"Above all things, a good chiropractor has faith in nature. He does not make the proud boast that he cures people. He knows that it is nature that heals. All the chiropractor can do is to put his patient in line with the healing forces of nature. He simply knows the physical fact that a pressure of a bone on the nerve brings about a condition where the telegraph system fails to act properly. With skilled hands he brings about right relationship and alignment. He finds the cause and removes it.”

-Elbert Hubbard from “The Philistine”
