In Chiropractic we have a message for all. It is not given one message bearer to meet or impart to all. As any small movement becomes large, the individuality of any one man becomes merged into a part of all those who help him.

Among the many helpers, some stand apart and separate from the mass; not a part of but apart from. I have been blessed with a corps of excellent teachers; anxious, ready and willing to take up my message, pass it on to that portion of mankind which immediately surrounds us so they may pass it on to the larger circles which they come in contact with.

Among those close and friendly helpers, none have been more true, diligent or conscientious to the Chiropractic philosophy then John Craven. Having formerly been a studious minister, he came prepared to accept advanced ideas. His willingness was only exceeded by his sincerity.

Many are the happy hours this teacher and I have analyzed and synthesized the detail which then became a part of his teachings; which now become an elaborated phase of this book.

To him must be given all credit for the production of this fifth edition, therefore, it would be but befitting that unto him belongs the honor of the dedication of this book.
