Notes on Chiropractic By Dr. Henry L. Foley Many people ask if the science of Chiropractic is a new health method. Actually, it can be traced to the earliest physi- cia n s of ancient times. These princi ples upon which the science of chiropractic is based are not new. They were crudely practiced by Hippocrates, the Father of Healing. by Galen and other noted physicians of that period. Sculpture and text alike prove that the principles were known and practiced by the Greeks, Egyptians, Hindus, and the Chinese. Before a doctor of chiro practic can practice, he must undergo a rigid educational course as well as strict licensing in the state in which he chooses to practice. The stan dard four-year curriculum, recognized by the Council on Education of the National Chiropractic Association, con sists from 4000 to 4400 hours distributed from 1000 to I 100 hours per year. In most col leges this course of study covers 4 calendar years. How ever, some schools, operating on the quarter system, cover the four years’ work in 36 consecutive months. Beginning with the basic science subjects of anatomy, physiology, chem istry, bacteriology, and patho logy, the student spends a large part of the first two years in mastering these fundamental subjects. The last two years are devoted to practical or clinical studies dealing with diagnosis and treatment of disease, and with chiropractic principles and practice. Chiropractic Offices 780 Main Street, Forest Park (Next door to Post Office) 366-3223 play and Decorations, will feature a reflecting pool with a real fountain. It will be deco rated with white, yellow and pink artificial flowers, and silk and satin. "1 think our inaugural entry will uphold Georgia’s repu tation for beautiful and mean ingful floats," Coverdell said. "Our Cotton Bowl and Rose Bowl floats both won prizes this year, and they’ll be hard acts to follow. “The State Department of Industry and Trade is helping in the design and construction, and the inaugural float should be an exceptional entry.” The Jordan High Band which will accompany the float in the parade is one of the state's better known musical organizations. Since its founding in 1946. the 105 member band has been given superior ratings for 21 years in state band festivals, won the American Legion National Championship, traveled as a concert band in 22 states from coast to coast, and received the commenda tion of the U. S. Army for services to the armed forces. It is directed by Joe B. Price. Hard work never kills any one, they say, but occasionally it wears us down.
