Mainspring of this masterpiece, according to the chiropractors, is that much-abused collection of ver- ! tebrae, including the sacrum and coccyx (tail bone to you) that make up man's spine.* Yet most people ignore it. they say. In advising us to "stand tall to be healthy,” the Sou^i Carolina Chi ropractors association atks “why is it the average American will have his teeth cleaned, his hair shampoo ed and his scalp maas&fed. even his nails manicured, but when you ask him if he has had his posture checked he looks at you like you were talking Greek?
