These are two questions constantly being isked every chiropractor by every patient. (The writer is the son of the .discoverer of Chiropractic. He is the developer of the principles laid down by his father. He has discovered and developed oilier principles along the same lines. He has been in the work ever since its birth; is president of the largest Chiropractic institution; has educated more chiropractors by thr.ee times over than all other schools combined; has seen pass through their clinics some 60,000'patients in the, last 11 years; his school clinic is now adjusting, about 4000 patients daily— so,.yvith these advantages, what he now has to'say must be weighed as coming from the‘man who knows best what the facts are.—Publisher.) ; In trying to reach a justifiable and sincere prognosis (meaning what the outcome of the case will be under"adjustments) five things must be considered. '.lst. Age of. the patient. : '2nd. Degree to'which the disease has pro-, gressed. f 3rd. Vitality in reserve in the patient which docs the “healing” or “curing.” 4th. The ability of the chiropraotor (a) to correctly analyse the case; (fa) to pick the major for adjustment; (c) to determine its correct malposition; ■ (d) his ability to deliver a correct adjustment. ■ • sth. Time the patient will allow for recovery to take place. Let us weigh each of these carefully. ‘Age of the Patient.” As a .general rule H; can be said that the younger the patient the greater the opportunity for. recovery. The older they are the longer it will take, other things being equal. “Degree to which the disease has progressed.” If the condition is mild, taken in its earlier stages, the recovery is more nearly assured than it w r ould be in its later stages. Tuberculosis of the lungs is an example. We think this will appeal to every person as reasonable. "Vitality in reserve in the patient which docs the ‘healing’ or ‘curing.’ ” If the person has been sick a long time and his reserve force does not "come back” readily, or at all, it can be seen that the possibility for recovery is slim. If the person has a strong reserve force and it “comes back” quickly and strongly, then the odds are much more in his favour. “Ability of the chiropractor to correctly analyse the case, pick the major for adjustment, determine its correct malposition and his .ability to deliver a correct adjustment.” Suppose the chiropractor correctly analysed the case but gave a: wrong adjustment, the “prognosis” would he grave. On the reverse, grant that he could give an excellent adjust ment, suppose the place for adjustment was wrong, the results would be again nil. If everything on. his part is done .TUST IRIGHT, all other things being favourable, the prognosis would be favourable without any doubt. . “Time the patient will allow for a recovery to lake place.” Take it for granted that everything in the four preceding points had all been done EXACTLY HIGIIT, if the patient had a stubborn case that bad been standing for years, and allowed but one week to make recovery in, it would be impossible, for if lakes time to get well, just as it takes time to get sick.

How Long Will It Take Me To Get Well ? By B. J. PALMER Disease grows, health must re-grow. It takes time for disease or health to grow., Let me cite several hypothetical cases for illustration.. Ist. Suppose our case is ten years old. The degree is mild, having stood but a short time. The patient's vitality is strong. The ability of the chiropractor is all that could bo desired from a human being. The parents are willing to give any reasonable time to show a change for the better. There could be no doubt whatever about the ultimate result on that case. : Let us assume the extreme opposite. 2nd. Suppose our case is 80 years old. The degree is severe, having stood" for 34 years, fho patient is quite decrepit, weak and emaciated. The ability of the chiropraotor is all that could be desired from a human being, properly educated and competently proficient. The patient, being anxious, is willing to grant him a month “to show me what you can do.” r lhe prognosis would be grave because il would he impossible to get those slow respondin'* forces to act quickly on an old standing condition in that space of time. 3rd. Suppose our patient is ten ycarp old. The degree is severe as in typhoid fever that is given up by medical doctors. The paticnl’s vitality is at low chb. The ability of the chiropractor is still all that could be desired The parents are willing to grant plenty or time. Here is now a light on between the chiropractor’s ability as pitted against the long odds the disease has already accomplished. The probabilities are that the chiropractor can assure you of an early recovery for youth and a quick “come-back” is in the patient’s favour. 4th. Suppose our patient is 80 years old. The disease is mild in time and degree, having stood but four or five, years. The patient has the usual decrepit condition which comes from old age. The recovery, or “come-back," is slower at 80 than at GO or 40. The ability of the chiropractor is all that could be desired. The prognosis would be excellent because the patient is willing to grant plenty of time. The . odds here arc only in the consideration of the age of the patient, which is not a long odd because the condition is mild. These arc but general rules, for I have seen all of them violently outraged. I have seen mild cases in young people (as wc thought them) take a long time to gel well. I have seen severe cases in older people get well in a short space of Lime. So, all that any of us can do is to stack up the average with the usual five points to be considered, and then form a reasonable opinion, based on the evidence before us and express our views based on our experience. And, at that, many of us have been fooled either way. It appears to me that any patient can weigh the relative values of these five points, stack himself up against them, and form an opinion of the outcome for himself. The only one advantage a chiropractor has over (lie patient, in the formation of this opinion, is his experience in what HE HAS DONE and what lIE KNOWS .that OTHERS have done for similar cases. The one point the patient must use the best of judgment on, is the selection of his chiropractor. That his training has been thorough and of I lie right sort to make him competent to do that which every patient lias a right to demand of a chiropracLor when he pays ldm for service. The one point the chiropractor must use the best of judgment on, is that if he accepts the case thinking there are good opportunities for him to display his talents, then he has a right to demand of the palient plenty of time in which to bring about the changes needed. The only other three points in conflictare the ago of the patient, the degree of the disease and the vitality of the patient, and neither the patient nor the chiropractor can change any or all of these. They must be taken as they are. So, when the question is asked “Can Chiropractic cure me?” you will now sec the exact menial process through which our .minds work in answering your question. Perhaps witii this explanation you can put yourself through- that process and after you have done so be more reasonable with your chiropractor and you do your part If be docs his. All other tilings being taken into consideration, this one thing wc find true, that no matter i how conservatively we reason out these tilings, ; the tendency is' to err on the safe side; and, it is my experience that in about G 5 per cent of those cases, in which we figure nothing can be done, much is done; anu, in those eases where we figure something can be done, we get our cases well. In 11 years it is our experience here at THE P.S.C. that about 85 per cent, of our chronic cases get well. And, when it is remembered that Hie cases WE get are those that have been given up after going the rounds of many physicians—oftentimes “the best," it can lie. seen that the odds are a long way in your favour. HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO GET ME WELL? . For 25 years we have been dealing with the sick. Wc see them of all ages, sexes, colours, conditions. They come from all tiie world to this “largest health clinic in the world." Wc got the sick after they have tried every imaginable method, baths here and there, medicines modern and medieval, after they have been to physicians and surgeons, wise and otherwise, including some of the so-called “great specialists” in this and other countries. Since May Ist, 1009, wc have kept a numerical Record of our clinical registration and it is now some GO,OOO people. Therefore, wilh the ifeily attendance about 3000 people, we are , in a position to tell you quickly what question is asked the most, and this is it: “HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE ME TO GET WELL?” -j To this question I can answer I DON’T' KNOW —NOBODY KNOWS and, should anybody state any time whatsoever, approximate or otherwise,' there are only two possible reasons for liis doing so, viz: Ist, he is ignorant of the ' facts, or, 2nd, he is lying—and no other word quite so aptly tells the truth. Here is why: ’ • • Twenty or more years ago every patient asked me that same question. Every one wanted to know. They had a right to know (IF wc knew). Naturally “they wanted to shape their business accordingly," etc. Twenty years ago I determined to so systematise my records of the-recovery of cases so that I could know and thus tell him. The FIRST case that came in (after determining my mode of procedure) was one of rheumatism of the right shoulder. He got well in ONE adjustment. So, I recorded it ' “inheumatism —Right shoulder” —“ONE adjustment.”. When the SECOND case came in. of “Rheumatism —Right shoulder” —and HE asked the question “HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE ME TO GET WELL?” I looked over the record and found that "ONE adjustment" did it. I told him so. As a matter of fact, it took HIM just TWO WEEKS. (I was 13 days a liar.) So I modified my record to read ‘ ‘One . adjustment to two weeks.” In time, the THIRD case of “rheumatism” of the “right shoulder” came in and HE asked the question “HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE ME TO GET WELL?” I looked up the record and HONESTLY told him just what the record showed—“ One adjustment to two weeks.” As a matter of fact it took HIM just THREE MONTHS, and I was two months and a half a liar. I again modified the record. The FOURTH -case came. I told him just what the record proved. It took his stubborn old case just NINE MONTHS. I was now a liar by six months. This thing of getting caught in lies did not please me overly well, so I resolved to.again tell the truth of “One adjustment to nine- months" to the next case. That case came;- Being a business man, being away from home,' he had to shape his business t'o stay away and “from one adjustment to nine months” gave no definite facts upon which he could work. Said he: “Didn’t you ever have A CASH LIKE MINE?” By this time I reused that NO TWO GASES ARE EVER ALIKE and I told him so. "Well,” said' lie, “didn't you ever have a case of rheumatism of the right shfulden before?” Yes, I had, but there were other things'besides those two that enterediinto the equation which made no two cases alike. I well remember, he went away quite peeved,taxing no adjustments because I wouldn’t give him a definite, stated'time—in other words, li* to him because he WANTED ME TO. I tried to systematise other diseases M the same way in RELATION TO TlME—and I found it could' no more be done with them than with the above. I found 'some old, chronic cases getting well .quickly; I found apparently mild cases taking a long time. I found young cases taking longer than old ones, and vice versa. So, as a matter of fact, there is NO WAY OF HONESTLY answering this question. W 0 must reasonably assure ourselves that the odds are more in our favour than against us, this being so, given time, the results arc more reasonably assured. But, even in that event, there is no “GUARANTEEING A CURE.” I am constantly being called into' conference on cases, in person and by mail. . I am ini constant communication with many thousands of cases annually being taken care of by our graduates. Their records in no way differ from ours; our experiences are theirs. Human nature is the same the world over. Geography docs not change facts. At this time, after havjng seen many thousands of .cases of many severe types, I am constantly being surprised both ways on this question. However, there is a common average into which almost every case more or less fits, and upon these we can assure within consistent lines. Beyond that, however, I am at a loss to know' which is the unreasonable case which will not lit into that consistent line. Tiiose cases I am at sea with the same as is every oilier chiropractor. I understand only too well that every palient who co-mes- to us with a chronic type lias been the rounds of doctors of all kinds, they have tried everything, they'have been promised everything from Hie moon to eternal life, after which you approach a chiropractor with cither one or two ideas in mind, viz.: You expect him to be a fake, but worth- a trial; or, he is going to perform a miracle on you in & miraculously short space of time. Every chiropractor is a human being. He aims to TELL YOU THE TRUTH by telling vou HONESTLY that he does -NOT know “HOW LONG IT WILL TAKE TO. GET ME WELL.” Please let him continue to be an honest man. Don't drive him into LYING TO YOU just to satisfy you on’something about which his experience teaches him 1 he knows nothing. The larger his experience-, -the longer he stays with the chiropractor, the • greater lie is at variance with his desires to. do what you want done.
