save life.
Every little once in while l fine
myself doing something of that kind
but somehow the feature side of such
trips have never appealed to me and
| don't believe these two would have
had it not of been of Mrs. DR.. Ed
wards making the suggestion while
laying. over between trips, at Omaha
the other day.
Inasmuch, as it appealed to her
perhaps the same view will appeal tc
you. As every fact is pungent of q
mad race for not only one but two
lives, l herewith give them to you.
A Hurry-up Call.
On Tuesday AFTERNOON, July 31st
every thing was running smoothly II
our office. A telegram arrived
Nothing unusual about that because
we receive from ten to fifty day
But, this telegram got us into i'm
mediate action.
1t read:
Arnold, Nebr., July 81, IT.

Davenport, Iowa.

CRITICAL CONDITION. Subluxa-
ton of lower cervical caused by in
jury. Patient generally paralyzed

burg, Nebr., via Union Pacific from
Omaha. Will meet you at seven
thirty train in A. NJ. and drive you
across to Arnold. Send answer quick
here at Arnold.-H. M. SLING
LUFF. D. c.
Knowing that the only train
could make this on was via Clinton
and then on THE OVERLAND LINZ
TIED, which would make A SPEC
IAL STOP, / called up DR.. Edwards
on Long Distance telephone, at
Omaha, asked him to ask W. H. Muir
raj (the G. P. A. of the Union Paci-
fic) to have THE OVERLAND LIN
TIED stop at Gothenburg.
DR.. Edwards reply, which came
within 15 minutes, was as follows:

DR.. B. j. Palmer, D. G.
THE OVERLAND LIMITED will
stop at Gothenburg tomorrow to let
you off. Will see you at the Depot.

LIMITED would stop, | telegraphed
DIR. Slingluff as follows,

midnight at best. Will come on OV7
NERLAND LIMITED which will make

A Vital Case.
1t had dawned upon me that this
was a serious case and probably
might need something more than
Chiropractic adjustments, so tele-
graphed DIR. Edwards, as follows:
L. w. Edwards, NJ. D., D. c.,
Omaha. Nebr.
On second thot knowing case is
serious and expense no item want
you with me on this trip. Be prepar-
ed.-Palmer.
There was nothing more to be
done now but for me to get to Gin
ton to catch THE OVERLAND LIN
TIED on its way out of Chicago. We
got out the fastest benzine buggy
we had in our Faculty Community
Garage and we drove for dear life to
Clinton, 40 miles away. We arrived
