THIS school needs 900 intelligent men
and women to supply the demand which
IS ever increasing in ratio with the
knowledge OF this wonderful science. We
are daily receiving inquiries about tha
nearest Chiropractor and when one can
be secured in the various communities.
Is it true that Chiropractors get great
er results than practtionor OF other
methods? Make q comparison. Out of
over Tour thousand cases since Jan 20,
1908. in Guthrie, only four have been
fatal, three Of these beign tuberculosis.
lhe cases handled have been varied, iu-
eluding al the infection and contagious
diseases to which this country Is subject,
and nearly all the diseases named by
the medical world.
Is 1t a lucrative profession? Mako a
comparison. 500 per month is better
than the average salary. $500 per
month Is the minllrdm charge for Chi
