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.
This establishment is the représen
tative in this district for thé Fire

too well known to automobile own
