It re ceives communications from all parts of the body and sends out controlling and life-giving im pulses to all the tissues. It matters not whether we consider the liver or the stomach, or the hand or the foot, all are dependent on a nor mal supply of nerve energy. The chief assistant to the brain is the spinal cord. This is the electrical switchboard of the body, a place where intricate nerve connections are made. The spinal cord leaves the brain at the base of the skull and enters the spinal column. As the spinal cord descends it gives off thirty-one pairs of spinal nerves which pass between seg ments of the spinal column and radiate to nil parts of the body the internal as well as the external organs. The question is frequently asked how can chiropractic cure stomach, liver, henrt, lung, kidney or in testinal trouble when the chiro practor adjusts the spinal column. By correcting spinal subluxations j and removing irritation and inter ference from the nerves passing In' between the spinal segments the Chiropractic adjustments arc able to influence all internal organs. This is no more unusual thnn when you press an electric door bell button and automatically make a hell ring in an upstairs apartment. In an analogous fash ion remote causes In the nerve system can produce remote effects interference of nerve supply at Ihe spine can produce disease ef fect in internal organs. Because of the extensive connection of the' nerve system to all parts of the body, the chiropractor is able to reach the internal organs and cor rect disease by restoring normal nerve communication.
