We desire to say that our store room and stock
are gradually emerging from the state of dis
order caused by the work of remodeling our
building, and we will soon be ready to serve
you better than ever.
The spirit of forbearance on your part, as evi
denced by your liberal patronage during the
progress of the work, is appreciated by us, and
we desire to show our appreciation in the bet
ter service we may be able to render in the fu
ture. Our desire to better serve you prompted
us to undertake the seemingly almost impos
sible thing, of successfully conducting a mer
cantile business in a building undergoing re
construction during the winter months. The
measure of success attending our efforts we
leave the public to judge. If we have been
successful, we owe our success largely to your ,
indulgence and co-operation. The fact that
our sales for the year were over $25,000.00
more than for the previous one leads us to con
clude that our efforts towards progress meets
with your hearty approval. Your confidence
and good will are more to us than money; and
it is our earnest desire to conduct our business
in the future in such a manner as will merit
your continued confidence, good will and pat
ronage. Yours respectfully,

MALADJUSTMENTS
VERY COMMON
The Osteopath, is the master ma
chinist whose specialty Is tills, hu
man machine. He knows exactly
what Us adjustments should be
throughout; and, when good health
is not resulting from Us labors, be
at once seeks to learn in what re
spect its adjustments differ from
those of the normal body In which
there is no blemish, of disease.
The case of the human machine
differs from that of the machine of
metal only for the reason, that when
there is faulty operation defects in
Its adjustments ere much more cer
tain, to exist. It is a proven fact
that there is scarcely a species of
disease, or a single case of any such
j species. In which either the eggra
' rating or the pre -disposing cause is
, not a discoverable' mls-adjustment of
' some parts of the structure. This
c
onciA
may be a displacement of the bony
parts from their normal relative
positions, a contracture of soft Us
sues, the sagging of some soft tis
sue part such as the stomach or In
testlnes, or other abnormality fen the
structure.
In any case it causes Interference
with, the proper circulation of the
hfluid and nerve force of the body,
and the only hope of radical cure
lies in its correction.
In the thirty-Uiree yean of its de
velopment period Osteopathy has
thoroughly proven every one of
these- facts; and Osteopaths every
where are proving them anew con
stantly by removing the structural
causes of disease and bringing health
even in the most difficult and aban
doned cases. Right Way.
