The Big Idea

* A slip on the snowy sidewalk in winter is a small thing.It happens to millions.

* A fall from a ladder in the summer is a small thing.It happens to millions.

* The slip or fall produces a Subluxation. The Subluxation is a small thing.

* The Subluxation produces pressure on the nerve. That pressure is a small thing.

* That decreased flowing produces a dis-eased body and brain. That is a big thing

   to that man.

* Multiply that sick man by a thousand, and you control the physical and mental

   welfare of a city.

* Multiply that man by one hundred thirty million, and you forecast and can

   prophesy the physical and mental status of a nation.

* So the slip or fall, the Subluxation, pressure, flow of mental images, and dis-

   ease are big enough to control the thoughts and actions of a nation.

* Now comes a man. And one man is a small thing.

* This man gives adjustment. The adjustment is a small thing.

* The adjustment replaces the Subluxation. That is a small thing.

* The adjusted Subluxation releases pressure upon nerves. That is a small thing.

* The released pressure restores health to man. This is a big thing to man.

* Multiply that well man by a million, and you increase the efficiency of a state.

* Multiply that well man by a hundred thirty million, and you have produced a

   healthy, wealthy, and better race for posterity.

* So the adjustment of the Subluxation to release pressure on nerves, to restore

   mental impulse flow, to restore health, is big enough to rebuild the thoughts and

   actions of the world.

* The idea that knows the cause, that can correct the cause of dis-ease, is one of

   the biggest ideas known. Without it, nations fall; with it, nations rise.

                                            The idea is the biggest I know of.
