Lateual Aspect of Spine. (A and B) The anterior portion of the lntervertel>ral disc is thinned, and as aresult of the approximation of the vertebrae the intervertebral foramina areencroached upon by the displaced articular processes. (C, D, and E) The discs between these vertebrae are thinned and, owing tothe approximation of the vertebrae, the vertical diameter of the correspondingintervertebral foramina is diminished. (P) The fourth lumbar vertebra is displaced posteriorly and encroaches onthe antero-posterior diameter of the intervertel)ral foramen below. 178 SPINAL ADJUSTMENT therefore, the result of exhaustion of the nerve centres.

The various minor vertebral lesions produced dur-ing the previous day, by the numerous external and reflex in-fluences with which we were brought into contact, were spon-taneously adjusted. A normal flow of impulses along thenerves is the result, and the effect of these im
