JT is a commonplace of physiological science that no part of tne hotly can Junction rightly and healthfully unless it is provided with a proper normal nerve supply. The heart could not beat, the limns could not move, the stomach could not digest food, the brain could not think, it the supply of what may be called life energy or vital current conveyed to these parts by the nerves were completely cut off. .hist as, when you turn oil' the electric switch in your room, the light goes out, s 0 if the nerve supply to any organ wore completely cut off that organ would cease to function. It is equally true, and will at once be obvious to the thoughtful reader, that if the nerve supply, without being actually cut off, is seriously interfered with, the part or organ linked up with that particular nerve will function more or less abnormally. In other words it will exhibit line of more of the symptoms of disease. If there is a short-circuit in any of your electrical connections you may still get a. light in your room, but it will be a very poor fight, so if one of the bony segments of the spine, for example, is impinging or pressing upon any of the nerves a.s they emerge from the little openings at the side of the spine, the conductivity or carrying power of the nerve will be interfered with: there will he a physiological short circuit in that oaiticular indivdual' at that particular part; and the organ which Should receive—but is not receiving—its proper supply of current from that nerve will function abnormally. That is to say, ill-health will result. The question immediately arises—and it is a question in which every man and woman in the community is interested—is there any sure and reliable means by which these infringed nerves, which are giving rise to all this ill-health—can be detected, located, and traced, so that the practitioner may know the exact spot where the Qerve' (rouble exists at the spine. Thanks to the advance of neurological science, it is now possible to answer this question definitely in the affirmative. Since 1916 the l'atho'metric Laboratories of Chicago have been experimenting along this line, and they have at last devised, and are now patenting, a most highly-sensitive and reliable instrument called the 'pathoneurometer." Mrs. E. H. Havers, chiropractor, has installed this new nerve-testing mechanism at her rooms in Lysnar's Buildings; and it is impossible "not to be profoundly impressed at the quickness, sensitiveness, and accuracy with which nerve abnormality is registered. The pathoneurometer is based upon an entirely new principle, and is not affected in any way by changes of temperature or by atmospheric conditions. It indicates the comparative resistive power of each nerve, and it is extremely interesting to note tho uncanny way in which the affected nerve can bo picked out, and in many cases traced along its whole course from the spine to its final objective. This means that the chiropractor who is fortunate enough to possess this remarkable instrument can he furnished at once with definite and certain knowledge as to the exnM. snot at which nerve pressure requires to he released. Mrs. Havers is enthusiastic about the efficiency of this new instrument, and considers that it onens up a wonderful prospect for both practitioner and patient. " 848
