Chiropractic embraces the science of life, the knowledge of how organisms act in health and disease, and also the art of adjusting the neuroskeleton.
The basic principle, and the principles of chiropractic which have been developed from it are not new. They are as old as the vertebrae... I am not the first person to replace subluxated vertebra, for this art has been practiced for thousands of years.
To be specific, is to exhibit a knowledge of the principles and art of adjusting; a comprehension of facts so systematized that they are available for the relief of disease.
I claimed to be the first person to adjust a vertebra by hand, using the spinous and transverse processes and levers. I developed the art known as adjusting, and formulated the science of chiropractic, and developed its philosophy.
