THIS BOOK IS Dedicated TO THE GIRL WHO HAS BEEN MY STAFF AND LANTERN, AIDING AND LIGHTING ME ON MY WAY IN THIS NEW FIELD My Wife
This little work is offered to the profession without apology for its brevity or its form. It has been prepared because of an immediate and pressing need for such a guide in our colleges, and is offered abroad under the impression that many practicing Chiropractors feel the same need.
It is intended for handy reference and clinical use and is arranged as systematically as possible, style being everywhere sacrificed to utility.
