Healthy minds and healthv bodies are co-relative terms. Tho day will soon come when people will not wait until thoy are ill before seeing a CHIROPRACTIC PHYSI CIAN, but will forestall sickness by recoiving treatments asji pre ventativo. This is a good logical method." P.H. .Review. What is CHIROPRACTIC?
