Teach Him The Value of Health
See that your child’s education is complete in EVERY
DETAIL. Do not overlook the most important point of
all; that of teaching them the value and necessity of a
healthy body. Of \yhat use to .them will an active well
developed brain be if that brain is not allowed to transmit
its life giving force to the body, thus keeping it strong
and healthy and able to carry out the great work that the
brain may conceive?
Few of the world’s greatest men and women have
been weaklings either physically or otherwise. The boy
whose mind is trained to plan and execute great projects
will find small demand for his talent if constant illness
keeps him from the scene of hiswork. Great writers and
thinkers must not permit ill health to drain their strength.
Chiropractic is a Preventive
Children are especially susceptible to sickness, because
their bodies do not have the resisting power to fight dis
ease that is found in adults. Children who SEEM well
may in reality be suffering from some disease which,
though not yet noticeable, may develop into a chronic con
dition that will handicap them throughout life if the
condition is not corrected early in life.
The entre bone structure of the body is very soft and
easily strained in children. Thus it will be seen that in
young bodies spinal vertebrae may be more easily displaced
than in adults and may also be more easily corrected.
Every child should be examined by a‘competent Chiro
practor at least four times a year. These examinations may
reveal and make possible the correction of minor complaints
which, if neglected, may lead to an adult life of sickness,
deformit and general inefficiency.
