Physiotherapy or Naturopathic Acts and canceled licenses as the practice of medicine. Texas Supreme Court declared all such methods were the practice of medicine. Later the U.S. Supreme Court refused to review the Texas Supreme Court. In Texas 40 “chiropractors” (?), with chiropractic licenses, practicing physiotherapy or naturopathic methods, were arrested for practicing medicine without a license, and 400 more were to be arrested on the same charges.” We further said: “Any chiropractor, practicing chiropractic, under a chiropractic license, repeatedly prescribing vitamins to patients for the outside-in, below-upward alleviation or cure of disease, for a fee, IS practicing medicine, and such had been declared by many courts.” After adjournment, all five physicians on that Committee voted for and supported our amendment, agreeing with our presentation of the necessity of keeping two opposing professions separate and distinct from each other. The next day, by invitation, accompanied by The ICA Good Posture Queen, we were invited to address the Senate and House in session, which we did. This was the first time such an honor had been accorded us. After addressing the Senate and House, we were escorted to the lobby by Dr. Edge, M.D., of the Senate Health Committee. [ 40 ]

In the ante-room, he told us this interesting story. “I have known you for many years. Years ago you conducted a long series of travel talks over your Radio Station WOC. I listened to every one with rapt attention. It was then I learned to respect you for your courage, honesty, frankness in discussing problems you studied in foreign countries. Because of complete understanding of your sincerity of purpose, I knew when you were to appear before our Committee exactly HOW you would present your subject and WHY you would do so.” We asked Doctor Edge if he would like to have copies of our two books on travel—AROUND THE WORLD WITH B. J. and UPSIDE DOWN AND RIGHT SIDE UP. He said he would. They were sent to his home town. On March 5th, in a letter of acknowledgment, he said “Your philosophy that every person stick only to the line he is qualified to perform, impressed me most favorably.” We have said many times, if Chiropractors would confine their practice to chiropractic and leave medicine alone, they would win RESPECT of the medical profession even tho they violently disagreed with us in WHAT WE believed and practiced. Action of this Committee of five physicians who supported our amendment, and letter quoted, are proof of that statement. Our amendment, introduced only 10 days before adjournment, too little, too late, got no further than the Health Committee because of the lateness of its introduction. We repeat: after these many years, after delivering that series of travel talks over Radio WOC, we were to again see the truth of our oft-repeated epigram: “We never know how far reaching some thing we may think, say or do, today, will affect the lives of millions tomorrow.” [ 41 ]

CHAPTER VII THE LAW OF SOURCE The initial and primary source of human intellectual mental impulse supply, in brain, is unlimited, exhaustless and dependable from birth to death. It is ready to supply normal quantity at all times, even under all abnormal dis-eased conditions. This Innate intellectual reservoir of power can fulfill all demands of the entire assembly line, 24 hours a day, regardless of sickness, IF it can get thru accidental and traumatic obstructions between IT, via nerves, to muscles, to organs. If nerves ARE impinged, interfered with BETWEEN brain and any organ, normal flow of mental impulse power supply IS REDUCED, muscles GET LESS, organ RECEIVES LESS, organic product IS REDUCED, entire assembly line is more or less unbalanced for need of particular products now diminished. Reversing the process REDUCES dis-ease and INCREASES EASE. When Innate Intelligence reaches final conclusion that human assembly line is no longer capable of and does not fulfill its potential destinies in living processes, and the body is no longer a competent habitation thru which to function life’s ultimate objective, power is cut off, and Innate takes a prolonged vacation— called death. Odd, isn’t it, when something unknown, unexplainable, accidentally happens in a recovery of health, it is called a “miracle”? The M.D. looks into a mirror, sees himself and calmly accepts the internal inevitable what Innate Intelligence made of him out of two small sex seeds. Coming to, flowing into and thru the human brain is a constant superior consciousness all sufficient to human as well as environmental universal needs. In building the human body, this intelligence originated its PATHS of direct conductivity FROM brain TO all tissue cells, thru which flows from above-down, inside-out A CONTINUITY of power, force or energy, both efferent TO body and afferent FROM body back to brain. This intelligent power directs its flow to ALL muscular vehicles, PROPERLY located, PROPERLY designed, in PROPER quantities to meet every normal human exigency and adaptation to internal and external needs. It discards useless waste materials making all parts into one fin[ 42 ]

ished product—LIFE. Each organ produces its individualistic product for which the human assembly line was conceived, developed, given birth and continues manifestations until death separates intelligent power from static matter. [ 43 ]

CHAPTER VIII THE LAW OF ENERGY The vertebrata, quadrupeds and bipeds, including man, consist of physical organs, bones, muscles, viscera, glands, brain, nervous system, tissue cells as well as an abstract flow of energy into it, thru it, and out of it. —ORGANS are composed of tissue cells —TISSUE CELLS are made of molecules —MOLECULES are reducible to atoms —ATOMS break down into electrons and protons —which generates ELECTRONS —which IS energy —when released, is capable of producing motion in crude matter —NEUTRON and PROTON are NEGATIVE factors —ELECTRON is POSITIVE factor —energy IS BOTH POSITIVE and NEGATIVE. Man has been made able to take raw matter and squeeze out of its basic physics elements and compress them into concentrated workable energy. Can THIS explanation be ALL there is when comparably applied to human LIFE as THE source of ALL HIS ENERGY? If THIS break-down explanation of crude matter be premised AS SOURCE, then each human TISSUE CELL COULD BE AN INDEPENDENT UNIT WITHIN ITSELF. Has IT independent function apart from other associations within the human body? Does it, or does it not, have relations with all neighbors from top to toe in an intellectual coordinated purpose? Edison’s use of the Law of Ohm applies to static, immobile matter, depending on whether EXTERNAL electrical physical source of energy, or when man intervenes and breaks down those physical flows of energies. The Law of Ohm could not apply as a source of energy IN man because he is an independent locomobile, automobile, autonomous, self-contained INTERNAL generating brain power plant sufficiently competent to carry the full living normal load, therefore is independent except for fluid and solid foods, air, etc., after which reproductive generation is complete without external artificial aid. The relation between horse-power, electricity and watts, is [ 44 ]

determined by multiplying volts and amperes of electrical current, a 110 volt current of one ampere would equal 100 watts. Electrical current is generally measured by kilowatt hours, the equal of 1,000 watt hours. One horse-power requires 746 watts. It represents force needed to lift 33,000 pounds one foot, in one minute. Should the explanation of PHYSICAL science be sound if applied to living human beings, how could each human individual tissue cell expressing power be concentrated IN THE HUMAN BRAIN, converging ALL at this one superior centralized place and from there be directed by INNATE INTELLIGENCE to all the body where, when, how and why needed? That vertebral subluxation DOES INTERFERE WITH ANY AND ALL INFERIOR FUNCTIONS between brain and body, is provable with evidence based on millions of cases of restored function, getting well following adjustment of that vertebral subluxation between brain and body, proving one over-all general manager. If there are individualistic tissue cell sources of energy, how is the ALL IMPORTANT INTELLIGENCE FACTOR which controls, directs, governs, distributes, provides and senses all its parts, to perform a perfect distribution to ALL PARTS of the body via the nervous system? Does Innate Intelligence manufacture mechanically and chemically formulated electrons, concentrate them in the brain, from where they are directed into function in all the body below?

Unsolved problems still baffle philosophers and scientists. Where and how does ENERGY come into human bodies? Does materialistic physical sciences, dealing with crude matter, reveal or substitute THE SOURCE of energy as applied to man? Is there a different explanation between: (a) earthly stationary forms, such as rocks (b) immovable, stationary, INTERNAL growing, depending upon EXTERNAL heat [ 45 ]

(c) animal forms, movable, INTERNAL growing, depending upon INTERNAL heat, such as vertebrata, including man? Are there fundamental basic differences between these two which necessitates different LAWS for being WHAT they are, AS they are? Do materialistic laws of physics, applied to crude matter, apply with equal value to living humans? Is there some NEW BASIC LAW necessary to take man out of crude matter into living, thinking, sensing flesh? Living man is a complicated compilation, consistently assembled, having internal mechanical and chemical, self-sustaining actions and by-products producing his own internal heat, having INDEPENDENT LOCOMOTION.

[ 46 ]

CHAPTER IX THE LAW OF FUSING ENERGY Recently Great Britain and the U.S. relaxed atomic secrecy long enough to issue a restrained announcement. In both countries the first major step had been taken toward harnessing the hydrogen bomb’s energy. Final control of this energy—the same energy that keeps the sun’s fires burning—might still be a lifetime away. But success will bring unlimited power from an inexhaustible source: hydrogen, easily obtained from water. The key to this power is fusion a process which fuses hydrogen atoms together to form helium (unlike fission which splits atoms). But hydrogen nuclei carry positive electric charges and therefore repel one another. To break this electrical barrier they must be thrown at one another with fantastic speeds. These speeds can best be attained by heating nuclei to hundreds of millions of degrees centigrade, many times hotter than the sun’s interior. Until now such temperatures have been reached on earth only in atomic bombs. To control fusion it is necessary to generate this much heat without an explosion, sustain it for more than the split-instant of a bomb, and find some way of containing it—no known material could withstand the enormous heat. In several U.S. and British laboratories, temperatures up to five million degrees centigrade have been attained—and, with them, scientists cautiously believe, brief fusion. The basic method is to run a massive electrical current through hydrogen in a tube, sometimes straight sometimes doughnut-shaped. This forms a column of hot gas like that in a neon light. The current creates a strong magnetic field, which compresses, or “pinches” the column, further heating the gas to a point where fusion begins to occur. The required temperatures have so far lasted for only thousandths of a second. But the electromagnetic pinch provides the all-important container which confines the heat. From the single unicellular amoeba in the slime of the sea, to the highly systematized and organized genus homo of vertebrates, with capabilities of internal heating, cooling, free locomotion, energy-generating equipment, repairing its mechanical and chemical systems, restoring sickness to health, the internal governing law remains the insistent constant. It is centralized within [ 47 ]

the unit with one single simple control from one central source. Educated medical scientists have tried to adapt EXTERNAL PHYSICAL LAW TO HIS concepts. Reverse is that: man must adapt HIMSELF TO the internal human law. THAT, medical “science” hasn’t learned. THAT, chiropractic makes a practical reality. (Interpolation. (Pursuant to a consistent program of refusing to speculate, vaguely guessing, wild external physical conditions; we preferably follow perplexing problems with that age-old human boring-in question “WHY!?” (We met Albert Einstein. “How come you discovered the LAW of relativity?” His answer was characteristic: “I discovered nothing. Sitting on the sea shore, I looked into space and saw something which had been there for millions of years—TIME— and I saw something in TIME AND SPACE which no other man had seen before, a LAW of relativity BETWEEN SPACE AND TIME.”

(We met Thomas Edison, by invitation, in his Menlo Park, N. J., workshop, professionally. Edison had been deaf in right ear since a boy. “Could chiropractic do anything for it?” “If he would come to Davenport, we thot, maybe it could be repaired.” He replied he “could not go to Davenport and stay there because he had work to do there. You come here and stay with me for a while.” Our reply was “We can’t stay here because WE have work to do THERE.” With these conclusions, Edison, quizzically looked at us with that enigmatic smile, said “Just think of all the unpleasant things I won’t hear that people say about me.” (Later, we met Orville Wright. “How come you boys got into the flying machine game?” “We were bicycle tire repairers in Dayton. One day mother’s washing was on the line in the backyard. Sheets, bedspreads, pillow slips, etc. They hung perpendicularly DOWNWARD from the line. A strong wind was blowing AGAINST the wash. As wind blew INTO the wash, it directed them obliquely forward and upward RAISING them. This gave us THE SIMPLE SINGLE IDEA that MORE WIND PLUS A LARGER FLAT OBLIQUE SURFACE COULD AND MIGHT RAISE LARGER OBJECTS UPWARD OFF THE GROUND. More surface, more wind, more raising potential. (“We took bicycle tubing, welded pieces together and made [ 48 ]

a double frame, a bi-plane with double surface. We put a small motor, with a propeller, to manufacture wind to blow against multiple surfaces arranged on sloping angles, which we thot would raise one of us up in air off the ground. This principle eventually worked. (“We tried experiments in a farmer’s field, outside of town, at nights. We knew what people would say about those crazy kids. Finally, we wanted to make a better production. We went to the city banker to borrow $5,000. He asked ‘What for?’ We, being frank, told him we wanted to produce a flying machine. He thot we were off balance, but suggested he would send to Columbus, to the State University, and invite three Professors of Physics to come, look-see, and, if we could and would go up and stay off the ground for one hour or more, without coming down, and they came back and so reported, he would loan us the $5,000.00. (“All five went out to the field. We compared watches so there would be no dispute as to time. We took off, were up a trifle over an hour, came down jubilant to know we would NOW get $5,000. We went to the Professors satisfied what their answers would be. We were met with ‘What do you boys THINK you have been doing?’ We have been flying, we stayed up over an hour. The professors said ‘You just think you’ve been flying. You have not been off the ground. The laws of physics say that anything which is heavier than air, can’t rise IN air and stay up in air without falling to the ground. Everything you have in that contraption IS HEAVIER THAN AIR THEREFORE YOU HAVEN’T BEEN OFF THE GROUND.’ They so reported to the banker and we didn’t get the $5,000.” (Simple incidences lead to heroic and gigantic accomplishments. Sheets on a line, plus wind, and it has revolutionized the world of transportation making the world much smaller. Three blind mice of men almost buried an historical development. (If I could have worked at the bench along side Edison, and helped him bring forth the electric globe, batteries, talking machine, motors, and millions of applications to which he put Franklin’s key sparks, what a thrill that would have been knowing we were a participant in revolutionizing the labors of a forthcoming new era for mankind. You HAVE this opportunity. YOU have it NOW! (YOU, who now listen to OUR VOICE have such an opportunity pregnant with even GREATER potentials than what Newton, Franklin, Darwin, Morse, Bell, Einstein, Edison or Wright Brothers produced because YOU are tapping the source of everything [ 49 ]

every man has ever produced, therefore are producing a BETTER, HEALTHIER, MORE NORMAL and NATURAL, MENTAL and PHYSICAL MAN, WHO CAN THEN PRODUCE BETTER THINGS THAN THOSE MEN PRODUCED. Till the advent of PROVABLE LAWS, all concepts of a God were rudimentary and doctrinal, which bewildered pathetic understandings of THE FORCES OF THE UNIVERSE. As man studied THE CREATED and began to understand THE LAWS of created objects, he better knew THE LAWS OF THE CREATOR and was able to coordinate himself in relation TO AND WITH AND HOW THE CREATOR PERFORMED HIS WORKS. The dropping of an apple, hitting Newton’s head was a simple incident. Undoubtedly similar incidents happened to other people many times. As simple as this incident, Newton asked: “Why did the apple FALL? WHY didn’t it GO UP instead?” This started a series of NEW and ORIGINAL thinking which developed into NEWTON’S LAW OF GRAVITATION which was the explanation for the LAW OF PHYSICS which had not been so seen or known previously. We can imagine Einstein sitting at a seashore, looking into space, meditating movements of matter, space, time, and wondering the WHY of any or all of it. He took NEWTON’S LAW, elaborated and developed it in a larger broader sense into THE LAW OF RELATIVITY.

Flying a kite in a storm was not unusual or new. It had been done many times by many men. Striking the string with a metal key and receiving sparks by contact had possibly been done many times before by many boys or men. As simple as this was, Ben Franklin, being inquisitive, asked “WHY these sparks. What ARE they? What do they reveal, if anything?” It started HIM seeking answers to some unseen, unknown, energy up there in space. Along came this “addle-pated” and mischievous kid, Tom Edison, who picked up the long dormant Law of Ohm, drew sparks FROM space, concentrated and stored them in Galvanic batteries and developed them into millions of ways of practical uses to lighten human labor, into modern inventions such as electric light, dynamos, gramophones recording voices on revolving wax cylinders run motors, etc. With diligent labor, practical applications, Edison proved in countless ways,

[ 50 ]

there was A LAW at work, THE LAW OF OHM, which all electricians use today. Morse used the Law of Ohm to develop the telegraph. Bell used the Law of Ohm to bring forth the telephone. Other men, later, followed Edison’s developments in thousands of more ways such as radio, television, etc. Eastman saw the inherent living potentials in the human eye, with its shutter-eye-lid lens which made possible vision, retina

to catch the picture, which was the film on which was imprinted objects seen, the diaphragm which limited the apertures of a lens, out of which came the Kodak. A true pioneer in heavier-than-air flight was Sir George Cayley who, wrote Orville Wright, “knew more OF THE PRINCIPLES OF AERONAUTICS THAN ANY OF HIS PREDECESSORS, AND AS MUCH AS ANY THAT FOLLOWED”—“Octave Chanute’s ‘Flying Machines’ of 1895 was the text book which the Wrights studied.”— “Goupil’s flying machine of 1883 looked quaint but IT WAS ACCOMPANIED BY ENGINEERING STUDY.”—“Chanute analyzed Goupil’s data, and the WRIGHTS LEARNED TO CALCULATE THE FORCES OF FLIGHT.” Following the first day’s series of flights, “the two Wright brothers knocked off for lunch, knowing that they were not only THE FIRST MEN TO FLY IN A MACHINE THAT ROSE AND MAINTAINED ITSELF IN LEVEL FLIGHTS UNDER ITS OWN POWER, BUT THEY WERE THE FIRST MEN TO FLY WITH A COMPLETE SYSTEM OF CONTROL.” (American Science & Invention.) Orville and Wilbur Wright saw wind blowing AGAINST sheets, bed-spreads of mother’s wash on the line. The wind blowing AGAINST perpendicular sheets, hanging straight down, not only blew the sheets at an angle FORWARD, but also raised them UPWARD. This movement of sheets on lines had been going on [ 51 ]

for centuries As SIMPLE as it was, these boys SAW the birth of wings to raise larger objects off the ground. Eventually, this crude principle developed into a flying machine. Steadily improved applications, experimentations, established their LAW OF AEREODYNAMICS. Each man, in his time, with its SIMPLE AND SINGLE principle and practice, was laughed at, scorned, ridiculed, denied and made sport of. Realizing he had a PRACTICAL and PROVABLE reality each FIRMLY adhered to what each knew. Where would WE BE TODAY were it not for the steadfastnesses of these simple and single-minded principles and practices as developed and practiced by these men? We are heavily indebted to each man for refusing to become a conformist to his past, for being a non-conformist to his present for future benefits to mankind. D. D. Palmer had the simple and single incident of deafness of Harvey Lillard to let HIM see the birth of a new concept and approach of a new principle and practice to getting sick people well. Re-actions of medical men followed the usual pattern. Even re-actions of some of OUR profession, even of this late date, too frequently follow that pattern. ————

What a deep-rooted and inner glow would have come to be a son of any of these men, or what an honor to be a helper with them at their work benches, month after month, helping them develop new ideas, realizing we were getting in on the ground floor of a new evolutionary and revolutionary program which had unprecedented and unlimited potentials for a newer, better, bigger and broader service to mankind, for seeing and helping to produce the future where we could dream WITH these men. To be such a HELP-MATE with such men would need strong courage to take sneers, taunts, and ridicules of those on outside looking in, that did not understand, didn’t care to know what was in the inside development inside minds of these men. It is EASY, today, to look backward and say, “Yes, I WOULD HAVE BEEN glad to have worked side by side any of these men.” It would have been MOST DIFFICULT then to look forward and say, “I shall consider it an honor to be a son and a worker alongside my father, or these men, and go thru with them what they will be compelled to take to get their principles and practices established in common usage.” [ 52 ]

Men are sold, or not sold, to new basic fundamentals. Ten words from an honest man, honestly sold within himself, carry far more weight and accomplish far more for that movement than 1,000 words from another who deceives himself and tries to deceive everybody else by issuing threats seeking personal revenge against honest men. These LAWS TOOK SOME CHAOS OUT OF SOME COSMOS.

As he knew MORE about LAWS of Cosmos, he saw less and less chaos of things. As definite LAWS for things were defined, the unknown became more known. After each law was established, men realized there WERE LAWS which governed human existence. Then was when man began to grow out of primitive superstitions and fanatic ideas. Man, in his unfortunate “scientific” desire TO “KNOW THYSELF” from outside-in, below-upward, has TUNED OUT a reasonable and factual understanding of INTERNAL INTELLIGENCE within himself, HOW it exists, WHERE it is, HOW it came, WHAT it does, and HOW it works with its mental impulse mechanical and chemical assembly line; consequently, he knows little about THE LAW OF SOURCE within himself being obstructed or interfered with, from above-down, inside-out.

Instead of seeking understanding of this INTERNAL LAW OF LIFE solving INTERNAL VIOLATIONS OF LAW PROBLEMS, he sought EXTERNAL EDUCATED PHYSICAL ANSWERS TO PROBLEMS in defiance of those laws, thinking he could change INTERNAL problems from external. If he knew INTERNAL LAW more and external violations less, he could and would solve ALL phases of ONE ONLY INTERNAL DISEASE. How to permit INTERNAL LAW TO RESTORE ITSELF would inherently follow. THIS field has been too long neglected.

The ONLY subject in medical approaches which possesses elements OF LAW is that which WAS AND IS LAW [ 53 ]

before the advent of ANY medical approach, viz: THE ANATOMY OF MAN AND WOMAN, with which medical men HAD NOTHING to do. Beginning with physiology, causes and cures of diseases, EVERYTHING has been, is now and will continue to be flux, so long as they approach the problems of man from OUTSIDE-IN, BELOW-UPWARD. Nothing is stable, fixed or possessing permanent standardization. Till 1895, studies of man were vague external theories dragged out of imaginative, nebulous hypotheses. From there on, medical approaches to diseases, diagnoses, prognoses, causes, cures, treatments, ALL were in the fields of empiricisms, arbitrary, with humiliating and impotent ideas, no two on-lookers agreeing, all leading to confusion, because there WAS NO PROVABLE SUBSTANTIAL LAW for ALL to follow alike or wisely. Failure to get sick people well was ghastly pathetic. In the absence of ANY established LAW OF LIFE, THE LAW OF ABSENCE OF LIFE, THE LAW OF RESTORATION OF LIFE, a SINGLE AND SIMPLE law, medical men were stupidly stymied. PALMER’S LAW OF LIFE revolutionizes ALL approaches to a basic knowledge of LIVING MAN; reconstructs empirical and arbitrary theories and misconceptions to a sane and sensible way of HOW to know relative values of life, sickness, death, restored health, and HOW to permit one stage to evolve away from or back to the other. Or, in reverse language, to correctly KNOW THE LAW OF LIFE, THE LAW OF THE ABSENCE OF LIFE, AND THE LAW OF RESTORATION OF LIFE, is to be able to decrease that spreading gap existing BETWEEN totality of the PRESENCE OF THE LAW OF LIFE, and THE TOTALITY OF ANY PORTION OF THE ABSENCE OF THE LAW OF LIFE. [ 54 ]

CHAPTER X THE LAW OF ASSEMBLY LINES Henry Ford was the first to conceive and develop the electrical, mechanical, motor driven, unital assembly line. Raw materials were assembled, transported to Detroit, there transformed and reduced into refined elements, passing thru motor unital assembly lines. Each transition was brot into action BY ELECTRICAL POWER, each motor unit adding some part. Eventually the completed object. Henry Ford dreamed, conceived, correlated, pieced together, assembled units, all fitting INTO ONE systematic scheme. It was called “Ford’s Folly.” It was one great step forward—HOW TO KNOW-HOW to produce better automobiles faster. Ford was no brilliant university professor with degrees. He was a commoner with an understanding of HOW TO KNOW-HOW, with unusual internal vision. No matter how many minute movable parts made up each unit, all fit into and with all other units. Each or ALL had no value UNLESS each had POWER to put them into motion. POWER MADE MOTION, and MOTION PRODUCED PRODUCT. Without power, units were static. With power, the purpose of the assembly line would be possible. Ford’s plant had electrical generators producing electrical power sufficient to run EVERY unit of the assembly line. POWER flowed from GENERATORS above, to cable, to peripheral UNIT WIRES, TO UNIT, thru which flowed electrical energy. Mechanical manufacturing plants, having assembly lines, begin with a motley series of disrelated parts to be completed when correctly assembled rolling off the peripheral lower end under ITS power. As units move along the line, place to place, time to time, piece by piece is added. As the object assumes form, overhead and lateral feeders add parts to what is already in proper position. With a car, there is a frame, engine, body, carburetor, battery, wheels, gas tank, steering wheel, connections from gas tank to engine, electrical connections to battery, spark plugs. Eventually car is given gas, electrical power is turned on, spark [ 55 ]

plugs ignite gas, energy is released, and car runs off lower end an INDEPENDENT unit on ITS OWN automation. The human plant is also a factory. It has an assembly line. The ULTIMATE objective is to bring into living motion an all complete, intelligent, thinking, sensing, power plant, producing a smoothly operated mechanism. It possesses cooling, heating, maintenance and upkeep departments, locomotion; a reproduction department manufacturing other units like itself. All parts inter-communicate within its INNER world as well as the environmental world surrounding it. After the mental blue prints are completed, seed keels are placed for incubation. In approximately 270 to 280 days, assembly line is completely developed, piece by piece, organ by organ, month by month. 1. The brain power plant is FIRST to take form with connected continuity, nerve-wires laid in systematic assemblage, dependent upon later dessication. They are placed and divided in series, carrying a totality power to individual parts below even to every tissue cell. 2. The main organic assembly canal contains mouth, throat, stomach, intestines, bowels down to bladder and rectum. It extends from entrance front receiving door above, to exit rear basement back door below. 3. A crude analogy suggests a long tubular canal leading from ABOVE DOWN, conveying substances from entrance front above to exit rear below. The canal conveys and delivers supplies to different receiving stations on both sides along the right of way. At proper places, it receives FROM AND DELIVERS TO what is needed to other intercommunicating parts enroute. 4. Lateral feeders, at proper time and place, cooperate adding contiguous allied units to the whole of the structure, such as lungs, heart, liver, spleen, kidneys, etc. 5. A 4-way pump with continuous circulating tubes conveys oxygen to and carbon dioxide from and to all parts of the plant, heating and cooling fluids, flowing to all parts thru arteries, arterioles, veins and venules into every tissue cell. 6. Movable arm sections reach out to add to and movable legs assemble appropriate materials it needs. When completed, the final dependent unit is delivered from the original female plant, intelligent power is then turned on from above-down, inside-out and it assumes independency sufficient to run on its own built-in power system. [ 56 ]

IF ONE UNIT MUSCULAR MOTOR RECEIVED LESS POWER than required, THAT unit would run slower at REDUCED speed, congesting units BEHIND and paralyzing units FORWARD. This would affect output of the entire plant, ALL because ONE unit was reduced in rhythmic rpm’s per a given time, because of LACK OF POWER to keep it up to par mobility. If ONE essential unit broke down, failed to keep pace, fore and aft, quantity and quality of unfinished product was reduced. Instead of TREATING the dis-eased delayed slowed-down machine, the practical and efficient engineer seeks, finds and corrects CAUSE OF SHORTAGE OF POWER, adjusts it and quickly gets the plant back into production. Question naturally arises, “Suppose one or more human units are pathologically worn out, some parts are lop-sided or surfaces are pitted with dis-eased defective material making them impossible to perform former normal delivery. THEN WHAT? There is where this HUMAN mechanical assembly line DIFFERS from all EXTERNAL mechanical assembly line units. THE HUMAN ASSEMBLY PLANT has stored away, in reserve, within every sectional, sub-division unit, RESERVE TISSUE CELL CENTERS, READY, WAITING; and when needed, the Intellectual Director above sends messages to proper centers and out come reparative cells which are PROPERLY placed TO REPAIR each and every unit or part of any part of the human production assembly line. It matters not whether the break-down in human parts be fractures of an arm or leg, ulcers in stomach, cancer of breast or female organs, tuberculosis of lungs or bones, inflamed mucous membrane of stomach with indigestion, boils, cuts of skin, or what have you—tissue cell centers are ready, waiting to get orders to expand themselves from microscopic to normal size, to come forth, to make repairs at proper place; in proper ways. Each cell is directed from above-down, inside-out WHERE to go, HOW to be placed, HOW MANY are needed, each kind coming from its locality nearest to the disaster, such as we find in healed scars, fused bone-fractures, cuts, abrasions, etc. Some tissue cell centers may NEVER be used. Some others may be used occasionally for a temporary condition such as a local boil. Some may be used constantly for years repairing as dis-ease tears down, such as tuberculosis of lungs, until the local reserve supplies are exhausted—in which event the Commander above KNOWS there is nothing more HE CAN DO to keep THAT particular assembly line alive. To start with, these tissue cell centers are placed in utero. [ 57 ]

They are ready to act supposing a severe skin burn should occur shortly after birth. Or, they may lay dormant for years. It is much like a municipal fire department, fully equipped, which ONLY comes into play when the Fire Chief receives an alarm to go to a proper place, with proper equipment, to put out a destructive fire. This MIGHT BE the first day they equipped the station. It MIGHT NOT BE for months or years. In the event of a bon-fire, only ashes remain. If a home is bombed, it cannot replace or repair itself. If a city is bombed only man can repair, replace or reproduce it. Should a flash flood wash away a landmark, only the internally intellectual man can step in and replace it. This analysis of the smooth running of an entire plant, is understood NOW, but how about AWAY BACK WHEN they were unknown, “radical,” “impossible,” “scientifically unsound” and dubbed a “cult”?

REALIZING —that man is a self-sustaining internal MECHANICAL assembly line —that motion in all its parts is a mechanical necessity

—that ACTION is a mechanical necessity —that friction occurs —induced by one part rubbing against another —if not lubricated

REALIZING FURTHER —that man is 7/8ths fluids —is an internal self-sustaining assembly line —that all joints and soft structures must be lubricated —this system produces liquid oil by-products to perform this service [ 58 ]

REALIZING FURTHER —that man is a self-sustaining internal nourishing assembly line —therefore the alimentary assembly line —receives, digests, extracts, absorbs and sustains —all parts that need food —eliminating waste fluids and solids at proper exits below, of this assembly line

REALIZING FURTHER

—that fluids and solids must be moved —through the nourishing assembly line —through the glandular assembly line —by the mechanical movements of organs through and by the mechanical assembly line [ 59 ]

THEREFORE —these co-ordinate multiple functions —are moved into action —by a continuity mental impulse nerve force assembly line from above-down, inside-out —efferently, from brain, via efferent nerves, through organic structures —afferently, from body, via afferent nerves, via sense impressions and interpretations

THEREBY —establishing an efferent intelligent need supply of function and an afferent intelligent sense knowledge of needs, of all

functions to and in and from all parts of all human assembly lines. [ 60 ]

(All of which NOW recalls our research of the WET AND DRY MAN of years ago, published in one of our Volumes, which directly ties in here, the application of which accounts for the gross majority of all plus or minus of all fluidic symptoms and pathologies of diseases.) EXTERNAL fluids and solids enter mouth. They mix with saliva, pass down throat, mix with other acids and alkalies in stomach, intestines and bowels. Nutrient substances are extracted enroute beginning a circuitous assembly line thru various glands. Each is acted upon by mental impulse energy supply from above-down, inside-out, thru muscular action. Similar processes involve a series of unit chain actions and re-actions, with energy coming from brain, via nerves, to each chain organ. We can exist 40 days without foods. We can navigate 40 HOURS without fluids. But, we can’t LIVE 40 MINUTES WITHOUT mental impulse supply flowing freely from above-down, inside-out brain TO body. [ 61 ]

CHAPTER XI THE LAWS OF HUMAN ASSEMBLY LINES The spinal column is man’s perpendicular mechanical, flexible, line-shaft assembly line, which supports the body, protecting the main cable of the spinal cord of nerve fibers which divides fibers enroute from above down, to pass outward between vertebral segments to convey ALL energy FROM ALL brain TO ALL body. It is flexible within their inter-articular osseous locking orbits. Because of strains, wrenches, falls, accidents, vertebrae, here or there get out of normal natural orbits of flexibility get distorted and become anchored out of natural juxtaposition alignment.

Every living human has —a brain dynamo generator —a mental impulse power supply —muscles receive power —muscles motorize organs along the line —each organ issues a special part of the whole IF one organ received LESS power.

[ 62 ]

—muscular contracting and relaxing slows down —unit organic motors slow down —reducing FREQUENCY OF MOTION —chemical dilution or essence in glands —slows down inter-relationship and inter-communications —establishing an unbalanced chemical economy. ALL because one or more organs WERE PERFORMING LESS, because of A REDUCED SUPPLY OF POWER, of the inherent intelligent directing mental impulse from ITS living source, the brain dynamo, via nerve interference. The basic difference between a LIVE person and CORPSE is that in one Innate mind moves matter with all its parts, around its orbit. The corpse has lost its Innate mind therefore is unable to move part or parcel; it is stationary, immovable. The sick man is somewhere on the quantity percentage decline between 100% mental and physical movability and 0% movability at all.

LIFE is motion, DEATH is absence of motion. DIS-EASE is some degree of decline BETWEEN life and death. 25% of LIFE on DECLINE is equivalent to —75% of death on increase, or —75% of presence of dis-ease 75% of declined death is equivalent to —decline of life, or —25% of remaining health. As LIFE DECLINES, dis-ease INCLINES as death fades IN. As DEATH INCLINES, life begins to DECLINE, as dis-ease fades IN. [ 63 ]

Dis-ease is an INTERMEDIATE declining STAGE SOMEWHERE BETWEEN life and death. HEALTH is an INTERMEDIATE returning inclining STAGE SOMEWHERE BETWEEN death and life. LIFE is 100% mental impulse flow. DEATH is 0% flow of mental impulse supply.

DIS-EASE is an INTERMEDIATE declining degree BETWEEN one and the other. As mental impulse flow reduces and declines, life reduces and declines, and death increases and inclines: dis-ease being some intermediate degree between one and the other. As mental impulse flow increases and inclines, life increases and inclines, and dis-ease decreases and declines, health being some intermediate degree between one and the other. _________ As electrical flow REDUCES AND DECLINES, light FADES OUT and darkness FADES IN. As electrical flow INCREASES AND INCLINES, light INCREASES and darkness FADES OUT. Light, dis-ease or darkness depends on which is increasing or decreasing; inclining or declining.

[ 64 ]

Everything, every thing, lives in or on earth because of energy flowing from the sun. Likewise, everything, every thing, in man lives because of intelligent energy being directed in ifs flow from brain flowing from above-down, inside-out to its body below.

[ 65 ]

CHAPTER XII THE LAW OF MUSCULAR POWER UNITS ELBERT HUBBARD SAID:

THE OBVIOUS IS THE LAST THING WE THINK, SEE OR DO! Eyeballs MOVE in four directions because of four sets of MUSCLES. BLINK either eye-lid—MUSCLES at work. LAUGH OR FROWN—MUSCLES in motion. CHEW AND SWALLOW—depends on MUSCLES. LUNGS INHALE AND EXHALE—MUSCLES contracting and relaxing. STOMACH churns food—MUSCULAR rotations. SINGING is expansion and contraction of vocal cords—MUSCULAR CONTROL ALL, TUBES, mouth to rectum, are surrounded with three sets of MUSCLES—longitudinal, circular and spiral. INTESTINES AND BOWELS—muscles keep food moving forward, downward and outward. BM’s MUSCLES pushing and squeezing. FOOD potentials, from solids and liquids, MUSCLES propel forward while selecting. DIAPHRAGM. MUSCLES help talking, singing, coughing, vomiting. STANDING, WALKING, RUNNING. MUSCLES give balance, motion, speed. GLANDS secrete and excrete. MUSCLES pulling and pushing fluids forward. KIDNEYS SUCK FLUIDS FROM BODY AND PROPEL FORWARD—MUSCLES DO IT. ROTATE HEAD, BOW—MUSCLES MAKE each possible. ARMS AND LEGS are in motion because of MUSCLES with bones as the supporting framework. A “stroke” so-called takes place where nerves controlling [ 66 ]

bodily muscular movements are located. These zones of nerve fibers run from deep in brain down spinal cord, carrying impulses between zones and parts of body they affect. If a blockage occurs somewhere along their paths, muscular activity controlled by those impulses is impaired. FRACTURE a bone. MUSCLES squeeze out new ossific tissue cells to unite the segments. A SKIN CUT. MUSCLES OOZE A HEALING FLUID. Strip the body of ALL muscles, what is left? Skin to cover bones which supported them. MUSCLES everywhere in every structure! To move, MUSCLES must have POWER. POWER flows to and thru MUSCLES from nerves. NERVES convey power from BRAIN. _________ NORMAL power flow, normal MUSCULAR motion. NORMAL MUSCULAR action, NORMAL ORGANIC FUNCTION. REDUCED power flow, REDUCED MUSCULAR motion. REDUCED MUSCULAR action, REDUCED organic function. REDUCED ORGANIC FUNCTION sickness, dis-ease. _________ EXAMPLES: INTERFERED power supply, to MUSCLES in tubes, contents accumulate, coagulate, putrefy, poison the system, back up to exit thru skin—eruptive fevers. INTERFERED power supply to MUSCLES in kidneys—urine dammed back somewhere—dropsy. INTERFERED power supply to muscles of liver—dammed back bile—jaundice. INTERFERED power to heart—MUSCLES paralyzed—“heart failure”—heart fails to pump. Heart is ALL muscles. If MUSCLES contract and relax in normal rhythm frequency, function is normal. If MUSCLES contract or relax out of rhythm, they can CONTRACT—PERMANENT CONTRACTION; or, they may prolapse—PERMANENT relaxation. If MUSCLES contract OR relax with irregularity, spasms of intermittent contractions can occur—spastic paralysis. The average motorist is surprised if the fuel pump with which his car is equipped lasts for the lifetime of his vehicle. He never realizes his body has a pump capable of outlasting the most powerful motor car built. The heart is the toughest, strongest MUSCLE in the entire human body. It is more efficient than any man-made machine. [ 67 ]

It has contacts with its own complete maintenance and repair system. It expresses enough energy in its lifetime to lift the battleship Missouri 14 feet out of water. It has a reservoir of power specifically at its command specifically intended for strenuous exertion. It pumps every drop of blood, arterial and venous, to body tissues and back once every minute. It is as strong as an automobile engine that could run for 70 years without overhauling. It is composed entirely of muscle laced by a dense network. It works about a third of each second contracting sharply to pump blood through the body. It does this so efficiently that every drop travels from heart to body and back again about once every minute. In the two-thirds of a second between beats it relaxes, while its chambers refill. The heart’s repair system is remarkable. There are two kinds of repairs: those required by damage to valves and those called for by the blocking or narrowing of arteries or veins due to interference to and changing of the rhythmic muscular contractions or relaxations because of interference to the above-down, inside-out flow of energy to muscular activities. When mental impulse supply is REDUCED in flow, fails to get FROM brain to muscles, there is PARALYSIS OF MOTION— reduced function—dis-ease. LOCATE AND CORRECT INTERFERENCE TO POWER FLOW and you have corrected THE CAUSE of ONE ONLY dis-ease, regardless of location, organ, degree or name attached, in the human assembly line.

This analysis of a smooth running of the human assembly line is SIMPLE to understand, SINGLE, and applicable to ALL sicknesses. It is easy to understand NOW, but how about when these ideas were considered “impractical, radical, impossible?” Man needs no microscope to dissect tissues, or chemical testtubes for component fluids. Those are all regulated correctly INTERNALLY BY THE LAW OF LIFE. These functions continue WITHOUT exterior man knowing whys or wherefore of what is [ 68 ]

medically sought today. This LAW OF LIFE is as perfect in ignorant as the wise; savage as the savant; country as well as city. Millions of human races have come and gone, for aeons of time, ignorant of all so-called “scientific” medical procedures to “cure” diseases from OUTSIDE-IN, BELOW UPWARD. Regardless of man’s ignorances of incantations, fetishes, amulets, prescriptions or injections, THERE WAS A LAW OF LIFE AT WORK inside, in spite of rather than because of what some men thot about how to regulate the rest of all mankind. THE LAW WAS ALL, SUFFICIENT UNTO ITSELF and continues in defiance of man. There is no law of life, or how the law of life is diminished, or how the law of restoration takes place, in medicine. All three are basic in the chiropractic philosophy, science and art.

[ 69 ]

CHAPTER XIII THE LAW OF PATTERNS Did Ford look at living man, himself perhaps, and see a consistent, movable, working, assembly line? Did he observe, fathom and study the human Innate mental, anatomical, physiological, muscular driven motion system? Did it become an obsession for him to duplicate what he saw, in himself, in his factory? Was the human assembly line a pattern for the production of cars? Having observed the practical workings of man, and being practical in his plant, he might have! One difference was: Ford’s assembly line dealt with HARD substances such as iron, steel, aluminum, wood, rubber, glass, cloth, etc.; all products OUTSIDE of man. Man’s assembly line dealt with SOFT elements, such as flexible and feeling flesh, muscular fibers, tissue tubes, brain, spinal cord, nerves, human mental impulse power supply. Did Ford see a parallel likeness? Each unit in Ford’s assembly line IS necessary for the perfected automobile. Same IS true of the human assembly line. Brain, nerve, viscus, organ, gland, pump, breathing apparatus, urinary and digestive systems, muscles, bones in the beginning all were correlated, assembled and placed in proper sequence to receive, act upon, and pass on, at right time, right place, right amounts. The All Wise Creator of the vertebrata builded beyond comprehensions and capabilities of educated man to duplicate even the minutest tissue cell and make it function coordinately. EACH organic unit in this HUMAN assembly line IS A

[ 70 ]

FUNCTIONAL MOTOR. Muscular response to power flows thru it, induces its motion. Muscles are in pairs, one contracting, its mate relaxing. Muscles MOVE in time periods of long-length to short-length, shortening the stroke, its mate lengthening simultaneously.

Muscles CANNOT MOVE WITHOUT mental impulse nerve power flowing THRU them. This force comes via nerve-wires directly connected TO distant brain dynamo generator.

Each link in the chain expresses an INTANGIBLE power, force or energy, moving each unit in progression. Each is subject to [ 71 ]

disintegration if dormant a long time. This intangible mental impulse supply keeps them up to healthy regeneration. If spinal cord cable between brain and organ became completely disconnected because of vertebral dislocation or fracture, ENTIRE assembly line below dies for want of motion, power line is broken. LIFE IS MOTION. ABSENCE OF MOTION IS DEATH. (This fact is NOT new, is well known. If certain vertebral DISLOCATION occurs, and produces pressure upon spinal cord, paralysis exists in ALL matter below that point. If fracture occurs at some lower spot in vertebral column, and segments or splinters of bone produce pressures upon spinal cord, paralysis exists in muscles and organs BELOW that point. Surgery is frequently resorted to, to remove portions of posterior arches of a vertebra, to release pressure on spinal cord, to permit restoration of flow from ABOVE DOWN, INSIDE OUT, to muscles below that point.) If an INDIVIDUAL set of spinal nerve-wires, passing thru some intervertebral foramen, are squeezed or pinched because of vertebral SUBLUXATION, that pressure reduces quantity flow of mental impulse

supply from that point outwardly going to an individual organ. Current flow IS REDUCED, muscles get less at periphery of those nerves, free force flow is reduced, speed of muscular motion is diminished, each organ produces less function. There is NO DIFFERENCE, in principle or practice, BETWEEN dislocation with TOTAL pressure on spinal cord, or subluxation with PARTIAL pressure on spinal nerves. Net result at peripheries of nerves, in both cases, is PARALYSIS of muscular function. 100% mental impulse flow from ABOVE-DOWN, INSIDE-OUT is necessary to perfect motion in ALL organs, working harmoniously, systematically, for health. ALL MUST WORK under an intelligent director to insure a healthy human assembly line. [ 72 ]

CHAPTER XIV THE LAW OF MUSCULAR IMPORTANCE From dis-ease to ease. ———— Life is motion. Motion is life. ———— Absence of motion is death. Death is absence of motion. ———— Power is necessary IN matter to produce motion. ———— Matter, without power, is static substance. ———— There must be matter to be moved by power to have motion. ———— Muscles in vertebrata are THE matter which moves. ———— contract and relax in rhythm, move when activated by Muscles intelligent power. ———— Muscles are built in pairs; when one is contracting, its mate is relaxing. ———— Power flows in alternations, one in contraction, other in relaxation. ———— Muscles in rhythmic flows move organs to which they are connected. ———— Power in human beings IS mental impulse nerve force flow. Power is a FLOWING process into, thru and out of muscles. ———— Brain absorbs, concentrates, condenses outside abstract force. Brain is the human dynamo generator. How brain takes Intelligence and power from space and occupies the unit, is the great unknown. ———— From brain to tissue cell is a direct continuity system of direct nerve connections. [ 73 ]

This nerve distribution system is complete from every brain cell TO every tissue cell. FROM brain cell, thru its continuous nerve fiber, TO every tissue cell FLOWS this brain mental impulse nerve force into, thru and from every tissue cell. ———— Normal QUANTITY flow between brain cell and tissue cell equals normal quantity motion, which is normal life motion. Normal quantity flow between ALL brain cells TO ALL tissue cells equals normal motion in ALL the body, which is HEALTHY life. Normal quantity flow BETWEEN brain cell and tissue cell to each pair of alternating pairs of muscles equals normal contraction and relaxation in each and all pairs of muscular fibers. Normal quantity flow of mental impulse nerve force flow BETWEEN ALL brain cells and ALL tissue cells, to ALL pairs of muscles, equals normal contractions and alternate relaxations in ALL pairs of muscles in ALL the entire body, which IS healthy function in ALL organs activated by those motions. ANY REDUCTION of or interference with normal quantity flow of mental impulse or nerve force flow between brain and body, SLOWS DOWN frequency of muscular contractions and relaxations of any one or more pairs, in any organ or all organs in any one part or all parts of the human body, impairing normal quantity or quality of product or products of that or those organs— a condition called dis-ease. (A good example of territory involved, by comparison, is monoplegia, hemiplegia or paraplegia, involving muscles of a small area, one entire side, or lower legs; ptosis or prolapsis are typical.) Dis-ease can be expressed in any condition, in the organic body, from and inferior to the brain, below source of power in the superior brain where “ease” is. Nerve fibers are the distributing media of nerve force between brain above and body below; brain cell connecting to tissue cell; via muscles. Nerve fibers are SOFTEST substance and are the all important conveyor of all power to all the body. Bones are HARDEST substance, and are important in supporting all structures of the vertebrata. Of all bones, spinal column is the back-bone, supports all organs, to which are attached ligaments which are the anchoring filaments of muscles, which make possible contractions between two distal anchored fixed points. Spinal column of human backbone is flexible, consisting of 24 [ 74 ]

movable segments permitting rotation, torsion; flexion and counter-flexion; extension and counter-extension, within a radius of fixed limits determined by intervertebral osseous articulatory locks, beyond which they cannot normally go. This premise holds good in all vertebrae below inferior of axis. Spinal column houses spinal cord and protects IT from abnormal or excessive external injuries. There are NO interarticular osseous locks between occiput and atlas, or between atlas and axis, except for odontoid process of axis which only prevents one mis-direction. These articulations are MOST subject to accidental subluxations inducing all subsequent sequences which follow, causing dis-ease. For this reason the chiropractor directs MOST of his attention TO this most important area in the correction of most of all causes of dis-ease. (It is occasionally true, some lower adaptative misalignments may from time to time need correction.) Because of inter-osseous articular locks existing between all vertebrae BELOW inferior of axis, no TRUE OR PRIMARY subluxation, with its four necessary elements, is present. Because of the only TRUE OR PRIMARY subluxation superior to inferior of axis, varied osseous pathologies can develop in and between vertebrae BELOW inferior of axis; such as caries, necrosis, tuberculosis of bone, exostosis, osteomalacia, etc., as a result of which a FALSE OR SECONDARY misalignment COULD exist which would and occasionally, altho rarely, does (a) occlude a foramen (b) produce a local inferior intermediary additional pressure upon intervertebral spinal nerves (c) reduce a secondary quantity flow of mental impulse supply (d) at a second location (e) which might and sometimes does need a temporary local inferior correction. Condition SUPERIOR TO inferior of axis, is A TRUE PRIMARY SUBLUXATION CAUSE upon which only an adjustment CAN BE GIVEN. Any condition inferior to axis is A FALSE AND SECONDARY MISALIGNMENT EFFECT that might need a CORRECTION. By itself, this inferior correction would not get the secondary condition well. ITS cause is SUPERIOR, not in itself. Every reduction OF, or interference TO normal quantity flow of mental impulse or nerve force flow BETWEEN brain and body SLOWS DOWN frequency of muscular contractions and relaxations in any one pair or all pairs, in any organ or all organs in any one part or all parts of the human body, impairing the normal quan[ 75 ]

tity or quality of product or by-products of that or those organs—a condition called dis-ease. DIS-ease is any CONDITION expressed in the organic body, externally disassociated in the educated brain, BELOW its source of intelligent Innate power in the internal brain, where “ease” resides. Nerve fibers are the DISTRIBUTING MEDIA between brain and body; brain cell, via muscles, to tissue cell. Nerve fibers are THE SOFTEST substance and the ALL IMPORTANT CONVEYING MEDIA OF ALL POWER TO ALL THE BODY. Bones are the hardest substance, and are important in supporting all muscular structures and organs of the vertebrata. The spinal column of the human backbone is flexible, consisting of 24 movable segments permitting rotation, torsion, flexion, counter-flexion, extension and counter-extension, within a radius of fixed limits determined by intervertebral articulatory osseous locks, beyond which they cannot normally go. This premise holds good in ALL vertebrae below the inferior of axis. _________ Man is the one unnatural animal who wants to do more than he was naturally built to do, wants TO BE more than he is, wants to DO MORE than he should, scales mountains, explores depths of oceans, travels at 100 miles per hour on land and thousands of miles in the air; struggles, strains, twists, has accidents beyond recovery which distort the bony frame-work, especially his backbone, even to fractures, dislocations, subluxations and occasionally misalignments. Exiting FROM the circular base of the solid bony magnum foramen of his skull, is spinal cord, the accumulation of ALL multiple extensional brain fibers into nerve fibers between every brain cell TO every tissue cell. Passing downward THRU spinal canal, into and thru each solid bony ring IN each vertebra, is a continuation of spinal cord FROM brain. At every inter-vertebral space, laterally and between each two vertebrae, are foramina from which nerves dessicate FROM spinal cord, passing externally outward, enroute on paths to each muscle, organ, tissue cell. Passage for spinal cord, between magnum foramen of skull [ 76 ]

and into spinal canal of atlas and axis, is thru one solid bony ring into another, subject to being DECREASED in size, shape or circumference, due to constrictions, due to abnormal distortions and disrelationships of inter-relationships between one vertebra and the other, due to accidental concussions of external forces in opposition to internal resistance forces, which SUBLUXATE one upon the other.

This distorted inter-vertebral space OCCLUDES THE OPENING, DECREASES ITS SIZE, PRODUCES PRESSURES UPON SPINAL CORD OR SPINAL NERVES.

PRESSURE upon spinal cord or spinal nerves, REDUCES CARRYING CAPACITY of transmission of the abstract Innate mental impulse nerve force flow FROM ABOVE SOURCE at brain TO BELOW DISTRIBUTION in muscles, organs and/or tissue cells. This IMPEDED quantity flow of power, force or energy, [ 77 ]

SLOWS DOWN action, motion, in muscles disturbing normal function of organic expression. Disturbed normal function depends upon location of muscular abnormal action, organ or organs to which they are distributed, to where they are unable to produce normal quantity motion, producing A dis-ease.

What this dis-ease IS, how its symptoms may be correlated into a diagnosis, depends upon (a) distribution of nerve fibers (b) location of these fibers (c) number of nerve fibers under pressure (d) degree of that pressure (e) length of time abnormality continues (f) to grow in its abnormal state of being. What this dis-ease COULD BE, depends upon (a) combinations of paralyzed muscles, (b) organs affected at their peripheries (c) directly or indirectly related (d) as they become involved (e) in reduced frequency (f) of activity of motion (g) in varied combinations (h) of inter-related functions in organs.

POWER IS NECESSARY to move muscles. MUSCLES ARE ESSENTIAL to coordinate entire body inter-relationships. REDUCED POWER flow REDUCES muscular actions. REDUCED FREQUENCY of muscular rhythmic motions destroys functional normality.

[ 78 ]

(Due to interference to mental impulse nerve force flow TO muscles, current flow may be momentarily stopped, may move by starts and jerks, or flow too slowly at periods or too rapidly at others, due to abnormal force flows TO muscles to where normal muscular activities become abnormal in spasms or paralysis; either one affecting organs which they supply.) DESTROYED functional activity IS DIS-EASE. RESTORED power flow restores muscular motion, which restores body co-ordination. Ease is the result. Quantity flow of mental impulse nerve force flow PREDETERMINES THE CAUSE OF ANY PHYSICAL DIS-EASE regardless of symptoms or pathologies. The PRIMARY issue then is: (a) to locate WHERE, WHEN and HOW (b) this intervertebral foramen (c) is producing pressure (d) upon spinal cord or spinal nerves, (e) interfering with (f) normal quantity flow (g) of mental impulse nerve force (h) between brain and body The SECONDARY issue then is: (a) having located WHERE, WHEN AND HOW (b) this intervertebral foramen (c) is producing dis-ease (d) at distal or peripheral endings (e) of nerve fibers (f) in tissue cell structures, (g) TO CORRECT THAT INTERFERENCE, (h) WHERE it is, WHEN it is and HOW it is (i) BY VERTEBRAL ADJUSTMENT (j) BY HANDS ONLY (k) knowing when you have done this (1) there is NOTHING MORE YOU CAN DO (m) therefore it is time to quit (n) and from there on (o) let the INTERNAL INTELLIGENT POWER (p) take over, cure and heal (q) the dis-ease (r) regardless. [ 79 ]

This adjustment is a simple, single process and corrects THE PRIMARY CAUSE of all of the ONE ONLY single and simple dis-ease in any part of an abnormal or sick body. CAUSE is abstract. CAUSE is NOT concrete. There IS NO CAUSE of dis-ease in a DEAD body. CAUSE is INTERNAL WITHIN the living body. CURE is abstract. CURE is NOT concrete. There IS NO CURE of dis-ease in a DEAD body. CURE is INTERNAL WITHIN the living body. There IS NO ADJUSTMENT OF A VERTEBRAL SUBLUXATION in a DEAD body. It can be corrected only in a LIVE body. The LIVING body is ALL sufficient in birth, in construction, function, providing LIFE FLOW FROM WITHIN CAN EXPRESS ITSELF, from WHERE IT IS, TO WHERE IT OF RIGHT BELONGS IN THAT LIVING BODY. When living man IS sick, medicine is externally prescribed, multiple different external treatments are given. The chiropractor gives a vertebral adjustment by hands only, each doing WHAT he does, AS he does it, with the ultimate HOPE that somehow, some way, something will take place WITHIN that body, resulting in its GETTING WELL. To make this HOPE come true, THERE MUST BE AN INTERNAL SOURCE of LIFE AND HEALTH. Where there IS paralysis there IS A SOURCE of normal muscular movement; where insanity exists there IS a source from which sanity comes; if there IS constipation there IS a source from which come normal bm’s; if there is “heart failure” there IS A SOURCE of normal systolic and diastolic heart beats; in polio treatments rehabilitation is used with hopes of restored control of normal movement. Regardless of dis-ease, or treatment used, the ULTIMATE hope is that FROM SOMEWHERE, SOMEHOW, IN SOME UNEXPLAINABLE WAY, FROM SOME FAR AWAY UNKNOWN SOURCE, the opposite of abnormal, the NORMAL, will come and reverse the process. WHERE IS THIS SOURCE? Is it SOMEWHERE OUTSIDE THE SICK BODY, OR SOMEWHERE INSIDE THE SICK BODY? WHERE IS THAT HEALTH SOURCE, the exhaustless fount from which all life flows WHEN WELL, to which IT IS HOPED IT WILL RETURN when sickness prevails? What is IT to which millions of people PRAY? Where is IT to which millions of preachers pray?

[ 80 ]

What is IT which M.D.’s hope to stimulate or inhibit to get sick people well? Is there no explanation; or, is there a simple one? IF this SOURCE is ALL THERE within when we ARE WELL, does IT take leave of the body, take a prolonged vacation so long as we are sick? Is it sensible to take its complete and capable presence for granted when we are well, and then pray virtuously and hope fruitlessly for its return when sick? What would happen if we take for granted IT IS ALWAYS INTERNALLY THERE, READY AND WILLING to serve and restore life and health IF IT CAN GET FROM SOURCE, via SEMI-SOURCE, to NON-SOURCE? After IT has delivered and restored life AND health, is it wise to say “our prayers have been answered” and, give thanks to the physician who “saved the life” of the sick one? Or, is it the essence of wisdom to intelligently admit PALMER’S LAW OF LIFE ALONE does WHAT it ALONE CAN DO? Nothing, no thing, EXTERNALLY need be artificially added to or subtracted from, except for air we naturally breathe, fluids we drink naturally to keep our bodies fluidic, and food we eat to meet the internal appetite demands. What has been DEnatured can be REnatured. The struggle with most people is largely one of man against himself, between abnormal darkness of ignorance and natural light of understanding; and, those who create correction between one and the other. Then let us cherish, preserve, protect and defend CHIROPRACTIC; hug it to our principles and practices every day of every month of every year, for the benefits of mankind it serves. [ 81 ]

CHAPTER XVI THE LAW OF BUILDERS Man’s assembly line is MORE elaborate, MORE complicated, MORE intricate, FINER built and MORE mysteriously organized and run. Man, today, especially the professional man, little knows himself. He stands at the bed-side of the sick and dying, wishing he KNEW MORE, COULD DO MORE, TO BE OF GREATER HELP IN SAVING HUMAN LIVES. Man, externally, can make automobiles, but all the mechanical automobile builders could not produce ONE INTERNAL human assembly line. If ALL educations taught in all medical colleges, in all medical libraries, issued by all medical laboratories, and all their theories and experiments, down thru history, could be essenced into the brain of ONE man, he could not make ONE HUMAN BEING AND CAUSE HIM TO LIVE.

This distinctive INTERNAL human builder, which many crudely call “Nature,” others call Innate Intelligence, is exhaustless without beginning or ending, unlimited, flowing constantly without the aid of man, FROM a superior source TO man. It is absorbed in some way known only to itself, enters the human dynamo brain builded for that specific purpose, and from there is destined, designed and distributed thru its own channels constructed for THAT specific purpose, to flow to all parts from birth to death. And, if man DID KNOW all he wants to know, he could not change or improve it.

PALMER’S LAW OF LIFE includes a primary factor, Innate Intelligence, as the abstract Governing Director; controlling ALL free flows of intelligent force to EVERY organic muscular motor between IT and ITS movable expression. This Great Scheme of Creation is a super-consciousness. It has and is reproducing millions of human assembly lines, male and female, all alike in construction and function. Each produces reproductive sexual seeds,

[ 93 ]

plants them same way, assembles its products same way. At end of 280 days, under its sole direction, there issues another fully equipped duplicated boy or girl sufficient unto itself to become another instrument in an endless chain; millions of people, millions of years, all with varied colored skins, all alike physically, no matter where geographically located. Each comes, serves its purpose, its motor runs awhile, wears out in time, disintegrates, but leaves behind a residue that duplicates its kind. Sometimes, somewhere, when its rules and regulations for governing itself are violated, THERE CAN BE A BLOCKAGE in flow between IT and ITS expression, from WHERE IT IS to where IT SHOULD express itself. The one only great necessity IS TO LOCATE AND CORRECT THIS BLOCKAGE.

[ 94 ]

CHAPTER XVII THE LAW OF CONTINUITY The blue print of each NEW human organization is the same. The male does not know how to manufacture reproductive seed; neither does the female. Once seeds are made, neither knows how to do “what comes nacherally” to unite them. Female does not know HOW to fertilize, develop, where and when to properly place each organ, place each in systematic form; or, when all is completed, prepare its expulsion. Each organ is incredibly builded right, consolidated in proper location, and when all is finished it was builded by law and is furnished with A LAW to run it. No matter how many male and female seeds in how many people are planted, species and families follow their reliable justified patterns. Each kind runs true to family stocks. We “are fearfully and wonderfully made” and more fearfully and profoundly governed by some superior organizer greater than we learn from books, semesters in schools, or have inoculated under a mortar board. This LAW holds good regardless of man’s impertinent interferences. By the end of six months the foetus is a foot long, weighs about a pound and a half. It can hiccough, move facial muscles, and sneeze. Its eyes are almost fully developed, but at best are only sensitive to light. Gaining dramatically in strength, the foetus now stretches and squirms, moving not only its arms and legs but also its body and head. Its chest MUSCLES, in preparation for breathing air, grow stronger every day. Its kidneys are working and its intestines are active despite there will normally be no evacuation until after delivery. Toward the end of the ninth month, or on about the 252nd day, the foetus is mature, ready to be born. The 267-day figure is only a statistical average; 15-day variations either way are commonplace. This is a small but complete human being. Any day now he (or she) will face its first great ordeal, the process of being born. Everything is in a sense still to come. And yet all admit its experience is a marvelous one. The whole process is a marvel of refinement that staggers imagination. One change prepares the way for the next; and the plan, for all its subtlety, is marked by incredible accuracy. This transformation is the unbelievable man[ 95 ]

ner in which one’s own AND EVERYBODY’S biography begins. Hair on head is continuous with scalp, scalp with skull, skull with skin of face; eyes, ears, nose, mouth to outside and inside of skull; skull to brain inside. Every bone is connected with every other bone; all bones with ligaments; ligaments with muscles; forming a frame work from which hang all internal organs and to which they are attached. Heart is connected to aorta, to arteries, to arterioles; venules to veins, back to heart, and from heart to lungs; back from lungs to heart thru which blood flow is continuous. The alimentary canal from mouth to urethra to rectum, every tissue cell from head to toe, glandular systems, ALL structures are chain continuity linked together, one into and becoming a part of all others, from one end to the other. ———— Medical practices, dealing externally with internal diseases, regard certain organs as SEPARATE, to be studied and treated as disorganized units. Heart, lungs, stomach, female organs, are a few. Each is considered a symptomatic and pathological section, independent of all others, with no association in relation to OTHER organs, as tho it hung in selfish space and acted flagrantly from any other, or had nothing to do with relationships with any other. Therapists of all kinds think of the brain, spinal cord, spinal nerves, nervous system as tho they were unbelievably independent units from each other, doing work intrepidly from any other, each refusing in some distant way to be unrelated to the balance of the anatomical and physiological body. All these ARE one continuity brain cell, expanding itself into one elongated brain-cell-nerve-fiber, becoming a continuous fiber in forming spinal cord. As this cable continues downward thru spinal canal, fibers efferently ramify into organic tissue cells of the entire body. Reaching periphery they expand themselves into tissue cells forming a net-work of which they are a part. Thru this continuity of efferent brain-spinal-cord-nerve-fiber-to-tissue-cell, there are afferent return fibers which have continuation from tissue cell into afferent nerve-fibers returning back to brain cell, completing a continuity circuit thru which material cycle flows a CONTINUITY of an immaterial mental impulse nerve force flow, which, EFferently activates function and AFferently transmits sense impressions which are interpreted in the mind in the brain. Ever since Adam and Eve (if there were such) both have [ 96 ]

been painted, pictured, described and talked about in the image of both male and female, like you and me. Since then: —kings and pawns —queens and maids —master and servant —employer and employee —tall and short —fat and lean —rich and poor —silks and rags —educated and ignorant —civilized and savage —city or jungle —black, white, yellow or red skins —barefoot or shod —be he Mohammedan, Buddhist, Christian, Christian Scientist, Mormon, Shintoist, or what-have-you in religions —world-wide political derelict —male and female, of the vertebrata, made He them have ALL been conceived, born, lived awhile and died, ALL ALIKE physically, organically, functionally, mentally, except for external deviations, environmental and educational adaptations. Continuity of sexes with production and re-production of species and families have maintained their stability, fixed, stable, eternal. In spite of external variable mental advantages or disadvantages mysteriously polished by man for man, the self-evident SAME LAW of construction in pattern continued to produce them for certain potential abilities. The law of continuity in male and female, conception, development of and delivery of babies, form and figure, division of sex organs, is amply portrayed in ideographs of Egyptians, teas relief carvings on the Borobodoer and Angkor Wat going back at least many centuries. Carvings, drawings and crude paintings on walls of prehistoric caves, go back beyond those. The general blue print patterns are the same then as of today. Slight adaptative changes have occurred but these were minor, not major. What is the history of 5,000 years of medicine? Insistent, persistent, incredible, lagging changes in theories, ideas, methods, drugs—like an endless gigantic, monumental, colossal series of incompetent parades; no two years, months or days alike. Fad after fad. To list their complex stream of conjectural hopes, with [ 97 ]

their failures, is beyond any man. They still seek and search. Why? Because the wide, long and devious educational road they have traveled and are dancing on today IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE OBJECT THEY WORK UPON AND WITH, WHICH DOES REPRESENT A LAW, and the devious educational by-passes they travel which possess NO LAW of even a distant approach. As of TODAY, their present-day road is getting farther away from ANY LAW than they ever have been. In spite of this BASIC man continuity, medical men have been trying for centuries to re-make man into their legendary ways with soulless external machinations. Male and female come and go as he and she have for centuries in countless millions. THE LAW OF CONTINUITY still prevails in open defiance of the scientific professional male or female. ———— One simple example, which explained, which taught US a lesson: Years ago, an electric street car stopped at the Top of Brady Hill in front of The PSC and refused to start. Motorman began to hunt for cause. He got his box of tools, took up the floor and LOOKED DOWN into the works. Failing to find THE CAUSE in THE BOWELS of the car, the motorman asked to use our phone. He called the barn and asked for John. We asked “Who is John?” “He is the expert. He is an electrical engineer, college degree, has a diploma.”

John came. John was wise. Rather than do what motorman did, as he did it; rather than waste more time, same way, John crawled UNDER the car and LOOKED UP into THE BOWELS of the car. He found nothing wrong. Observing all this, was a Western Union messenger boy. He stood on the side-walk. Taking an over-all perspective view, he finally said “John, what’s wrong WITH THE CAR?” “I don’t know,” said John. Finally this simple-minded BOY said: “You want to know WHAT’S WRONG, why your car won’t run? Want ME to TELL YOU? YOUR TROLLEY’S OFF.” This BOY, without two years pre-collegiate education, KNEW [ 98 ]

that electrical POWER had to come from ABOVE-DOWN, INSIDE-OUT, flow DOWN in normal quantity, thru electrical-nerves, TO motor-muscles, TO RUN the car, carrying a full load of human cargo. John put the TROLLEY ON, the car ran down the hill and let the messenger boy WALK BACK to the Western Union office WITHOUT a word of thanks. John DID NOT find THE CAUSE. The boy DID. Education took a licking. Such has always been the price men give its benefactors. It’s the price men pay for establishing better workable failure methods. Living is a continuous law-possessing internal process from moment of birth to moment of death. Every second, hour, day or year we are in constant and consistent law guiding motion—not one part individually but all parts co-ordinately. All anatomical matter is a CONTINUITY of substances; physiological functions are a CONTINUITY of actions. Concrete matter and abstract energy, they never are separated, here and there, here one place, somewhere else another. Neither comes or goes in hops, skips or jumps, now and then spasmodically, EXCEPT AND ONLY WHEN THE INTERNAL LAW OF CONTINUITY IS VIOLENTLY DISTURBED BEYOND ITS CAPACITY TO RETAIN ITS CONTINUITY. The practicing physician, therapist, under medical teachings, thinks of diseases IN PARTS, diagnoses and treatments OF PARTS, instead of thinking of THE PART being A CONTINUITY totality of all. THE LAW OF LIFE which built that body built ALL OF IT to be run AS ONE, ALL co-ordinating as one. Approaching any sick case, the physician or therapist looks for and finds localized symptoms and pathologies. THE PATIENT feels uncomfortable, suffers with aches and pains in some localized area. These are what the patient tells THE DOCTOR. Betwixt and between doctor and patient, they localize these at ONE organ—maybe heart, lungs, etc. Question then arises, WHAT to do and HOW to do TO THAT ORGAN to the satisfaction of case and doctor.

It makes a difference if the doctor approached the patient as composed of divisible units. This is followed by “What got into THIS ORGAN from outside which caused IT to get sick,” followed by what to give FROM OUTSIDE to that ONE [ 99 ]

organ. With THIS concept patient AND doctor have lost sight of the totality of the sick person.

(In other articles we have cited actual conditions which explain fully what we mean.) Contrary to THAT concept, when man thinks OF and studies man AS a continuity of structure, moved into action with a continuity of energy flowing into and thru ALL organs constantly and consistently—he then thinks of the over-all INTERNAL CAUSE of any abnormal function that could be produced in ANY DISTANT PARTICULAR SECTION OR ALL THE BODY and WHY SOME PART seemingly might be construed to be disconnected from ITS continuity source of life regardless of localization. Accurate knowledge of the ABOVE-DOWN INSIDE-OUT continuity flow of energy gives understanding of THE internal cause

[ 100 ]

of ANY dis-ease in ANY PART of the body, including mental or educational emotional disturbances or physical pathologies, simplifying THE CURE of ALL disease regardless WHERE LOCATED. This makes it possible to deduce ALL diseases to ONE common internal CAUSE and ONE common internal CURE from ONE common internal source.

Medical men, in “scientific research” have tried to create and re-create man as a sectional organism. They consider his heart, look at it anatomically, chemically, thru a microscope, to see what makes a normal organ abnormal. They try to change THE HEART from what they think they know it is when abnormal, to what they think it should be when normal. That it worked NORMALLY in conjunction with other organs WHEN NORMAL, is lost sight of. They specialize in the heart, become “heart specialists,” separate IT from the balance of the body physiologically, pathologically, treating it individually, surgically, and with drugs.

Medical men have become organic specialists. One by one, they have taken organ by organ, removed them from the balance of the total living body, studied them as parts; and the continuity of being a part of the entire internal law organizer that built them has been lost sight of. SUPPOSE IT WERE POSSIBLE— —to locate ONE area of living man —which WOULD account for ONE internal principle —which, IF INTERFERED WITH —was the ONE SPECIFIC CAUSE —OF EVERY POSSIBLE MANIFESTED SICKNESS OR DISEASE

—in living vertebrata —which, if correctly located —when logically corrected —accomplished THAT objective —thus proved itself, in which event, ONE DOCTOR could receive ALL cases and be a distinct service TO ALL DISEASES OF ALL KINDS REGARDLESS [ 101 ]

OF NATURE, DEGREE, WHERE LOCATED OR WHAT ORGAN WAS INVOLVED. This understanding of a common internal law service to sick mankind would be a boon and eliminate all external arbitrary, empiric medical confusions, complexities and failures, in contradictory diagnoses, treatments, and surgery, to try to get sick people well. To understand and know this procedure, man must be studied as ONE continuity totality, living as one entire system where the law controls the parts instead of outside man controlling the parts. ———— There IS and has been an INTERNAL living LAW which is and has been building and running human beings for an indefinite time on an indefinite number of people. Something INTERNAL can and does go wrong. Educated man, from OUTSIDE-IN, thinks HE is capable of “diagnosing” from OUTSIDE-IN and doing something from OUTSIDE-IN to rebuild the organ INSIDE and make it perform normally again. It would be common-sense to let THE INSIDE SOMETHING that built that organ and KNOWS HOW to run it, rebuild it FROM INSIDE. This CAN BE IF man admits there IS a continuity OF A LAW INSIDE which knows infinitely more about what, where, how and why there is an interference BETWEEN LAW INSIDE and organ INSIDE. It built it and knows how to run it and rebuild it if occasion necessitates. This single and simple law procedure would offset all EXTERNAL INTERFERENCES as complex as they are. This LAW OF LIFE—call it by what name you think appropriate—which perpetuates itself in and thru its work and works— GIVES life to new born babes, and other forms of living tissues. This same law TAKES life FROM human beings, depending upon age; or, whether thru accidents or sicknesses, it alone determines the home in which IT lived is no longer inhabitable. Unlooked-for or accidental violations distorting normal to abnormal relations of its structure, can and do reduce the life factor which cannot produce normal function. Restorations of this life factor are possible when RIGHT thing is done, RIGHT way, RIGHT place, at only RIGHT time. Law that intervenes either way, comes from ABOVE-DOWN, INSIDE-OUT. It cannot be artificially given from OUTSIDE-IN, BELOW-UPWARD, in drugs, injections, pills, treatments, regardless of therapist, physician or taken by patient himself. PALMER’S LAW OF LIFE emphasizes THIS LAW; explains HOW it works; presents proof THIS LAW can be extraneously interfered with; reports research case histories for LOCATIONS of [ 102 ]

interfering media and HOW to correct them. Nothing we think, say, or do, CAN improve the quantity or quality of THE ABSTRACT internal LAW itself, per se.

[ 103 ]

CHAPTER XVIII THE LAW OF UNITY CONTINUITY, as applied here, means a CONTINUOUS circuit of MATTER, FROM brain cell, its extension into brain-fiber, TO efferent nerve-fiber, there to expand itself into a tissue cell; and then return afferently into a nerve-fiber, returning TO its co-responding brain cell. Thru this CONTINUITY of matter, under normal and natural conditions, there flows a CONTINUITY of mental impulse nerve force FROM brain down thru nerve fiber TO tissue cell; FROM tissue cell back up TO brain cell; flowing EFFERENTLY as energy to MOVE matter into function; flowing AFFERENTLY as impression to be interpreted as sense feeling. When QUANTITY of mental impulse, in flow, is EQUAL to QUANTITY of matter, both formed into one composite UNITY, efferent and afferent, then there is A PERFECT unity BALANCE OF IMMATERIAL WITH MATERIAL. When THIS exists, there is a CONTINUITY OF LIFE, HEALTH, FUNCTION, MOTION, AND SENSE PERCEPTION. To UNBALANCE this BALANCE is to produce DIS-unity creating dis-ease. WHO knows exactly what this balance is within himself or in another, the immaterial or material? Education? No! Innate? Yes! Once any obstruction, impediment, pressure upon nerves IS released, the Innate law WITHIN will establish what IT alone knows to be the balance, then health is re-established. ONLY INNATE KNOWS what part is unbalanced in abstract and/or concrete. Educated man cannot ARTIFICIALLY AND EXTERNALLY force this balance. Only Innate INTERNALLY AND NATURALLY can. CONTINUITY fiber, brain cell via spinal cord, spinal nerve, to tissue cell —tissue cell, spinal nerves, spinal cord, back to brain cell —a continuity Innate immaterial and nerve material circuit, efferent and afferent. DIFFERENCE BETWEEN physiological and anatomical pressure and interference location. [ 104 ]

We cite an example: —appendicitis, hot, 104 degrees —hot at SUPERIOR specific point of vertebral subluxation interference, hot at POINT OF NERVE EXIT at 2nd lumbar enroute to appendix —hot at APPENDIX. Is it hot all along path of fibers in spinal cord BETWEEN atlas ABOVE and exit of fibers AT second lumbar? ADJUSTMENT ABOVE releases pressure, permits restoration of normal heat flow AT THAT POINT —restores normal heat AT EXIT at second lumbar —restores normal heat IN APPENDIX It must restore normal heat ALL ALONG PATH of continuity fibers BETWEEN location of pressure interference above, and below TO location of exit at second lumbar. NCM located interference—heat at atlas; we pick up some heat reading AT EXIT of this nerve at second lumbar, enroute to appendix. —there is no way we know of to prove heat fibers are hot BETWEEN atlas TO exit at second lumbar except thru results attained. —in dead people such proof is not possible. —in live people it cannot be proven. PROOF of the continuity fiber system, in contrast to the old sympathetic-128 brain-ganglionic-reflex theory of function, is that we do adjust at atlas or axis AND DO restore a continuity flow of mental impulse supply to every organic structure, normal and abnormal, in the living human body. This would not and could not be true if function were reflexed from one ganglion to another The Chiropractic physiological proof denies medical anatomical observations because the living dis-ease and restoration of health is obvious; the other is so minute the ganglionic reflex paths cannot be physiologically detected or dissected in living OR dead bodies. [ 105 ]

CHAPTER XIX THE LAW OF SUPPLY AND DEMAND Unless destructively perverted by man, universal supply and demand balance; climates, energies and matter, heat and cold, clouds and rains, vegetations and animals, male and female sexes. Supply IS FIXED and cannot be augmented, modified or diminished by any part of the whole in its natural relation to the entire balance. Once the “miracle” of human law of supply and demand becomes established, no section can invent change. The greatest denial lies in the lonely educated mind of man, for little is known of him, by him, in his relation to this law. By disparagement, starvation, repressions, forced substitutes, and stunning hammer blows of denials, the free, unrestricted, and unlimited mind of man is too often pursued, roped, raped, blunted, stunted and drugged. This human law of supply and demand is the most valuable contribution to the welfare of a sick world. We understand why a medical system was built on quicksands of artificial patterns which destroy his relation to a sick world. We oppose it to preserve the one thing most important for them. If this glory of man can be forever stilled, we are lost. This law is a question of approach, whether it be commerce, buying and selling, production of the human family or its health necessities. In the human equation supply PRECEDES. Mortals must realize supply is always present, ready to serve. One hundred per cent supply is exhaustless everywhere, especially in man. In abnormal conditions, some part or parts of material forms, do receive LESS from supply. With a SICK individual, supply of mental impulse energy is normal while demand is less; or, demands receive less from normal supply. LIFE is a balance. Health is normal supply meeting normal demands of the LAW OF LIFE. Every “mystery” which science does not understand in this equation, points to a larger “mystery” of why such is—the little known law of supply and demand which he cannot control, direct or govern from outside-in, below-upward. In a live, healthy person, abstract mental impulse SUPPLY and action demands, in matter, are equal. In an UNhealthy person, abstract mental impulse SUPPLY and motion function demands [ 106 ]

are UNequal, where SUPPLY IS normal and demand is abnormal getting LESS than it should receive. Somewhere BETWEEN supply and demand there is a reduction, a block, a short circuit, which prevents SUPPLY meeting DEMAND. If that which interferes, preventing SUPPLY getting thru to MEET DEMAND, is found and corrected, SUPPLY is ready, willing, anxious to meet DEMAND. If, as, when and where THIS IS done, demand WILL BE supplied and health WILL BE restored. An “electrical” globe SHOULD deliver a steady continuity bright light. Instead, it could be spasmodically flickering off and on between maximum of light and maximum of darkness. You WANT, need and demand full quality of steady light. The “spasmodically flickering” LIGHT and/or darkness can be studied, diagnosed and treated many ways with external methods experimented with. The GLOBE might be massaged, soaked in various well-advertised medicines guaranteed to “relieve” symptoms. After endless series of expensive and discouraging failures light and darkness continue to spasmodically and alternately flicker. (In this respect it is like a heart.) In behind GLOBE, connected by a continuity of wires, is a steady SUPPLY of consistent flow of abstract electricity. If that SUPPLY of electrical current does have a normal continuous flow INTO GLOBE, there will be a steady flow of light. Common sense proves the globe is loose in its socket. An adjustment screws it tight. Light NOW is steady because DEMAND has been SUPPLIED. Between wires AND globe was a subluxated contact. Why fiddle, fool, tinker and experiment, treating flickering light—symptoms—or the globe—as a pathological specimen? Another example:

The tank’s SUPPLY of water is full. Pipe leading FROM tank TO its faucet is full of water. Faucet at tank is partially open, partially closed. LESS water than normal demand reaches trough for thirsty cattle. Water trickles, sputters or dribbles into trough. Cattle get less to meet demand. What to do to save cattle?

We can diagnose the afflicted abnormality of nozzle, in the trough, as [ 107 ]

“trickleitis, sputteritis, or dribbleitis.” We can begin treating nozzle, anywhere between trough back up to tank, none of which gets MORE supply thru faucet into trough, which increases the demands. Cattle get

sick, dry up, and die. Common sense will ADJUST closed faucet, to a fully opened faucet, let full SUPPLY capacity of tank get down thru faucet into trough, where supply EQUALS demands and demands ARE balanced by supply. Cattle drink, get well and live. We located CAUSE, CORRECTED IT. What more NEED be done? What more CAN BE done?

How can one agitate or stimulate darkness in a globe and make more light, without increasing natural supply PRODUCES light? How can one violently stir 10 gallons of water, in a trough, there should be 500 gallons present? How does stimulating 10 gallons make 10 into 500? When a room should be 72° temperature, and thermometer shows 50°, how can one wrap a rag around bulb of thermometer and raise temperature IN ROOM to 72°? Can the sick person get well by becoming an alcoholic without suffering from after effects of the external artificial stimulant? Is that the way to force demand to become a normal supply?

[ 108 ]

CHAPTER XX THE LAW OF PAR There IS NO LAW in anything medical, except radiography. It utilizes the EDISON LAW OF OHM. Diagnosing skin or surface eruptions physicians are fairly accurate. Diagnosing what is UNDER the skin or INSIDE the body, physicians disagree except in “consultations” where they agree even tho they disagree. In prognosis, they can’t tell how close to or how far from death, but hope the drug reacts as they WANT IT TO. “We will try this and if that doesn’t work, we’ll try something else.” No physician KNOWS the internal re-action of any ONE drug in any ONE patient. “What is one man’s meat, is another’s poison.” The potency reaction is unknown with any sick person. It is by-guess-and-by-God rule of thumb. In “exploratory” surgery, they sometimes find what wasn’t and miss what was. Why then “explore”? The old-time horse-and-buggy doctor used more common sense, gave less drugs and saved more lives than the modern “specialist” who knows more but benefits fewer patients. Medicine, today, is specialization of one doctor with one organ—heart, lungs, stomach, liver, intestines, bowels, female organs, intestines, eye, ear, nose, throat, kidneys. He is so up on ONE organ that he has lost sight of ITS being A PART OF THE WHOLE. A “specialist” is one who knows more and more about less and less. There IS NO LAW OF DRUGS. They come today and go tomorrow. The fad of the hour has its drug of the hour. ALL are one of two kinds: (a) they stimulate an inhibited condition (b) they inhibit a stimulated condition. Beyond this premise, he HOPES to give a possible right drug, for an UNKNOWN quantity of an abnormal condition. The heart beats (a) normally, (b) too fast, (c) too slow, or (d) stops entirely. If too fast a drug paralyzes, inhibiting muscular actions down to LESS beats. If too slow, a drug stimulates, whips up muscular pulsations to MORE beats. If all muscles stop beating, patient dies of “heart FAILURE.” [ 109 ]

No one man, outside the body of another, KNOWS what par of ANY function IS in any organ, viscus or gland, regardless of treatment given from OUTSIDE-IN, BELOW-UP, except in that low percentage where artificial accidents occur in spite of everything MUCH he does AS he does it. Any opinion, theory or method of approach of the homeo-PATH, allo-PATH or osteo-PATH leads to large failure because this extraneous PATH is reversed from the internal natural road of life. All done on this route is arbitrary, empirical in diagnosis or treatment upon which NO TWO can or do agree. There IS one internal controlling factor—the Innate Intelligence within, flowing from ABOVE-DOWN, INSIDE-OUT, which DOES KNOW the par of EVERY function in every organ, viscus and gland in all parts of the living body IT lives in. It WILL and DOES respond and restore life and health when all channels of communication are free between internal Innate above and external function below, between brain and body. This IS a common denominator in ALL people alike—therefore IS a LAW. This chiroprac-TIC law of par is what makes man TICK when well and returns health when sickness exists. When this adjustment is made the percentage of returned health is intentional and very high because of the little the chiropractor does, as he does it. This is a principle and practice with which ALL chiropractors CAN agree if they WANT TO get sick people well. Saturday Evening Post ( 1-25-58) has an article “HOW DOCTORS ARE MADE.” Dr. George Packer Berry, Dean of Harvard Medical College, is quoted: “He tells incoming students, ‘The ONLY difference between you and us teachers is that some of us have had A LONGER TIME TO MAKE MISTAKES’.” Any doctor, of any kind, including some of our profession, who gives EXTERNAL physiotherapy, naturopathic, psychosomatic, psychotherapeutic treatments, in ANY manner, working from OUTSIDE-IN, has THE SAME premise. Any, every and all forms of external treatments for diseases, financially feast upon an unknown internal par energy level, empirically and arbitrarily, by whipping up or slowing down a natural internal par level irrationally arrived at. It is THIS INTERNAL PAR LEVEL that every physician is compelled to rely upon in spite of his drugs, if patient gets well. No doctor, of any kind, KNOWS the PAR LEVEL of ANY function in ANY organ in ANY body. If low, he WHIPS IT UP by stimulation to an arbitrary PAR which he thinks PAR should be— he MIGHT go too far. If he does, he empirically SLOWS IT DOWN by inhibition BELOW a PAR to where he thinks PAR should be. [ 110 ]

Up and down go drugs AND treatments, up and down goes par. Eventually, in spite of his drugs, the internal Innate constantly fights either or both.

PALMER’S LAW OF LIFE proves an INTERNAL ABSOLUTE AND POSITIVE PAR STANDARD. Only INTERNAL LAW which created that body, starts it running, keeps it running, KNOWS WHAT IS PAR OF ANY FUNCTION IN ANY AND ALL ORGANS. Our INTERNAL LAW OF LIFE leaves par to the intelligent energy THAT LIVES WITHIN THAT BODY. The chiropractor does not, never has, cannot assume to KNOW WHAT IS PAR LEVEL OF FUNCTION, neither does he DO ANYTHING to force it up or down.

The chiropractor, WHO KNOWS THIS LAW OF LIFE, does ONLY ONE simple single thing, always with same intent, viz., unblocking channels of PAR transmission BETWEEN the exhaustless memory storehouse ABOVE, where PAR IS ALWAYS internally normal, TO where PAR is EXTERNALLY ABNORMAL, making possible a healthy UNION OF PAR from epiphery ABOVE to periphery BELOW, all of which is an internal normal and natural process. [ 111 ]

CHAPTER XXI THE LAW OF BALANCE Within the realm of chiropractic research, conducted in The BJP Chiropractic Research Clinic on actual cases, we more and more realize that if we are to unravel the inner workings of causes and cures of dis-ease, we must understand inner workings of life, function, what is normal. The human organism is a fantastically complex series of interrelated functions. It is unscientific to regard many diseases as disorders of a set of functioning parts when they are a simple condition of a single organ. Thus a condition of an over or under-working kidney may be found in some other remote part of the body whose workings have to date been dimly misunderstood and misinterpreted. When normal behavior of any organ becomes clear its associated relationships with other conditions in other organs will become revealed. When all “natural” parts ARE balanced, conditions are normal. When one organic factor becomes unbalanced in relationship with other organic factors which constitute health, conditions of abnormal sicknesses occur. A study of intelligence, energies directed and governed by intelligence, quantities of matter moved into action by those energies, directed by intelligence, reveals that when each is balanced with other, all elements in action produce balanced normal conditions. When one factor is in excess, or minus, in relation to other components, we have an unbalanced ratio to each other and an upset occurs. The Supreme Governing Director balances climates, heat and cold, moisture and dryness, winds and calms, seasons, crops, growths, and lives of living people. To upset any one in relation with any other one or more, is to unbalance all relationships into abnormal states of that which such would produce. As a result of World Wars I and II and the Korean War, over 25 million MALES were decimated. This UNbalanced the ratio of males and females, which universally was averaged to be 51 per cent females and 49 per cent males. This degression suggested that male occupations killed more than females. Since wars have ceased, percentage of MALE babies has materially INcreased and FEMALE babies has DEcreased The Universal [ 112 ]

LAW OF BALANCE is at work. The three great factors producing normal balance, are: (a) intelligent direction (b) quantity of energy (c) proper quantity of matter When properly mixed as to time and place there is proper quality of our weather. Universally there is (d) sufficient intelligence in the abstract (e) sufficient energy in space and time (f) to keep the right amount of matter (g) in normal rotation of movements (h) to produce normal conditions on earth. To UNbalance ratio of energy TO matter, is to UNbalance all factors producing abnormal conditions on earth. To absorb, condense, concentrate or squeeze much free energy out of free space into an imprisoned A or H bomb, is to denude free atmospheric space of a normal distribution; and to explode this excess at one time, one place, upsets climates of hot and cold, moistures, wind velocities, rains, producing abnormally spaced flash-floods, tornadoes, hurricanes, heavy blizzards, freezing Florida, unseasonable blizzards, rivers solidly frozen, such as proven in 1957 to 1958. Man has artificially UNbalanced balanced weathers by squeezing energies out of free space and compressing them into small space, then liberating them in huge quantities at one specific place and starving huge other territories from which they were stolen. Crops freeze, cattle die, man freezes, and suffering prevails. Hardships occur in many ways, many places, to satisfy the Mad War God of Destruction. Man can’t artificially UNbalance universal forces and expect universal forces to balance to suit scientific war demands of man. This last year (1957-58) is prima facie proof. Man can’t artificially UNbalance “nature” and expect “nature” to balance “natural” products within himself with healthy life and living. The same Universal Law Of Balance occurs in every living and growing unit. The same three factors are requisite in man: (a) Intelligent direction (b) energy values (c) matter equivalents When these three ARE balanced in time-space, normal living is reasonably the result. INTELLIGENCE, per se, is abstract and cannot be displaced, [ 113 ]

absorbed, condensed or squeezed out of environment any time or place, it being a fixed factor which man cannot control. But when once its energy reaches matter, it can be reduced in action, thru matter, in reduced motion. Once energies ENTER matter, they CAN BE perverted by being diminished IN QUANTITY FLOW into and thru matter, UNbalancing ACTION of matter, UNbalancing products and by-products of actions of matter. Matter then takes on changed forms, sizes, speeds, deliveries, called diseases. To RESTORE UNbalanced sick function to balanced healthy function, requires: (a) a correction of the interference (b) to flow of life factor (c) between its source and its expression (d) to balance normal quantity of motion (e) in normal quantity of matter (f) to reproduce normal QUALITY of products (g) issued by matter in motion. Energy, itself an abstract, can be UNbalanced once it enters body via brain from where it flows thru spinal cord, spinal nerves, to organic matter to put it into motion to sustain living activities. Between brain and body is a spinal column conceived to protect channels of transmission and distribution of energy flows. In unwise moments, man strains, wrenches, twists, falls, has accidents with (a) concussion of forces (b) external invading (c) internal resisting invasion (d) greater overpowering weaker (e) subluxates a vertebra (f) occludes a foramen (g) thru which transmission lines pass (h) produces pressures upon nerves (i) short circuits transmission flows (j) reducing carrying capacity (k) of energy reaching organic matter, (1) reduces rhythmic speeds of muscular motion (m) per units of time, (n) unbalances quality of products they should deliver (o) called disease. To make possible a restoration is to reverse the law of cause, viz: correct subluxated vertebra [ 114 ]

restore normal size of foramen release pressure upon transmission lines permit normal quantity flow of energy permitting balance between energy and matter reproducing health and life. Man, in exaggerated eagerness to go beyond man, wanting to annihilate space, visit the moon, travel miles high, overlooks the undiscovered world within himself, or what makes HIM tick. He looks for everything OUTSIDE himself, ignoring the untraveled world within. He UNbalances outside world because of his dissatisfaction of abnormal unbalances inside himself, trying to account for HIS unbalanced internal self, blaming the world outside for his INSIDE unbalanced functions. There exists a potential balance between matter which dies after which living scavengers feast upon dead matter, that life can live. If all scavengers were eliminated, life would cease. Man needs germs, microbes and parasites. They live in him keeping his halls and alley-ways clean. Here are examples of how man upsets balances: In New Zealand Capt. James Cook introduced five pigs. Their descendants 100 years later multiplied into a national nuisance. Early English and Scottish settlers imported English rabbits, making their killing illegal. Today, despite full time extermination of several hundred government rabbiters, the rabbit pest takes thousands of acres out of cultivation each year. The country’s most serious plant life pest is gorse, which runs wild over many farms. Memories of English for jam led to the importation of blackberry bushes to kill off gorse. Today they are as destructive as the pest they came to eliminate. To keep down blackberry bushes, goats were turned loose. These went wild and multiplied until the government hires hunters to keep their depredations under control. It’s the same everywhere. Somebody doesn’t like something, so he imports something from some other country to destroy it. Soon the importation becomes the pest, so something else is imported to destroy that. We didn’t want gophers so we imported the weasel to dig into their holes and kill them. Today the weasel is the evil. This for that, then that for this—so it goes ad infinitum, ad nauseum. The same game is played with diseases. A “new” disease is discovered. A new cure is developed. Soon that cure develops another sick disease for which another cure is needed. Man chases himself from one cure, to cure the cure of the disease the cure [ 115 ]

produced. It’s a case of the rat and rabbit farm, or dog chasing his tail, endless vicious circles unbalancing disease with unbalanced cures which produce another unbalanced disease, etc. Down thru the ages, under external medication, outside-in, below-upward man is constantly clashing with internal flow from above-down, inside-out, producing a consistently stymied opposition of one force against another, producing an incredible declining man.

[ 116 ]

CHAPTER XXII THE LAW OF ACHES AND PAINS We are aware of hunger ONLY when hungry; of thirst when thirsty; desire to urinate or defecate when there is a need. We are conscious of heart ONLY when it beats irregularly, too fast or too slow. We give our stomach a second thot when we have cramps. We are aware of lungs when breathing becomes spasmodic or asthmatic. We give no study to walking until legs are paralyzed. When bowels are “constipated” we know we have trouble. Joints have free lubricated movement except when they get swollen with “rheumatism” when we have “aches and pains” warnings. We ignore senses of seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting and feeling except when we have partially or totally lost them. Why mention this? What IS, exists by virtue of A LAW which governs it. What keeps all functions regulated and under control when we are NOT aware of them? What is THAT SOMETHING, flowing BELOW UP altho all inside us, which we recognize as “aches and pains” when NORMAL FUNCTION IS ABSENT? What significance are “aches and pains” to THE LAW OF LIFE? What importance do they play in the over-all scheme of a harmonious running of this human assembly line organization? Is it vital or necessary TO HAVE “aches and pains,” or is it justifiable for some to choke, block them with immunity? Is it in the interests of health, or life, to drug them to death, or is their presence an indication they come for a purpose? If so, is there something that can be done naturally to reconstruct the workings of the line shaft organization to make them impossible? ———— With NORMAL peripheral organic function, there IS NORMAL peripheral impressions of sensation, of which, for the most part, we are not aware. With ABNORMAL peripheral organic function, there ARE PERIPHERAL impressions of sensation of which we become acutely aware, which travel UPWARD to brain where mind interprets them as “aches and pains.” “Aches and pains” exist in degrees of mental suffering depending upon degree of ABNORMAL peripheral dis-ease from which they have origin. “Aches and pains” flow UPWARD thru AFferent half of the [ 117 ]

energy functional cycle, FROM tissue cell TO mind in brain. They are warning signals, a red-flash-light, cry for help, danger signs, distress signals, telling us something is ABNORMAL BELOW at peripheral end of LOWER EFferent half of functional cycle BETWEEN brain and tissue cell. Mind in brain, interpreting INCOMING signals, realizes need for help at LOWER end of EFferent half of functional cycle caused by interference to normal quantity flow DOWNWARD which IS BLOCKED somewhere BELOW between mind in brain AND diseased area in tissue structure at LOWER EFferent end. The nervous system of the vertebrata, including man, is like a two-halves-sided circle with a brain in center ABOVE, with an organic system in center BELOW, thru which flows on both halves a continuity of intelligent energy with function flowing DOWNWARD on one side and sense perception flowing UPWARD on other side, TO brain. ———— What does average person DO when he has “aches and pains”? He takes aspirin, anacin, bufferin or some other of many forms of external medications or treatments to suppress, paralyze, deaden, dull ALL sense of flow feeling between LOWER EFferent disease AND UPPER brain interpretations. All aspirin, anacin, bufferin or any other external treatment does is TO COMPLETELY SHUT OFF, PARALYZE OR BLOCK ALL sense messages traveling thru nerves FROM ORGAN BELOW TO BRAIN ABOVE. Drugs CHEMICALLY block carrying capacities. Absent differences between normal sensations and “aches and pains” reduced quantities, prove the fluctuations. Peripheral DIS-ease, from which ABNORMAL sense impressions are equivalent, is caused by A MECHANICAL BLOCK on EFferent side ———— Management of a manager and workings of a MARSHALL FIELD STORE is apropos. It is a huge structure, many floors, basement to roof, many departments on each floor, many executives, a Board of Directors, a President. From their suite of rooms UPSTAIRS, TOP FLOOR, President and Board of Directors have direct contact thru special two-way switchboards to every executive in every department DOWNSTAIRS, even to basement. Every clerk, executive, floor manager, from basement BELOW to President UPSTAIRS is in continuous constant communicating contact with the final Supreme Guiding Genius on TOP floor who has the last word. This two-way inter-communicating system loses no time [ 118 ]

flashing incoming requests and outgoing answers and commands, FROM all points TO all points, UP TO DOWN AND DOWN TO UP. Close intimacy between store and public, customers and clerks, receiving and delivering, buying and selling, sometimes makes mistakes, accidents happen, errors occur which upset the smoothly run organization. Each such organization has a fully equipped, intelligently manned, competent staff in charge of THE COMPLAINT DEPARTMENT with its “aches and pains.” Every complaint is listened to courteously and corrected if received and recognized as such. No matter how large or small, important or unimportant, each is weighed and evaluated. If any clerk, department, or executive ridiculed or belittled these complaints “aches and pains,” or saw fit to throw them in the waste, customer would be disgusted and company would suffer good-will and future business. President UPSTAIRS TRIES TO conduct affairs DOWNSTAIRS to have NO “aches and pains” complaints. NO complaints indicate everything DOWNSTAIRS is running smoothly as originally intended, orders are supplied and functional orders are obeyed. Suppose something goes hay-wire between store below and higher-ups, should management UPSTAIRS be informed? Do they NEED know so they will issue intelligent orders for corrections DOWNSTAIRS? How can UPSTAIRS KNOW unless they get and receive and are in constant communication UPSTAIRS WITH all parts DOWNSTAIRS? Suppose some rabble-rouser outside distorts, switches pulls fone jacks out of alignment, cuts off harmonious communication between DOWNSTAIRS AND UPSTAIRS, so UPSTAIRS CAN’T KNOW what to do to repair deficiencies, then what? How is management to get information if somebody BELOW dopes the wires with aspirin, anacin, bufferin or other “aches and pains” killers, so cries for help cannot get UPSTAIRS? It’s like any one of a thousand kinds of accidents in your home. Fire starts, your fone is “dead,” somebody has drugged and doped fone so you can’t get your message thru. Is it, or is it not important you get message thru? In case of sickness in your body, is it or is it not important you get “aches and pains” messages thru to your mind so the fire department UP THERE knows WHERE fire IS, to know HOW and WHEN to put it out? Why must YOU artificially and medically meddle and put your communicating system out of order? ———— [ 119 ]

It IS vital: (a) there be a constant and consistent continuity flow of mental impulse energy supply FROM UPSTAIRS BRAIN TO DOWNSTAIRS (b) from Controlling Officer to every executive organ in your body (c) that each executive be in communication in every department in store BELOW to every department BELOW (d) and, all departments closely inter-related and interassociated be in contact with the Guiding Mind upstairs. There needs be a 24-hour, every second, guard on duty with clear channel communication between all parts. When all runs smoothly, between ABOVE-BELOW, INSIDE-OUT, switchboard is silent. In event of “aches and pains” between OUTSIDE-IN, BELOW-UPWARD, it is important that fact be relayed at once TO officers in charge above. In absence of or inability of getting “aches and pains” complaints from consumer BELOW to management ABOVE, confusion increases, tempers get out of control, departments downstairs go frantic because THEY CANNOT RECEIVE INSTRUCTIONS FROM UPSTAIRS BECAUSE UPSTAIRS ISN’T GETTING INFORMATION FROM DOWNSTAIRS, of what is wrong, where and how. ———— Now that we know the importance of “aches and pains” and WHY they occur in sick people, vital question is, what is the natural, normal and correct thing to do to alleviate and reduce “aches and pains”? (a) Correct CAUSE of dis-ease from which come “aches and pains” (b) When ANY function, in ANY organ, loses NORMAL duties, there is flashed to mind IN brain, a consciousness that something is wrong which needs be corrected. In such occasions, man begins to do one of two things, based on his understandings: (c) looks for something OUTSIDE which caused something INSIDE to go wrong producing a dis-ease (d) takes some drug or treatment from OUTSIDE to change some dis-ease Inside to force it to get back to where he thinks it ought to be (e) then’s when he changes diet, takes drugs to change [ 120 ]

heart beat, decreases hyperacidity to alkalinity in stomach, inhales vapors to make breathing easier, stimulates muscles in legs, takes something to force movement in bowels, rubs liniment on swollen joints, down thru the endless gauntlet of a conglomerate armamentarium Or, if he uses common-sense (which is very uncommon) he thinks logically and acts naturally, (f) recognizes INSIDE factor that WAS NORMAL when IT WAS. (g) If it WAS normal at one time, without OUTSIDE remedial interferences, why can’t it be normal again, directing normal control FROM INSIDE (h) What was IT, INSIDE, which ran all organs NORMALLY when they WERE normal? (i) IF there IS something INSIDE which DID, what can WE DO to RESTORE that normal control again? (j) Is it wrong to once again DEPEND UPON THAT SOMETHING INSIDE which gave us everything we needed, when it WAS smoothly regulating all function? (k) Where, how and why did THAT SOMETHING go wrong (1) which created “aches and pains” we think must be subdued by drugging? (m) What is wrong in thinking MORE of THAT SOMETHING INSIDE, and LESS OF THINKING TO DO THINGS FROM OUTSIDE? (n) Instead of doubling INSIDE BURDEN, by addition of drugs from outside, in addition to disease inside, suppose we make it possible for THAT SOMETHING inside to correct that which is WRONG INSIDE? [ 121 ]

CHAPTER XXIII THE LAW OF ONE ONLY DIS-EASE, CAUSE AND CURE In MEDICINE, there are 18,000, more or less, possible combinations, compilations, and complex observations of symptoms and pathologies, all of which are assembled, re-assembled, and diagnosed, by an arbitrary and empiric state of mind, systems or minds of medical men, any or all of which could be right or wrong. Upon their diagnosis depend treatments and/or results or failures. LIFE AND HEALTH is the ability to have NATURAL AND NORMAL internal QUANTITY of muscular motion, automation, locomotion, be an auto-mobile in all its movable body parts, per the unit of life’s span of time. To REDUCE any QUANTITY of muscular motion BELOW internal par level of its par QUANTITY of force, power, energy of free nerve force flow, is to REDUCE in exact ratio its functional activity in QUANTITY of motion, thereby DECREASING its QUALITY of products or by-products, singly or in combinations issued by that action, as predetermined by the REDUCED or slowed-down speed of motion per given units of time involved, producing a corresponding PARALYSIS OF MOTION. To REDUCE energy, forte, or power QUANTITY is to SLOW DOWN action and motion, SLOW DOWN product by essencing some, diluting others, a state of paralysis, called dis-ease by the Chiropractor and diagnosed as disease by an M.D. There is only ONE dis-ease, regardless of where or what organ or organs involved: PARALYSIS OF ACTION. This boils all professional confusions and conflicts down to a knowledge of accuracy of absolute correctness of analysis and curing, to the Internal Innate Governor-General IN man. So long as Innate powers-that-be, internal to the sick, KNOW exactly WHERE paralysis IS, in WHAT DEGREE it exists, and HOW MUCH quantity of force IS BELOW or above PAR, and has THE INTERNAL ABILITY TO RE-ESTABLISH that par level from BELOW PAR UP, then it matters not to any other external second person whether his diagnostic guess is right or wrong. In CHIROPRACTIC there is but ONE CONDITION of matter which creates ONE dis-ease, regardless of organ or organs con[ 122 ]

cerned, degree of minor or major importance, or suffering occasioned thereby, viz., (a) A CONCUSSION of forces (b) where EXTERNAL INVASION overcomes INTERNAL RESISTANCE (c) which MISALIGNS one vertebra in relationship with its co-respondents above and below (d) producing A VERTEBRAL SUBLUXATION (e) which, because of such misalignment, occludes a foramen (f) thru which nerves have exits (g) CONVEYING AND TRANSPORTING an abstract nerve force, energy or power (h) REDUCING ITS QUANTITY FLOW (i) SLOWING DOWN its quantity speed of action (j) per a given UNIT OR UNITS of time (k) creating A STATE OF PARALYSIS of muscular function (1) DIMINISHING VALUE of its products or by-products (m) including prolonged chronic time change FROM ACUTE TO CHRONIC conditions (n) CALLED dis-ease In CHIROPRACTIC there is but ONE CONDITION of matter which needs correction, viz., (o) one NATURAL REVERSED MOVEMENT of an external correction (p) AN ADJUSTMENT of vertebral subluxation (q) OPENING occlusion (r) RELEASING PRESSURES upon nerves (s) permitting A RESTORATION of normal QUANTITY flow of abstract mental impulse nerve force thru MATERIAL structures (t) FLOWING FROM above down, inside out (u) which, when it reaches periphery of those nerves, (v) RESTORES PAR LEVEL of normal muscular activity (w) producing NORMAL products (x) GIVEN TIME to rebuild, reproducing a condition called health (y) all of which TAKES PLACE INTERNALLY WITHOUT artificial, unnatural, external interference other than that mentioned. (z) letting INTERNAL INNATE INTELLIGENCE do everything else that automatically follows. [ 123 ]

So broad is the field of conjecture and so simple is the comprehension, we re-state this issue: LIFE is motion. That which MOTIVATES ACTIONS in vertebrata is nerve force flow, THRU muscles, contracting them, shortening their stroke, followed by a relaxation period lengthening the stroke, moving that TO WHICH they are attached. Series of alternate RELAXATIONS, following a series of alternate CONTRACTIONS, makes possible a series of sequential contractions, CAUSING MOTION in body matter. (When there is NO contraction, there is prolapsis. When there IS NO relaxation, there is contracture.) There is only ONE abstract energy which exercises power in a living body—mental impulse free nerve force flow guided where to go and what to do upon arrival. There is only ONE substance of matter which contracts and relaxes in a living body—muscles; and muscles are in super-abundance everywhere in every part. MUSCLES, contracting AND relaxing in body organs, PRODUCE A PRODUCT such as saliva in mouth, gastric juice in stomach, bile in liver, splenic fluid in spleen; also urination, defecation, movement of arms, legs, eye-balls, etc. Different KINDS of products are as varied and as multiple as there are different KINDS of organs in production, the totality of which we call a living human body. If mental impulse free nerve force FLOW is UP to normal par QUANTITY, muscles contract and relax in normal par rhythmic QUANTITY speed PER UNIT OF TIME, thereby issuing organic and glandular co-ordination of normal par QUALITY of products. If mental impulse free nerve force FLOW is BELOW normal par QUANTITY, muscles SLOW DOWN SPEED OF ACTION, PER UNIT OF TIME, reducing organic and glandular QUANTITY AND QUALITY of products, per units of time involved. THIS is in-coordination of dis-ease. There is only ONE dis-ease—paralysis of muscular motion. RESTORE below par normal QUANTITY of nerve force flow, and there occurs a RESTORED below par frequency of speed of muscular contractions and relaxations, UP TO normal par level to quantity and quality of mechanical motions, which produces organic and glandular products, after which dis-ease, regardless of organ, organs or combinations of effects, becomes normal, allowing units of time to repair damages done. SIMPLE! There are countless percentages of REDUCED QUANTITIES of nerve force flow, thru countless percentages of nerve fibers, going TO countless percentages of organs which mingle and inter[ 124 ]

mingle, REDUCING frequency of QUANTITY of contractions and relaxations to countless muscles, producing countless REDUCED quantities and qualities of products, involving countless units of time, called symptoms and pathologies. No wonder diagnosticians become confused. NO QUANTITY of mental impulse supply IS DEATH. SOME QUANTITY of nerve force flow is some midway decreased flow BETWEEN life and death. NORMAL QUANTITY of internal energy flow equals NORMAL functional motion which IS LIFE AND HEALTH. The secret, NOW known, is to make it possible TO RESTORE BELOW-PAR QUANTITY to increase up to NORMAL PAR QUANTITY by correcting the obstruction, impediment, obstacle factor which reduces it FROM normal TO abnormal. AFTER this correction, INTERNAL INTELLIGENCE directs INTERNAL FLOWS from source to expression, producing INTERNAL HEALTH. What more than this can a second external man do for the internal of another? Under direct INTERNAL intentional intelligent control of Innate Intelligence WITHIN THAT BODY, right QUANTITY of mental impulse supply WILL BE AND IS directed to RIGHT organs at RIGHT TIME, in RIGHT QUANTITY, to produce RIGHT quantities and qualities of physical functional properties (efferently), and sense perceptions (afferently), coordinating all to issue a one-ness of a live, healthy body. Coordination of over-all QUANTITY of force flow pre-determines over-all QUALITY of functional life and health. Dis-ease, its cause, and cure correction, IS AS SIMPLE AS THAT! [ 125 ]

CHAPTER XXIV THE LAW OF WHERE AND WHEN For years we held, and even today (1958) do still hold that the ONLY vertebral subluxation, which is the MAJOR cause of all dis-ease is atlas or axis, with its Major occlusion, Major pressure, Major interference upon spinal cord of some of its multiple fibers, between brain above and all its body below. It is in this occipito atlantal axial area our research still maintains the cervical specific major is A SUBLUXATION AND NEEDS ADJUSTMENT. After years of maintaining this area as THE SPECIFIC CAUSE, we developed another and new avenue of research, viz: the neurocalograph, which shunts across neurocalometer readings, automatically graphing them on a running continuous sheet of paper, eliminating any and all human errors and variables he might and too frequently did inject into what he thought took place when watching the NCM by eye and mentally interpreting what he thot he saw. Upon the advent of this permanently recording instrument, we began to take pre and post FULL LENGTH VERTEBRAL COLUMN READINGS, BEFORE ADJUSTMENT, AFTER ADJUSTMENT, AND AT FREQUENT INTERVALS LATER. This was done to determine whether or not the superior cervical specific ADJUSTMENT was or was not eliminating not only its own interference readings, but those inferior to that in any and all inferior places readings were recorded on graphed neurocalograph. IF, after an indeterminate time, usually days, weeks or months, we found the superior specific reading PERMANENTLY checked out and STAYED OUT, but there still remained ONE OR MORE inferior readings, recorded and graphed on neurocalograph, then this or those readings WERE MISALIGNMENTS AND NEEDED CORRECTION with same adjusting technique as we did on superior specific vertebral SUBLUXATION which WE ADJUSTED. (At this point, note difference in terminology. The superior WAS A VERTEBRAL SUBLUXATION AND WAS GIVEN AN ADJUSTMENT. THE INFERIOR WAS A VERTEBRAL MISALIGNMENT AND WAS GIVEN A CORRECTION.) ONLY way to know and prove WHEN an inferior misalignment needs correction, below a superior atlas or axis subluxation, is by [ 126 ]

pre and post full length spinal NEUROCALOGRAPH readings which prove WHEN and WHERE there still exists an INFERIOR local interference AFTER ALL SUPERIOR (atlas or axis) interferences HAVE CHECKED OUT AND REMAIN OUT, after which the INFERIOR misalignment interference reading remains consistent. THEN AND THEN ONLY is a chiropractor justified to make corrections at a place OR places BELOW atlas or axis. To punch or crack vertebrae indiscriminately, anywhere, is foolish and dangerous, accomplishing no healthful objective. The MISALIGNMENT is a MINOR occlusion, MINOR pressure, MINOR interference, because of an existing local trauma, local pathology, such as caries, necrosis, tuberculosis of bone, osteomalacia, etc., ACTUALLY AND ORIGINALLY CAUSED by MAJOR CERVICAL VERTEBRAL SUBLUXATION ABOVE which had been adjusted out at the original entrance of case. Given time, superior restoration WOULD rebuild inferior trauma or pathology. Meanwhile difference IN TIME, inferior WAS creating a LOCAL minor interference which we DO NOW CORRECT as a temporary intermediary to give time for the SUPERIOR to rebuild it back to normal, thus correcting THE SUPERIOR MAJOR as well as the INFERIOR MINOR which neurocalograph PROVED did exist. WITHOUT NEUROCALOGRAPH full-spine graph proof, to know WHEN AND WHERE, anything we might do in any inferior place would jump us immediately back to multiple errors of the old time meric system of back-bone punching at times and places WITHOUT any degree of accuracy or knowledge of WHEN AND WHERE we SHOULD correct an inferior pathological or traumatic misalignment. TODAY (1956) we admit an error of judgment in concluding that at no time, in no way, in no manner, was a correction EVER necessary below occipito-atlantal-axial area. Because of its all-inclusive superior field of adjustment of the vast majority of causes in cases, we conceived the superior specific was an all-inclusive and all-exclusive field of adjustment. There ARE times, locations, and conditions which do justify lower specific corrections —which are not adjustments of CAUSE —which are corrections of mechanical, traumatic, or pathological adaptative misalignment effects —which are not subluxations, but misalignments. Misalignments are adaptations, not subluxations. Misalignments are out of juxtaposition with corespondents above and below, sometimes with inferior occlusions and interferences. [ 127 ]

In all subluxations and some misalignments, four elements are present: (a) malposition (b) occlusion (c) pressure (d) interference to flow— the latter two of which are not visible, even with spinographs, but are accurately graphed with the neurocalograph. The ONLY place there CAN BE cord pressures is where the COMPLETE CORD is, —the occipito-atlantal-axial area —not above in the brain —not below in the body where the cord dessicates The largest percentage of pressures and interferences are CORD pressures. The greatest number of occlusions, pressures, and interferences take place with CORD pressures. The greatest number of actual and factual CAUSES of all dis-ease are at the CORD pressure area. WHY? Here are assembled ALL fibers, going to ALL the educated brain —external seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting, and all external body below —any pressures or interferences HERE could be all-inclusive internal causative factors of any dis-ease in body below. CORD interferences at this location could produce various diseased vertebrae below, same as any other organic structure —in so becoming, then CAN produce local occlusions, pressures, and interferences, same as any pathology can and does prove in any organ of body. —to correct it to proper alignment is to temporarily ease the pathology; but its results would be temporary and not permanent. IF adjustment ABOVE does NOT check out inferior NCGH readings, as proven by pre and post full spine NCGH checks, then and then only is one justified in establishing proof that the INFERIOR SPECIFIC is that in fact and not in theory or snap judgment. [ 128 ]

CHAPTER XXV CAN MAN REVERSE LAW? Possessing the robes of a professional savant has not added to man’s capabilities to get sick people well. This INTERNAL intellectual mechanism continues in obscurity in each assembly line. What man thinks, or thinks he thinks, matters not to the Great Architect who conceived this product and continues to regulate it in spite of man, not because of him. Somewhere between all medical failures and incongruities are human units which go to college, read books, mix formulas, inject much from OUTSIDE-IN, BELOW-UP into human guinea pigs, seeking but never finding the mystic magic elixir health Shangri-La.

Man wonders why, after thousands of years, millions of theories and experiments, tried and exploded, he still thinks HE can reconstruct, reform and make man over to fit HIS outside pilasterings. Medical men still don’t know what makes man tick, WHY it goes wrong, HOW to make it possible for the chemical-mechanical assembly line to rebuild abnormal unit parts to produce healthy male and female living people. With all his boasted look-see, he can’t make ONE TISSUE CELL OF ONE MOTOR UNIT AND MAKE IT WORK HEALTHILY in conjunction with billions of other cells in ANY ONE human being. What would Ford say if we suggested “reverse the direction of power flow and movements of units of your assembly line,” because something went wrong with some unit of his car assembly line? BEGIN AT THE FINISH, BACK UP from OUTside-IN. BEGIN AT ENDING AND END AT BEGINNING! Suppose tail of dog were paralyzed and couldn’t wag. Suppose we inject external treatment into tip of tail on the theory that tip of tail would tell the brain in its head HOW to wag the tail. Can injection in tip of tail successfully reverse direction, doing what the Innate in brain can’t get thru to tail to do? Power flowing DOWN-ward OUT-ward would buck it from [ 129 ]

OUT-ward in-ward, something trying TO GET IN at END would be stymied by something coming from IN OUT. MEDICAL theories and experiments with endless “scientific” treatments from OUT-side IN, BELOW UPWARD are a process of OUTER blocking INNER, both ways. Exterior treatments stimulate or inhibit reduced flow THAT CAN’T REACH the sick motor organic unit, tickling or teasing the nozzle nerve because there is only a trickle of mental impulse flow, hoping TO FORCE increased flow FROM brain, THRU nerves, TO organs.

How feeble, futile and insipid is that hidden statement, when all else fails, when he says: “NATURE cures” “NATURE will provide” “Give NATURE time” “We have done all we know how to do, and now we will LET NATURE take its course. (THE CENTURY OF THE SURGEON (Jurgen Thorwald) says: (P. 27) “He will be left to THE CARE OF NATURE” (P. 30) “* * * adult sufferers from stones were LEFT TO NATURE” (P. 227) “Today that may seem incomprehensible. But it demonstrates the extent to which all of us, with very few exceptions, are slaves of established notions, and how difficult it is for us to accept anything new—all the more difficult when that NEW THING APPEARS TOO SIMPLE possibly to be the solution to complicated problems.” (P. 248) “* * * for, as always when THE CAUSES OF DISEASES ARE UNKNOWN, A CONFUSING VARIETY OF THEORIES ARE GENERATED EACH YEAR.” (P. 256) “* * * and a man of unusual imagination who is gradually finding his way about in the area THAT IS STILL PITCH DARK TO MOST OF US.” (P. 261) “Because I myself had been convinced, I imagined that everyone else would be as easy to convince as I.” Is “NATURE” wrapped in external pills, powders, potions; does “NATURE” come out of bottles, taken in by teaspoon or by injections? Such evasions conceal ignorance of WHERE, WHAT OR HOW “NATURE” is internal. Such quibbling rendering lip-service

only, conceals incompetency and provokingly prevents questions which

[ 130 ]

the patient doesn’t know HOW to ask, or the physician HOW to answer, on the presumption that the physician KNOWS all there is to be known, does all that can be done; therefore questions are useless and answers are avoided. Everything given artificially FROM OUTSIDE INWARD, BELOW-UPWARD, optimistically hopes to improve health by INCREASING natural normal flow from ABOVE-DOWN, IN-WARD OUT-WARD with EXTERNAL STIMULATIVES AND INHIBITIVES. One stymies the other. They meet somewhere along the line between brain and body, they clash, one BLOCKS the other. They compromise each other; both give, both take, both lose. The CHIROPRACTIC principle and practice, with vertebral adjustment by hand only, PERMITS 100 per cent TRANSMISSION FROM ABOVE-DOWN INSIDE-OUT INTO THE ASSEMBLY LINE. He does not compromise, stymie or block this natural normal free flow of mental impulses with external stimulative or inhibitive treatments. For this fundamental reason the competently indoctrinated chiropractor does not treat symptoms which reduce nerve flows, which tickle or tease nerve endings. “NATURE cures,” but IT’S ALWAYS from ABOVE-DOWN, INSIDE-OUT! [ 131 ]

CHAPTER XXVI THE LAW OF POTENTIALS In New York, there is a garage man who can tell license numbers of hundreds of cars in his garage. In the United Nations there are oral translators who can switch back and forth among four languages. Jeremy Bentham, the English philosopher, knew Latin and Greek at four. The German mathematician Zacharias Dase once mentally multiplied two 100-digit numbers. These seem far beyond ordinary mortals. Are they? OR HAVE WE BEEN EDUCATED AWAY FROM SUCH TALENTS? Or, do we have inner mental capacities we know little about? We are told we use only a small part of our potentials. Scientists, so-called, know little about the human mind and what its profound capacities may be. The brain remains largely unexplored and untapped. One of these “authorities” says all the electric and electronic equipment of our United States squeezed together in one mass, would be far less intricate than the three pints of gray matter of the human brain. Even more complex are brain’s functions. We have one area for seeing, another hearing. Is there a master mixing panel which blends all functions? Our maximum potentials may come to us at moment of birth. None of us approach it. It is fact that memory presents as we demand from it. Conversely, what IT knows becomes useless if not used. Learn to accept those thot-flashes that come from up-to-down, from behind-forward. All of us, sometimes, use some of these efficiently. Sometimes we recall clearly, and concentrate intensely. When you have a much desired problem to solve, imagine it is not your waking hours fellow’s problem but that of someone else who has been with you. Innumerable tests prove we find solutions while we sleep. You may struggle all day, and fail, and then go to bed disgusted with the whole thing. Next morning you wake with a clear, concise answer as tho someone had put it there during the night. CLEARLY A. DEEPER MIND POSSESSES KNOWLEDGE WHICH THE YOU FELLOW KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT. If only we could use it, tap it, oftener. [ 132 ]

Be aware of adventures into the deeper mind, behind, upstairs. Keep channels freely open between for ideas “practical” people say are nonsense, impractical. Perhaps there are more “senses” than the five we try to use. For some time unknown electricity was here, we did not know it, or use it. HOW CAN WE BE SURE THERE IS AN UNTAPPED POWER which we understand a wee bit about but could use if we knew how? Especially is it possible when health and sickness demand its return.

[ 133 ]

CHAPTER XXVII THE LAW OF PROGRESS Important manufacturing firms, interested in producing BETTER products, grasped the significant economical values of the unit assembly power-driven assembly line principle and practice. Today, such is common usage. Automation is the term used. People WITH VISION are accepting the same INTERNAL automation principle and practice in health values in correction of slowed-down, incapable, debilitated, under-nourished, paralyzed, human muscular mechanical motor units BY RESTORING power flows. All, in mechanical or human assembly lines, come from ABOVE-DOWN, INSIDE-OUT. None comes from OUTSIDE-IN, BELOW-UPWARD. Medical failures of centuries of EXTERNAL ARTIFICIAL stimulant and inhibitant compounds habitually prove that. PALMER’S LAW OF LIFE is SIMPLE in concept, SIMPLE to understand by those who use straight-line-thinking. It has INTERNAL rules and regulations, HOW it works, WHY it does WHAT it does AS it does it. HOW to adjust INTERFERENCES TO POWER LINES is equally as specific. Man can NOW KNOW WHEN, WHERE AND HOW to restore A RETURN NORMAL FLOW of energy to all human motor units. The normal schematic purpose of the over-all INTERNAL healthy flow to all units is the GREAT PURPOSE of its existence. What NEWTON’S LAW OF GRAVITATION is to physics; what EINSTEIN’S LAW OF RELATIVITY is to mathematics; what Ohm’s law is to electricity; what Edison’s use of Ohm’s law is to modern service; what DARWIN’S LAW OF SPECIES AND FAMILIES is to living assortments; what WRIGHT BROTHERS LAW OF AERODYNAMICS is to flying; so is this single and simple statement the essence of PALMER’S LAW OF LIFE. [ 134 ]

CHAPTER XXVIII SEQUENCES IN HUMAN ASSEMBLY LINE FROM EASE TO DIS-EASE EPITOME OF PALMER’S LAW OF LIFE. 1. INTERNAL Innate Intelligence in all parts of the human organic assembly line IS functional ease. 2. Brain, human dynamo-generator, absorbing, concentrating all EXTERNAL power FOR all parts OF the INTERNAL human assembly line. 3. EXTERNAL invasionary strains, wrenches, twists, falls, accidents, etc., 4. Introduce invasion of foreign or external concussion of force 5. INTERNAL re-action RESISTS external invasion 6. Re-action is INTERNAL muscular contraction resistance 7. Clashing of two forces focalizes at some point from which fracture, dislocation or subluxation of bones; contusions, abrasions, torn ligaments of soft tissue can and do frequently occur. 8. If INVASIONARY force is greater than resistance force 9. Vertebral subluxation CAN occur. 10. If resistance is greater than invasion, no damage occurs. 11. If vertebral subluxation occurs, spinal cord occlusion can occur decreasing size, shape or circumference of passage way of spinal cord. 12. Or, if vertebral subluxation occurs, inter-vertebral foramina occlusion can occur decreasing size, shape or circumference of lumen between vertebrae of passage way of spinal nerves.

13. If vertebral subluxation occurs, constriction PRESSURE on spinal cord, or constriction pressure on some spinal nerves, is the result. 14. If there IS pressure upon spinal cord or spinal nerves, interference to normal quantity flow of mental impulse supply 15. Between brain dynamo-generator, TO tissue cell expression, THRU spinal cord, or thru spinal nerves, is the result. [ 135 ]

16. Involving one or more human organic motors along the human assembly line anywhere in the body 17. All of which organic motors are DIRECTLY connected in the chain, DIRECTLY connected TO DIRECT nerves from the extensional DIRECT brain 18. Thru a CONTINUITY of brain cell TO and thru nerve fibers, TO tissue cells, IN organs 19. Reducing quantity of continuity flow of mental impulse power supply 20. Slowing down frequency of speed of rhythmic alternate muscular contractions and relaxations. 21. Only MUSCLES produce MOTOR MOTION, producing function in body structure of organic assembly line. 22. Reduction in frequency of muscular contractions and relaxations, per units of time, produces muscular stagnation—paralysis. 23. Multiply time element of results in slowed-down organic lack of motion 24. Per units of time in products somewhere 25. Creating peripheral disturbed, impaired or unbalanced function 26. Inducing paralyzed motor organic activity in one or more organic units 27. Given time, dis-ease builds and grows, in one or more organs in assembly line. 28. In varied degrees of symptoms or pathologies, depending upon 29. (a) Quantities of size of pressure (b) Degree of occlusion (c) Quantities of nerves involved under pressure (d) Quantities of power supply reduced (e) Depending upon which organ or organs are parts of the over-all body economy (f) Upsetting that or those organs in relation to the balance of the assembly line (g) And length of time permitting decline of function to accumulate (h) Developing an accumulative destructive survival value. 30. Thus establishing ONE ONLY PRIMARY CAUSE for every symptomatic or pathological dis-ease, regardless of degree, character, location, diagnosis 31. Which is immaterial in ITS relation TO basic one single CONDITION involved IN ALL ALIKE. 32. Producing ONE ONLY fundamental basic CONDITION [ 136 ]

(a) based on PARALYSIS of organic motor function (b) paralysis of muscles 33. Involving ALL dis-eases, regardless, medically called disease, sickness, ill-health. 34. The human organic functional assembly line is now disorganized in its co-ordination 35. All of which is more or less followed by AFFERENT adaptative corresponding sense feelings of pain, aches, head-aches, dullness, mental lethargies, etc. ———— All professions, be they medical, osteopathic, physiotherapy, naturopathic, psychosomatic, masseurs, any and all therapies, down the endless list, have ALWAYS assembled symptoms, pathologies; classified, diagnosed and prognosed some 18,000 multiple empiric and arbitrary guesses as to what, where, how, why. Call them monoplegia, hemiplegia, paraplegia, cancer, tumor, appendicitis, cystitis, constipation, gastrodynia, gastroptosis, hernia, or what have you, each and every one, without exception, down thru the 18,000 categories, has ONE common underlying CONDITION—reduction in nerve force flow, to organs, paralyzing muscles, impeding function, creating all of them. All because muscular contractions and relaxations were paralyzed, slowing down health function of an organ somewhere along the human assembly line, producing ONE ONLY CONDITION making possible ALL dis-ease. PALMER’S LAW OF LIFE simplifies our chiropractic approach, singles seeking cause, eliminates endless guessing, makes possible ONE specific correction OF CAUSE, permitting ONE SOURCE OF CURE in WHAT to do, WHERE to do it, HOW to do it, to get sick people well.

[ 137 ]

CHAPTER XXIX THE VICIOUS PERVERSIONS OF LAW Palmer’s LAW OF LIFE possesses the following elements: 1. there is a gigantic, exhaustless and intelligent power house resident in living man’s brain. 2. this intelligent power is sufficient unto man’s every need IF it gets from where IT IS, to where it is needed. 3. Sickness or dis-ease can exist anywhere, in any organ, in any manner, when this free flow power is interfered with between brain and body. 4. What interferes, blocks, obstructs this unlimited supply? 5. A twisted, distorted, abnormally positioned vertebra of the backbone producing pressure upon the power-transmitting cord of nerves. 6. This “shorts” the circuit downward from brain TO body and upward senses FROM body to brain. 7. This condition CAUSES every dis-ease, in every organ, in any form.

WHAT IS NECESSARY TO BE DONE TO GET SICK PEOPLE WELL? 8. Correct, by hand only, the mal-positioned vertebral subluxation. 9. Release pressures upon nerves. 10. Permit a restoration of the imprisoned power supply from above-down, inside-out. 11. Let it have free flow normally. [ 138 ]

12. When it reaches dis-ease, ease follows of its own accord.

This condition FROM ABOVE-DOWN, INSIDE-OUT CURES EVERY AND ALL DISEASE. THAT IS PALMER’S SIMPLE AND SINGLE LAW OF LIFE. A chiropractor, who knows chiropracTIC, who KNOWS the Palmer Law of Life, knows how and does but ONE thing 13. ADJUSTS the vertebra: subluxation 14. Letting intellectual power from ABOVE-DOWNWARD, INSIDE-OUT do the curing.

Do ALL “chiropractors” do what they should? No! Why? Because, out there in those big, wide-open spaces are multitudes of sick people. They have been educated for centuries to “do something” to disease itself, from OUTSIDE-IN, BELOW-UPWARD. Give, inject, take, treat something internal physical with something external physical.

Some “chiropractors” (?) appease, listen to, and do what the sick have been taught to want, always beg for, implore and tease them to do. Like Castoria, sick cry for it. There is a second group who compromise, dilute SOME chiropractic by adding multitudes of something medical, hoping what they do both ways, medical methods in conjunction, will do what they do not know HOW to administer AS CHIROPRACTORS.

There is a third group, who know NOTHING of chiropractic, buy anything and everything medical, go hay-wire, use ALL this,

playing up to the reputable name chiropractic has achieved, placat[ 139 ]

ing their consciences, peddling all on the unsuspecting sick, robbing them of what they had a right to expect when they went TO a CHIROPRACTOR’S OFFICE (sign attached), thinking CHIROPRACTIC was different, better, would do what ALL medical methods HAD FAILED to do. This type of sycophant uses his second hand incompetent medical methods for which he has had no training or experience to be safe in their use. The history of medicine has been a consistent and persistent inconsistent chain of theories, one after another for centuries; testing each theory on sick people by experimentation; each new theory and test failing; then starting all over again on another theory, another test, another failure, using sick people as guinea pigs. It has NEVER had ONE correct premise, principle or practice which was right which remained stable beyond a few months or a year or two. Millions of mistakes have been ushered into early graves. This is continuing even as of today. The history of chiropractic was born of ONE simple, single principle and practice which has remained fixed and has not changed thruout its career. Step by step, year after year, the APPLICATION of that principle in practice has been clarified, stepped up its percentage of reducing sickness and restoring health in the human race. Instead of piling up a gigantic succession of medical failures, chiropractic has reduced its principle and practice to ONE simple principle, ONE single location, ONE correction and method of proving THE CAUSE of one-only dis-ease, which reduces the entire phantasmagoria of diagnostic names medical men apply to their multiplicity of names. Today medicine has become such a gigantic conglomeration of theories and practices, that no medical man can cover the field either in knowledge or in practice, hence, the specialist in some one or more specific fields, each to his own, so much so that a patient might have to visit a dozen offices, be studied and treated by a dozen different doctors in the hope of getting well. The paradox is: medical men being sincere and honest in their search for a cause and cure which WILL get sick people well, never having found such; and, by contrast, chiropractic having firmly established itself with a practical and workable cause, cure and correction, we today find many medical men and institutions dropping THEIR medical failures and absorbing OUR chiropractic successes, in part or in totality. This is to the benefit of sick people. Our only wish is that EVERY CHIROPRACTOR, who claims to be such in fact, should confine himself to just that and nothing else but; and that every medical man was a chiropractor and nothing else but; all for the benefit of a sick mankind. [ 140 ]

Medical men, KNOWING medicine DOES NOT get sick people well, and seeing as well as realizing that chiropractic, properly applied, DOES get sick people well, are gradually absorbing MORE chiropractic and rejecting MUCH medical. Some “chiropractors” (?), who have a very superficial smattering of the chiropractic philosophy, science and art of chiropractic, are attempting to substitute in lieu thereof, to absorb MORE medicine, not knowing its failures, and rejecting much of the little they think they know about chiropractic, having proven to themselves that the little chiropractic they have, won’t, don’t and can’t work to their satisfaction. A little of either, to either group, is dangerous. Much of that which is wrong, is as destructive to health as is a little of that which is right. Instead of being entirely true to his own, on HIS prior arts rights side of the dividing line between, we find each profession straddling the fence, a little of the new and a lot of the old, as is true with medical men; or so much of the old and a little of the new, as is true with some chiropractors. The mixture of some good and much bad does not blend, each into other to produce results that could otherwise be accomplished. The two principles or practices are antipodal, contradictory to each other and clash when applied. The process of evolution by rejection of the old and absorption of the new comes slowly, by either profession, whether it be medical men rejecting medicine and absorbing chiropractic; or, the chiropractor rejecting everything medical and absorbing more chiropractic. What ARE SOME of the MEDICAL methods being peddled by SOME “chiropractors”? A. alfalfa seed tablets betain HCL combinations amino acid products bike salts compound antihistamine bone phosphate tablets antacid tablets bone phosphate powders aspirin compound brewer’s yeast tablets antacid HCL combination bricher ultrasound anatamotor Burdick ultrasound ace contourelle bricher myocsynchron ace ultrasonic basic formula 1,000 ace detoximator C. calcium c. tablets arginine calcium capsules aquaflavin calcium pnatothenate ace detoxinators calcium phosphorous B. bioflavonoid calcium vitamin d B. tablets calcium succinate compound B. complex combinations chlorophyll products [ 141 ]

What do any, many or ALL of these medical methods do? They either stimulate or inhibit dis-ease that exists, whip-up or retard symptoms. (Read again, our Chapter on THE LAW OF PER.)

All these do something from OUT-SIDE IN, BELOWUPWARD, and double the load of the FREE FLOW POWER FROM WITHIN, FROM ABOVE-DOWN, INSIDE-OUT, which is endeavoring to cure dis-ease but is now compelled to oppose the double load of all things coming in from outside.

Medicine has many centuries of professional and legally established prior arts right to everything which treats diseases from outside-in, below-upward. These principles, practices and methods they have an exclusive right to protect and defend against usurpers who would abrogate to themselves to steal or use.

When chiropractic introduced the above-down, inside-out principle and practice, it discovered and developed PALMER’S LAW OF LIFE prior arts rights to its exclusive use in practice to get sick people well. Beyond that LAW no chiropractor has any professional, moral, or legal right to go. It is NOT NECESSARY to go farther to get sick people well.

[ 143 ]

Since 1895 we have consistently urged that these two professions be kept distinctly separate from each other. Both professions have legislatively and legally established themselves on those bases. Neither one has any right to trespass upon any part or parcel of the scope of the principles or practice of the other. Legislatures in 44 States, Provinces of Canada, and several foreign countries, have recognized Chiropractic as a separate and distinct principle and practice.

Legislatures, Courts, and Supreme Courts have repeatedly held that all methods listed herein are the practice of medicine, and rightly so. Dentistry is a separate, specialized profession. So is podiatry. Chiropractors also are vertebral column specialists. There is no honor greater to a chiropractor than that he be known AS A VERTEBRAL COLUMN SPECIALIST. Comparisons are sometimes odious. In THIS instance they are relevant. PALMER’S LAW OF LIFE is NOW established. It has been proven practical and workable in millions of sick people since 1895, where IT, when accurately, efficiently and competently applied, has accomplished its objective getting sick people well. Altho yet a youthful LAW, BY COMPARISON WITH MEDICINE, it does not exist comparatively with Newton’s Law of gravitation Einstein’s Law of relativity Franklin’s discovery of electricity Ohm’s LAW Edison’s LAW of use of electricity, or, Wright Bros. LAW of aero-dynamics, BEFORE they became established and were acceptable in minds of all. Just as people ridiculed, taunted, laughed at, and called ridiculous other LAWS, in THEIR EARLY DAYS, so do some people today do the same with PALMER’S LAW OF LIFE.

Just as people had TO GROW out of medical non-sense to chiropractic sense; from medical treason to chiropractic reason; from medical INVOlution to [ 144 ]

chiropractic EVOlution; from medical failures to chiropractic successes: from medical wrongs to chiropractic rights; from medical corruptions to condone a new PALMER’S LAW OF LIFE, which frees sick people from sickness slavery, to that INBORN right to be healthily free WITH PALMER’S LAW OF LIFE from above-down, inside-out,

—so, it takes TIME for people to understand, grow and know, that as other laws worked and they became fixed in common everyday activities, so will it take time for the great mass of unwashed sick, to understand, grow and know, that PALMER’S LAW OF LIFE will become fixed in our common every-day health activities dealing with sick people. Meanwhile, some “chiropractors” (?) who have not yet reached the age of reason, try to exist by being part chiropractic free, part medical slaves by educated medical encroachments; are attempting to pervert PALMER’S LAW OF LIFE from above-down, inside-out, continuing to exist part-time, part-ways, outside-in, below-up, under “educated” methods that existed previous to the days of Newton, Einstein, Ohm, Franklin, Edison, Wright Brothers, etc.; continuing to admit correctness of the CHIROPRACTIC PRINCIPLE by ridiculing, taunting, laughing at and using the inside-out, below-upward, medical practices by attempting to cure dis-ease from outside-in, below-upward. Given time, PALMER’S LAW OF LIFE will come into universal use the same as other laws have before them.

Any “chiropractor” who follows medical paths has but one objective in so doing—money is more important than getting sick people well. ADVICE to the sick who need get well: Seek a chiropracTOR who adheres strictly to the single and simple PALMER’S LAW OF LIFE, who confines what he does to that law. If he uses any medical method listed, he is NOT A CHIROPRACTOR AND IS NOT DELIVERING CHIROPRACTIC SERVICE. We would be derelict of our obligation to protect the sick, if we did not warn them what to look for in a CHIROPRACTOR’S office and what to avoid.

Chiropractors, in some instances, are no different from anybody else. They would rather roll down hill than fight to climb; take [ 145 ]

the path of least resistance than to carve a new road; living on the theory that “if the sick don’t know the difference, and that is what they want, we should worry.” We regret we are forced to close this book on a “sour” note, but the right of the sick to get well still stands unchallenged and it has been and is OUR obligation to protect them IN THAT right; especially so when a few “chiropractors” (?) assume the abrogated assumption that they have a right to disregard rights of the sick for the sole purpose of raking in illegitimate sheckles without regard to moral duty to CHIROPRACTIC and their sole purpose of using IT to get sick people well.
