Accident Restores Blind Boy's Sight
An automobile accident was credited today with restoring the sight of John Grela, 21, former high school football star, after he had been blind for three weeks.
Almost as quickly as he lost his sight while working in a manufacturing plant here, Grela regained it after an accident in Brighton enroute to Rochester to see an eye specialist.
The above is taken from an Associated Press news dispatch and appeared in many newspapers over the country. Upon reading over the article and without stopping to give it some thought it would seem that the restoration of this boy's sight was nothing short of miraculous. The explanation of this is obvious. The cause of this boy's blindness was a vertebral misalignment in the spine.
The collision produced an accidental adjustment removing the nerve pressure which was interfering with the nerves leading to the eyes.
The cause of many other ailments can be found in the spine. Yet there are those who suffer unnecessarily because they are treating the ailment and not removing the cause.
