^jODERN Science, which is alwnya studying cause and
effect, has demonstrated that disease in adults and im-
proper development and sickness in children are the results
of faulty perve action due to spinal defects. The bones of
the spine press on the nerve* and interfere with the distribu
tion of enerffy throughout the body. A correction of these
defects restores uninterrupted nerve force and invariably
results in the return of health.
CHIROPRACTIC
(KI-RO-PRAK-TIC)
is the science that has demonstrated this connection between
diaease and defective fepities. For.years, and in the face of
bitter criticism and strong opposition. Chiropractors have
been adjusting the defects in spines to remove the cause of
disease. Wonderful results have been obtained, even in
cases that were considered incurable. Everywhere there are
people who have been greatly helped by
