Sage Sayings of Dr. Andrew Taylor Still

"All organs and parts of the human body are the subjects of one general law of demand, supply, construction and renovation in order to keep up normal functioning. Our work as engineers is to keep the engine so adjusted as to perform its functioning perfectly. Osteopathic adjusting means to so adjust the body that normal action will be sufficient to supply nerve force equal to the demand for construction." (March 1917)

"Life prove its perfection by its work". (October 15th, 1916)
