"Osteopathy deals with the body as an intricate machine which if kept in proper adjustment, nourished and cared for, will run smoothly into an old useful age. As long as the human machine is in order, the same as the locomotive, it will perform the functions for which it was intended. Every living organism has within itself the power to manufacture and prepare all chemicals, materials and forces needed to build and rebuild itself, producing the only substance that can be utilized in the economy of the individuals."
