PAGE EIGHTEEN THE COQUILLE VALLEY SENTINEL, COQUILLE, OREGON Drs. Scofield & Scofield Palmer Chiropractors < Coquille is most fortunate in hav ing such successful chiropractic prac titioners as Dr. Roy S. Scofield apd Dr. Eva K. Scofield, who have offices in the Drane Building. When Drs. Scofield decided to take up the practice of the chiropractic science it Was after much investiga tion and conviction on their part that this science was ofie of the most progressive steps that has been made for the betterment of mankind. After they reached the decision to enter the practice of this profession they applied themselves diligently to their study and threw into their work, all the enthusiasm that their investigation of the science had aroused. This made of them apt students and thorough and finished graduates. They were graduated from the Palmer School to practice chiropractic after having completed a thorough preparatory course, and after having stood' a rigid examina tion in the states of Iowa, Washing ton and Oregon .in each of which states they have been licensed, they can be referred to as finished mas ters of the science. Among the advancements made in science there has been no greater ad vanced step than the development and perfection of chiropractic science. As chiropractic practitioners, Drs. Sco field know they are following the most advanced theory and practice for the eliminating of disease from the human system .that has yet been discovered. It has only been in re cent years that the full value of this science has been appreciated. A few years ago the general public ridiculed the idea of chiropractic adjustments being conducive to health. However, owing to the scientific advancement of this art and the determination of its followers, chiropactic still sur- ‘ vives and today has a great following. The value of chiropractic science has been proven in the many remark able recoveries that nature has been able bo make where aided by the sci ence. No case of bodily trouble or di sease should ever be given up as hopeless or incurable at least before investigating ’ chiropractic science. Any one suffering from such com plaints as rheumatism, catarrh, asth ma, bronchitis, goitre, paralysis, epilepsy, dyspepsi^, constipation, piles, appendicitis or a constant head ache, fevers of all natures and all cases of skin complications should go to the Scofield offices for an examin ation. The Scofield office is prepared to give Neurocalometer service. The sensitive instrument which verifies the proper place for adjustments and proves, by an established record made from week to week, whether you are being benefitted or not, thereby elim inating all guesswork pf analysis. After making a thorough examina tion and spinal analysis by the aid of the Neurocalometer, the patient will be told what can be done to assist nature to relieve the trouble. Even if the ailment be chronic and if the patient has given up all hope of find ing relief, a visit to the Scofield of fices will, without doubt, be of help. If your case is one that cannot be greatly benefitted by chiropractic adjustment you will be conscientious ly informed of that fact, but that is rarely the case. The rates for ad justments and advice to prospective patients will be gladly given to all who consult Drs. Scofield. Their reg ular office hours are from 10 a. m. to 7 ,p. m. Other hours can be made 'by appointment on telephoning 102-L. In compiling this special number we feel it our duty to recommend Dr. Roy S. Scofield and Dr. Eva K. Sco field because of the work they have been able to’ accomplish in assisting nature to throw off and eliminate bodily ills and disease. White & Burr Motor Co Flint-Durant-Star Agency Transformation in Past Decade From a Self-Satisfied Village to a Hustling Small City of 2500 Population The well known Flint, Durant and Star automobiles are represented in the Coquille district by the White & Burr Motor Company. There are probably no better known automobiles than are the proven dependable Flint and Durant and the sensational new Star. All of thse machines are among the most popular cars in the country. Messrs. White and Burr, owners'of this agency, are alive to the ¿jnpor-' tance of the automobile they are sell ing and appreciate full well the big values .th’at they are able to'offer their customers in these machines. They sell these automobiles, either new or used, on terms to meet any pocketbook. The Flint, so named by its designer and manufacturer, one of the world’s greatest mechanical and automotive engineers, in honor of his home town, is one of the big values in good cars, made possible through quantity production and close asso ciation with the manufacturers of the highest quality of special integral parts. The. Flint is made in five dis tinctive body types, open and closed, in gray, maroon and blue, equipped with four-wheel brakes and balloon tires. The Durant, a superlative automo bile of ‘lower cost than the Flint, has the honor of carrying the name of its dsigner and maker, and in keeping therewith is an outstanding big value at its selling price. The Durant is made in six body types, open and closed. These are equipped with disc wheels and four wheel brakes, and can be equipped with balloon tires at very little extra expense. The Star car, that new sensation of the automobile industry, is meet ing with the approval of a large and increasing number of owners. The new Star car is one of the master- pieces of that eminent auto builder, Durant. The Star, although one of the low est priced cars on the market, is modern in every respect. The new Star has many improvements on already good car of last year, the m<an without large capital siring an all round serviceable Messrs. White and Burr recommend the Star highly. In’ conjunction with the sales de partment Messrs. White and Burr conduct a first-class garage and ser vice department and extending gar age and repair service on all makes of cars and giving Flint, Durant and Star owners that class of service that ■ is helping very materially to main- t$Hi their popularity in this district. The garage is equipped with all of the latest and best machinery that would tend to add to the quality of work done for the customers lower in cost. Only experienced, efficient mechanics are employed and their employers insist on at high class of efficient personal service on the part of every employee. Only .genuine parts are used in this establishment and an absolutely complete line of parts for the Fint, Durant and Star cars is always carried here. Every sale made by the White & Burr Motor Company carries with it a class of owner service that is in keeping with the superior machines sold by them. A service that means every day satisfactory use at the low est comparative cost.
