CHIROPRACTIC TREAT- ~ j METIS ARE EXPLAINED For the benefit o f tho>e who are un fam iliar with my treatments I give here a brief definition o f chiropractic. Chiro-practic is a system o f adjust ing the articulation o f the bony fram e work o f the human body,especially asy métries o f the spinal vertubrae, for the purpose o f removing the cause o f the disease by the correction o f subluxa tions (partial displacements or dislo cations) thereby removing the pres sure, impignment or tension from the nerves having their passage between, through or around the structures sub- luxated. The auhluxation is corrected with the hands, using the bones o f the body, more particularly the pteccsses o f the vertebrae o f the spine, as levers to which is applied a peculur adjuslic movement. There are some who think that Chi ropractic treatments are beneficial only in cases o f hysteria or other purely nervous disorders, but there Rre thous ands o f people who can testify to hav Good Drugs, Good Cigars, Good Sodas ing been relieved or cured o f chronic at Beauchamp's Drug Store. stomach trouble, constipation with its attending ills,kidney nnd liver troubles, gall stones, rheumatism, lumbago, heart disease, female weaknesses etc., in a large percentage o f cases when every other known method o f healing has failed. I do not profess to be n "cu re all” but I do claim that the history o f chi ropractic shows a wonderful success in the treatment o f human ills. My terms are not exorbitant, in fact there is no need to suffer longer with your illness for fear o f being robbed for treatments as they are within the reach o f everyone, and furthermore I do not take your money unless 1 am sure I can give you relief.
