Physiotherapy 4 , Prior to externship in the Glendale Chiropractic Clinic, one hundred and twenty hours of instruction in fundamentals of electro-physics and the operation of physiotherapy equipment is completed. The various laws of electricity and physics are applied to the use of such therapeutic adjuncts as: sine wave, galvanism, diathermy, percussion instruments, ultra- violet, infra-red, colonic irrigation and others. In the latter half of the Junior year time is devoted to actual operation of the various equipment and applicable therapy for disease conditions. Facilities of the Glendale Chiropractic Clinic include almost every modality of proven clinical value, and are available to the Senior during his clinical externship. X 35

Gynecology The ease of delivery experienced by chiro- practic mothers is the result of ro er care ' P P and attention preceding birth. The therapeutic value of bimanual manipula- tion becomes increasingly evident by the success of specialists in the field treating the disorders of the female pelvis. Restoration of normal function by means of mechanical alignment pro- duces favorable clinical results in exceedingly great percentages of cases. A ,,.,f'f! g Patholo y Pathol0gY, the study of the effects of disease upon body tissues and the study of the disease itself, is virtually a secondary course in anatomy. Wherein the normal must be studied first, knowledge of the abnormal must be as thoroughly mastered. Laboratory periods conducted in the anatomical laboratory offer the chance to completely explore the processes of disease upon tissues and organs. There is a growing conviction among instructors that pathology represents per- version of physiology, Which, if proven conclusive, points toward chiropracticfs basic concept of restoring normalcy of all body functions.

Anatornioal Laboratory Concluding the classroom study of anatomy, students arrive at dissection eager to correlate their knowledge of the human body. Ample opportunity is provided in the anatomical laboratory, rated one of the best equipped on the Pacific coast. Practically odorless -- welcome progress f om the days when formaldehyde fumes smarted students eyes and mummified the cadavers -- the laboratory is equipped with ten refrigerated vaults. The temperature is thermostatically controlled at 40 de- grees, thereby preserving tissues in a pliable state. By dissection procedures, anatomical relationships are embodied firmly in the memory. Various organs may be thoroughly explored in view of their physiologic functions and structural relationships. With dissection, the academic study of ana- tomy is finished -- yet, is never completed.
