First Edition Chiropractic Hygiene and Pediatrics 1924 Craven Palmer Green Book

John H. Craven, 1924. Rare first edition Palmer School of Chiropractic Green Book cloth bound hardcover of A Text-Book on Hygiene and Pediatrics from a Chiropractic Standpoint by John Craven, D.C., Ph.C..

A foundational view of health, child development, and illness through the lens of chiropractic philosophy. This book emphasizes the importance of a properly functioning nervous system, free from vertebral subluxations, as the key to a healthy life and the body's innate ability to heal. It applies these principles to both general hygiene (covering topics like diet, exercise, and rest) and pediatrics, arguing for chiropractic care as a primary, drugless method for promoting wellness and treating common childhood ailments.
