K is that clenco which finds in disturbed mechanical rela tions of the anatomical part of the body the cause of disease, and which is employed to cure disease by appiy lng technical knowledge and high manual skill to the correction of all disturbed relations occurring in the mechanical arrangement of the, body. It is a science founded upon the principles, of anatomy and physiology. The word does not mean the treat ment of bones nor of bone diseases. It waa used aa a name because the founder discovered the importance of disturbance in the bony frame work of the body in causing disease. He studied the skeleton aa the foun dation of anatomy, upon which sci ence he grounded hie ayatem. The meaning of the word applies not only to derangement of bony parts, but as we'l to disturbed relations of nerves, ligaments, tendons, blood vessels, muscles and of any body tis sue.
