THE MODERN METHOD
While it may be considered unethi
cal to advertise to secure patients, I
believe it a duty to let sufferers, who
reside in this community, know some
thing of chiropractic, the modern
method of , treating chronic diseases.
In the first place, the majority of
people know absolutely nothing of the
results obtained by scientific spinal
adjustment. Then, on the other hand,
there are people who, no doubt, have
contempluted taking a course of ad
justments, but have been discouraged
by some person or persons, who know
absolutely nothing of the methods or
the results obtained by chiropractic, or
are so nurrow-minded aud egotistical
that they have not even investigated,
but are trying at every opportunity
to poison the minds of the public
against new methods. 1
I accept no eases unless, after a
thorough examination, I conclude that
their condition can be either cured or
relieved by chiropractic adjustments.
Since my arrival here from Portland,
I have adjusted the cause of a good
many chronic ailments. The people
who have taken adjustments are sat-
DR. W. L. HOLLOWAY
isfied. Possibly you have a disease
that is pronounced incurable and have
been treated by a number of physir
cians without having obtained requir
ed results. If you have a disease that
is pronounced incurable do not give
up in despair. You would not like to
admit that you were so strongly preju
diced in favor of old methods that you
would not give new methods a fair
trial, would you! Yet this is what
people who are in poor health and
are looking for vigor"and health are
doing when they do not find out what
chiropractic will do for them. "Get
in harmony with nature." Think
right, bo contented, keep your skin
clean, your chest active, kidneys free
and bowels open and in order to do
this you must have a perfect back
bone. Ninety per cent of the women of
our country are afflicted with female
weakness in some form, and will suffer
untold agonies before submitting to
the local treatment in vogue for these
troubles. All female diseases are
caused by a luxated vertebrae in the
lumbar region of the spine, and to
affect a cure it is as unnecessary as
it is distasteful to undergo local
treatments, because relieving the im
pinged nerves allows the diseased or
gans to resume their natural func
tions. In no line of disease do we
have better success than in the various
diseases which afflict womanhood.
I shall be pleased to have you call
at my office and have it explained how
I relieve suffering humanity without
the use of drugs or the knife.
