Nerves Control and Regulate
Tissues and Organs

As the nerves control and regu-
late all of the tissues and organs
Of the body, it must be evident that
any disease could be caused by i'm
pingement of nerves at the spine
Thus Chiropractic has the broad
est possible range of application.
Conditions in the stomach, kid
neys, liver and bowels, heart, etc.,
all yield to Chiropractic adjust
ments. 1t will be recalled that the
five senses are dependent on the
nerves. Thus any disease or de-
rangement of the special senses,
such as deafness, can be reached
and corrected through Chiropractic
adjustments. Conditions where
the nerves themselves are the
greatest sufferers from pressure,
such as paralysis and sciatica, al
so yield to Chiropractic adult
ments. In short, there are few
conditions that, if taken in time,
cannot be permanently corrected in
the same manner.-Adv.

PUNTA GoRDA INQUIRY
Answered by the Statement of a
Punta Gorda Resident

When first the long series Of re
ports of Punta Gorda people who
have been relieved by Doan S
Kidney Pills we're published in
the local press, great enthusiasm
and interest were aroused. But
Punta Gorda is now inquiring
How the these people keeping
today? How has the benefit they
received withstood the test Of
time?" For that, after all, is the
essential test of a cure. On this
point doubt can no longer exist,
for after many years those who
have been cured, emphatically
declare their cures to be lasting,
E. Keen, blacksmith, Punta
Gorda, says; have used Doan' S
Kidney Pills on different occa-
sions for kidney complaint and
a lame and aching back. They
have never failed to bring me the
best of relief, Statement given
March 4, 1911.
A permanent cure. Over three
years later, Mr. Keen said:
"Doan' s Kidney Pills have cured
NE and the c2,re has been perma-
nent. l am glad to confirm all
MY former praise of them. "
Price Soc. at all dealers. Don t
simply ask fer kidney remedy

same that Mr. Keen has twice
publicly recommended. - Foster.

To the People of the First Con

You have, by a majority vote,
selected me to be your Represen-

earnestly hope you will believe.
The campaign was clean and dig

| have no feeling Of resentment
toward those gentlemen who so
it. To my thousands
of loyal supporters | feel a sense
of great thankfulness.

Canning Club Girl Manages Can.
ming Factory

Many people in Florida have
called attention to the large a.
mounts of vegetables and fruits
that are wasted annually. Then
in turn Florida buys many car
loads of canned vegetables from
northern states. Such a condi-
ton cannot make for permanent
agriculture. One great difficulty
that has been in the way of util-
ling these by-products has been
the lack of people who are capa-
Bile of doing the canning work.
This deficiency has been in large
measure supplied by the canning
demonstration work in furthering
the interests of the girls canning
clubs.
One Of the canning club girls
has been made manager of can
ming factory in one of the south
ern counties. This is a move in
the right direction. There is no
reason why a young woman fa-
miliar with the art and science of
canning should not be able to
manage canning factory as well
as man could. She would pro-
baby do better work even than a
man because she would be more
used to keeping everything thor
Oughly clean and orderly. Every
community in the state, says
Dean P. II. Rolls, Of the Univer-
sity of Florida College of Agri-
that produces vegetables,
should have one or more canning
Factories superintendent by wo-
men who have been specially
trained in the art of canning veg
atables and fruit. The heavy
work about a canning factory can
readily be done by laborers while
The time consuming portion of the
work can be done by women and
girls.
