The regular supply of food is however usually insufficient to overcome
the process of destruction, and it is therefore necessary to add the
missing elements in purer form and larger quantity. These nutritive
preparations contain only such chemical elements as exist in the human
body; they also contain them in the proper chemical proportion and are
entirely free from poisonous substances. They promote a general
regeneration of the blood that will eventually lead to a complete cure.

Physical treatment may be made to assist the proper circulation of the
blood, opening at the same time the pores of the skin for the withdrawal
from the body of disease elements and the introduction of desirable
material. Massage, gymnastics, ablutions, and various kinds of baths and
packs constitute the most of the healing measures of this description
resorted to.

This is indeed the legitimate field for Osteo-Chyropractice.

In order to understand the method of treatment which I apply, it is
necessary to understand one of the great laws of physiological
chemistry, acknowledged as such by the great masters of chemistry, such
as Liebig and Hensel.

This law demonstrates that _nature is a unit, its component parts a
given number of elements, each of which has distinct qualities, and the
combination of which produces the various manifestations of life_.

These elements are classified as combining to form minerals, plants and
animals. They are all closely interrelated. The plant draws the mineral
elements from the soil, and after certain processes of combination,
conveys them as food to the animal. The animal substances that man
