In grateful recognition of his wise counsel and valuable aid in the production of this work, in sincere appreciation of the firm principle for which he has ever stood even in the face of almost overwhelming opposition and many times alone save for the few who understood him, and because of the love I bear him for having saved the life of my son, I count it a privilege as well as a very great pleasure to dedicate this book to B. J. Palmer, D.C., Ph. C., scientist, philosopher, author, but best of all just my plain, frank, candid friend, B. J. of Davenport.
John H. Craven
More than ten years ago when I began teaching hygiene in the Palmer School of Chiropractic, I realized the need of a text-book that would deal with this subject from a chiropractic standpoint.
Many points maintained by hygienists are not in accord with the teaching of Chiropractic, since they are proven untrue by our philosophy. For this reason much subject matter in such text-books was of no value to our students; hence the necessity for a chiropractic hygiene text.
