! To Our
s
and Patrons
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 arid pat
ronage. ' Yours respectfully,

MALADJUSTMENTS
VERY COMMON
The Osteopath fs the master ma
chinist .whose specialty Is tills hu
man machine. He knows exactly
what Its adjustments should be
throughout; and, when good health
is not resulting from Us labors, be
at once, seeks to learn in what re
spect Us 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 la faulty operation defects In
Its adjustments are much more cer
tain to exist. It Is a proven fact
that, there la scarcely a species, of
disease, or a single case of any such
species, In which either the aggra
vating or the pre-disposlng cause Is
not discoverable mis-adjustment of
some parts of tbe structure. This
c
DMMERCIA
BOOSTER
may be a displacement of the bony
parts from their normal relative
positions, a contracture of soft tis
sues, the sagging of some soft tis
sue part such as the stomach or in
testines, or other abnormality im the
structure.
In any case lit causes Interference
with the proper circulation of the
fluids and nerve force of the body,
and the only hope of radical cure
lies in. lta correction.
In the thirty-Ahree year 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 andi aban
doned cases. Right Way.
