Perfectly easy when you know how. Chiropractic is a method: of palpation, nerve tracing and adjustment of vertebrae for the relief of morbid conditions. Stedman's Medical Dictionary (1918) ' This meets the condition for a definition very precisely. No other sys tem or method combines the unique and distinctive method of examining the spine with the hands (palpation); the art of searching out and skil fully tracing sensitive or impinged nerves to the organs in which disease is to be found (nerve tracing) ; and the specific mechanical replacing of the partly displaced bones which crowd those nerves and shut of f the flow of vital energy to the rest of the body (Adjustment), EXCEPT CHIRO PRACTIC. . . - ;- ; ' ' 1 Every other system is excluded by this description. Even the word "re ' lief" instead of "cure" is correct, because the Chiropractor relies upon. Nature herself to do tb.e curing. Everything that a Chiropractor does and everything that is distinctly Chiropractic, is summed up in those two short lines. The system is so simple, so direct and so scientific that no complex explanations are re quired.

Universal Chiropractors' Association appearing in Red Book, Physical Culture and Roy Crofter.
