Practice of Chiropracdic Produces Numerous Sto ries Leonard Jay chiropractor, talked to the weekly meeting of Rotarians Thursday aboui his profession. Part of his speech included this model of the spinal column. One of the misconceptions many people have about the back, said Mr. Jay, is that it is ail one bone: the back bone. In reality the back is a collection o f many smaller bones. When these bones are movea or damaged, extreme pain can be the resuit. Chiropractors relieve pain by manipulating the bones. Chiropractic is the manipu- lation of the spine as a method of curing disease and easing pain, according ta Leonard Jay of the Rotary Club and after a year af practising this PROFIT RMISINÇi EARTHW'ORMS Cani You Answer YFS" to These Questioîns'ý 1 Do. o Ike rmsnglr k'eh 1 Do o, wn a, b fsinesso oron l Dr '"'"n~d yDo you havea a k yar r ferin art, he has some stories ta tell.

TENNESSEE 37167- (615) 254-7327 chiropractic is, and the types of cases he'd dealt with in the last year, his first year of practice. Chiropractic is reputed ta date back several centuries, and Mr. Jay even linked the practice with Hippocrates. The Chinese and the Egyptians bath used a form of spinal manipulation as a cure for certain pains and at one point bears were trained ta walk up and down people's backs ta relieve them. SWhile today's chiropractars use methods mare advanced and refined than those of the ancients, the theory is much the same. Mr. Jay pointed out that few chiropractors beîieved in the use of drugs, surgery (unless absolutely necessary), or radiation treatment, except for X-Rays. The modern era of chiro- practic in Canada is generally acknowledged ta begin with Daniel David Palmer, a Part Perry man who founded the Canadian Chiropractic College.

PRES 420 Base Line Road at Hwy. 57 Bowmanville 623-4433 to Mr. Jay, and the require- ments for entrance to the college are getting more and more stringent. Mr., Jay said the college was currently negatiating wîth universities in an effort ta link up with themn and make itself available for govern- ment grants and subsidies. Now, the callege is purely private and is supported by the students and practising professionals. In autlining the treatment procedures for his office, Mr. Jay stated that the most important thing for a chiropractor to do first, in treating anyane, was eliminate all other possibilities. He gave examples of patients that had came to him with heart attacks, epilepsy, and like problems for treatment. Had he not been trained properly and nat recognized the real cause of the ailment and treated it, there could have been complications. " I can't stress that enough," he said. "It's vital that yau check out all other probable causes before you begin chiropractic treatment.", Mr. Jay gat interested in chiropractic after a car accident ended his budding hockey career. Playing in the Boston Bruin organizatian, he had high hopes of one day making the big time. Such was nat ta came ta pass however. After numerous doctors failed to cure the problems, which, occurred from the accident, Mr. Jay went to a chirapractor and was s0 impressed he decided ta enter the field himself. Chiropractic can be used ta treat anyone at any age. Mr. Jay has treated everyone from a two and one-half year old baby ta a 94-year-old. For women, most problems are related ta tension and stress up in the neck, whereas in men the prablems are usually with the lower back. -Mr. Jay claimed many of the problems associated with lower back pain were often related ta the occupation af the individual., One of the clauds that has been hanging over chiroprac- tic in recent years, is the apparent nonsense cures some of its practitioners have been suggesting. One such cure involved the use of magnets strapped ta an individual's body. "I'm nat one of these guys that believes in hocus-pocus and murnbo-jumba," said Mr. Jay. "If you put cow dung around someane's wrist and they believed in it, it would prabably work just as well." He went on ta Isay if evidence could'bé VI'oôduced t0 show the effectiveness of these cures, he would consider them, but not before. He lumped the practice of wearing copper bracelets ta ward off arthritis and similar prablems in th e same category as the magnets. Perhaps the biggest single reason Mr. Jay likes chiro- practic and stays in the field is the association it allows with people. Time and'qgain Mr. Jay stressed that it was the prime contact of the profession that attracted hîm.

In the late 1800's young people were deliriaus over bicycles. There were bicycle clubs, bicycle shows and Walker's was praud ta offer its clientele a fine selection of bicycle clathing. We can thank a University of Toronto professor of French for the clarification of a step alang the way in the bicycle's evolution. Professor Richard Walter Jeanes discovered that the original bicycle was not the celerifere as demonstrated in Paris in 1791. The celerifere was nat even a bicycle but was a horse-drawn carniage imported inta France in 1817 by Jean-Henry Sievrac. We could not ignare France though if we were ta hop on aur 10-speeds on an expedition ta learn of the history of the bicycle. The velocipede. or boneshaker was introduced there and then in England. We would have ta jaurney as well ta Austria, Germany and Scotland and if we really wanted ta be tharough we would have ta visit carvings on tombs beside the Nile and frescoes in Pompeîi for bath depicit wheels, the former in tandem. John Moodie of Hamilton imparted the first bicycle seen in Canada. It was called the Bayliff Thomasin and was also called a Penny Farthing, a High Wheeler or an Ordinary because there were sa many of them. Thank goodness for the Safety bicycle which followed it because those Ordinaries were dangerous. Imagine being perched on a seat up ta five feet off the ground! Some riders held their legs out ta the sides as they coasted since the pedals turned with every revolution of the front wheel. Speeding downhill the brakes were incapable of stopping it so cyclists often draped their legs over the handlebars. If they were lucky they might be thrown clear of the vehicle, if they bit a bump, and land in a bush! In 1895 Ottawa enacted tariff legislatian ta stop the manufacture of "Cangda- made bicycles" which were in fact made from American parts imported to Canadian assembly plants. Such assembly plants were found in Toronto, Brantford, Welland, Windsor and Kingston. Sa the U.S. firms just set up plants here. The largest American company ta makeé the move was H.A. Lozier and Ca. of Toledo, Ohio, mak rs of the famous "Cleveland" bicycle. Although bicycles were exceedingly popular, they were by no means cheap. In 1896 The John Griffiths Cycle Corporation af Toronto offered the "Beeston Humber" at $130. and their lowly model "The Duke", at $65. As is the case in 1978, the younger generation weren't the only anes ta ride back in the 1800s. Their parents went an excursions too and ladies could buy a bicycle suit ta arder for $10. and a straw fedora - the "brawn and speckles" sounds nice - for a mere 45 cents. The wamen though were not admitted ta bicycle, clubs. They were for men only and each club had its own unifrom and racing colaurs.' At the height of the bicycle rage in 1899, the Canada Cycle and Mator Company Limited was launched - a merger of H.A. Lazier & Ca. in Toronto Junction (West Toronto); the Gaald Bicycle Ca. Limited in Brantford; the Welland Vale Manufacturing Ca. Limited in St. Catharines and the bicycle divisions of the Gendran Manufacturing Ca. Limited and the Massey-Harris Company Limited of Toronto. C .C.M. also purchased the riding. Doctors, postmen and ministers cycled ta their calîs. Much ta the disappointment of the ministers, their parishion- ers didn't cycle ta church. With Sunday their only day off , they took ta the open roads. New rules had ta be set for the Victorians who cycled. A man was allowed ta assist a woman even if she was a stranger ta him should she be experiencing difficulty with her bike. And it was not improper for the lady ta accept the assistance! Men took vacations, cycling ta their destinations. At hotels, bellbays parked bicycles. But some out-of-town cyclists gave their counterparts a bad name for the Whitby Chronicle said they were boorish and used ":bicycle horse-talk" and had "loud body sweat and road perfume." Tut! Tut! The bicycle's evolution ta today's standards combined the wark of many hands and many brains. Outstanding contributors were Goodyear with his vulcanization of rubber, Bessemer with his process -for making cheap steel, Dunlop with his incomparable pneumatic tire and an and on. All important developments toak place before 1900 so those bicycles are of interest ta the collector. The later bîkes like the safeties are easier ta find and are cheaper. You may find them occasionally at flea markets and auctians. The value of an old bike depends on haw many of its parts are original. If the bike is in fairly good condition, it wauld be wise to leave it alone rather than try ta Irestore it with replacement parts. Often the parts have to be specially, made althaugh original parts can be found if you hunt for them.$ There are tandems, tricycles and maybe even a few Penny Farthings stili around. If you are wondering how men got an and off those High Wheeiers or have one yourself, here's how: 1. Push the bicycle ahead while holding it upright. 2. Straddle the rear wheel. 3. Put your left foot on the mounting step above the rear wheel. 4. As the High Wheeler maves ahead, thrust yaur right foot tawards the pedal. As the pedal moves around by ELMER'S SIX RULES 1.
