Resolutions
g
As the old year passed out and the new
dawned upon us many of us made new reso
lutions, resolving that we would improve by
looking at the errors of the past. Now,
then, if you have not been trading with us
the past year you do not know what you
have missed in the way of saving money.
Take our prices all through the year and
you will find tp your own satisfaction that
we are as cheap, it not cheaper, than any
house in the valley. The public knows that
we have been all torn up repairing and en
larging our store. Many carpenters and
workmen have been busy for the past ten
weeks getting our building in good repair,
so that trouble is about over, and we ex
pect to give more of our attention to our
many customers than we have been able to
in the past. We have quite a large stock
on hand that must be sold in order to get
room for our spring stock, so come early
and get our prices and we feel quite sure
that you will be satisfied with our merchan
dise and also our prices.
Thanking you for past favors, we remain,
Yours Respectfully

Jan opinion .
E. H. Prtt A M, M D, L L D, a
high medical authority, in a paper
read before an assembly of his own
profession says:
"Osteopathy is not a science based
upon an accurate knowledge of region
al anatomy, but an art to acquire
which, requires an educated 'sense of
touch, a thorough knowledge of ac
tion and reaction in the various forms
of disease, and the courage of one's
convictions."
"Osteopatiy has the advantage of
surgery in that it reduces minor lux
ations end ilslocations, 'which more
frequently than is commonly suppos
ed are effective barriers to the recov
ery of healUi so long as they remain
uncorrected: while, without examin
ing a person from an osteopathic
standpoint these laxations and dislo
cations wouti undoubtedly entirely
escape observatlm. So Osteopathy
must rank as one pf the most impor
tant measures known for the relief of
all forme of . chronic ailments. As
to the methods of applying principles
in practice it is an effort of Osteopa
ths to reach sympathetic nerves
centers at every available point."
