ALONG THE RIGHT WAY
oiiraction or the chest capacity
throujh dropping of the ribs from normal
position is one of the cSief ciuses of lu lg
and heart troublaj. It craa'si crow jina
and every organ must have its allotted
room if it is to perform its functions pro
perly and be able to resist disease breed
ing influences.
Midwinter suggests precautions against
CJlds. la grippe and pneumonia. The
best precaution of all is to keep up the
resisting powers of the body by attending
to it that there is no interference with the
nervo impulses or blood nourishment to
any part This is the work of the Osteo
path.
If winter ills do come, Osteopathy
brings them to the'.r speed est and safest
ending. It restores adjustments and re
laxes tissues so that the inherent disease
banishing powers of the body may opjr
ate normally; and its euccjss in the treat
ment of the acute troubles common in
changeable climates have been extremely
gratifying. ,
