AT THE BEGINNING, we anticipate this subject, as presented, will be taken at face value and understood by some, even to many of our profession.  Many, in our opinion, possess many preconceived ideas which need reconstruction.
    We record our knowledge, gained through research, of the underlying fundamentals upon which Chiropractic rests as promulgated by our father but never clearly explained by him.  By careful reading of his writings, gleanings of these ideas are apparent.
    To be consistent with the objective of this talk, it is written with we and us in mind.  Ordinarily, “we” and “us” imply and are understood to be two distinctly different and separate persons.  Ordinarily, “I” implies one fellow who lives in a material body and runs it.  Whenever and wherever “I” is used, we refer to the educated fellow who thinks, speaks and writes for himself alone as one of the two fellows he is.  He does so within the limitations of his education.  This book, so far as the author is concerned, writes from the duality of personalities — the inseparable, indivisible, Siamese-twin personalities living in the one structure — the Innate and Educated individualities.
    It will be difficult for the reader, as he reads “we,” to think “we,” because he will constantly interpret it into the ordinary channels of thought of two different and separate people.  To read this book and gain the viewpoint of its author, the reader must know the “we” or he will fail to gain the fundamental purpose of this book.
