Chillingworth had circular of the
man who is representing chiropractin
in Hawaii. He read therefrom q long
list of ailments which the circular pro-
fessed could be relieved by chiropractic.
ChillingwOrth asked Frear IL he thought
this was the kind of claim that should
be taken seriously by the legislature.
Frear replied that q year ago, on the
mainland, he had investigated this
treatment and had found II TO be very
helpful. He gave a comprehensive re.

dependence of the. health and comfort
of the body, on the condition of the
nerves, stating that the nerves fire.
quently became affected through tho
displacement Of bones, particularly the
bones of the spinal column, and that
chiropractic was simply putting the
bones back where they belonged and
thus relieving the nerve tension, giving
the nerves the proper chance to do their
duty by the body, and so relieving the
system generally. This applied to in
Vulnerable forms of complaint.
Examining the Witness
Chillingworth wanted to know If
Frear believed, then, that the passage
of this bill would result in a reign of
health. ' q.
Frear declared that this treatment
was every bit as successful as other

Chillingworth asked if chiropractic

PRESIDENT Cmllingworth rose to sec
ond the motion, but added that he
wlshed TO nave 1t understood that he
was opposed to the passage of the bill
and that he would not be bound by
anything Judge Cooper had to say,
though TINS was without prejudice Ia
Judge cooper, who was personal
friend OF his. Is
Judge cooper said that so far as he
was concerned he could see no reason
why the bill should not pass. There
mad evidently been some misunderstand
ing ABOUT the Christian Scientists being
against the bill, for IT in no way inter
Iered with christian Science practise. :,
