“The person who takes a doctor’s dope without knowing what it is, what the doctor expects, if to do, why it will do it, what it is taken for, and what food or drink is incompatible with it, is a chump.”
“The world evolves around the actions of man. His success depends upon vitality and power. He must have health to accomplish this. Backbone must be normal. Chiropractors, when generally supplied, will improve the world’s output.”
“The practitioner and the layman are not to blame for using the words “treat” and “treatment,” for they have known nothing else but the various methods of treating. Chiropractors do not treat the goitre. They find the cause and take off the pressure from the nerve, whose functions are exaggerated.”
“Innate Intelligence can be compared to the controlling power of a ship. The engineer is the brain who puts into action that power. The assistant engineers, oilers, repair men and firemen represent the various functional lobes. The machinery exhibits the bodily organs under control of Innate. The captain on the bridge illustrates the educated mind, directing the course and outside affairs of the ship.”
“Every true Chiropractor that uses specific, pure and unadulterated Chiropractic should hold in his mind that success is as much his right as the acorn has to become an oak or the rosebud a rose. He was taught to succeed. Successful methods are given to him in his lessons. He has but to place himself in right relations with these teachings and pay the price of effort. Begin to deviate from true principles and you will lose.”
