3874 — Chiropractic

By Editor

I have seen "chiropractic" mentioned in the "Signs" in connection with osteopathy. What is chiropractic? I can not find that word in the dictionary.
It is not there unless it is a very recent dictionary. It comes from two words, "cheir" — hand, and "practic" — practise, — hand-practise. It can hardly be called a school of medicine, because it does not use medicine. It is a school of practise for the healing of humanity by hand manipulation, especially to the spine. It is quite similar to osteopathy in this respect.
