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

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.
