Spinal Hygiene

Dr. Schultz is to thank for this particular cartoon.  In one of his lectures, he was joking about a factious, seedy chiropractor who pawned his special “black whip snake” adjustments and spinal floss to gullible patrons.  Picking up on the spinal floss idea, I thought this would be an excellent method for maintaining proper “spinal hygiene.”  Because hey, you gotta floss.  Note the special calcium flavoring.
