left on the noon train, same day

home arriving Saturday noon, with
the thanks of knowing that two more
desperate cases had been pulled out
of the jaws of death. 1t makes a
fellow feel good to know that he can
be Of service to such desperate cases.
Perhaps the most pleased people
were the cases themselves, to know
that they had strong fighting
chance for their life. Perhaps the
next most pleased people were the
Chiropractors. (Drs. Slingluff and
Anderson) to know that they were
now going to turn defeat into victory,
DR.. Slingluff has his office at
Gothenburg, Nebraska. DR.. c.. E.
Anderson has his office at Sterling,
Kansas. Both of these men have
more than proved their cases that
they were absolutely frank and hon
est. They admitted that the case
was beyond them, that they want
ed advice from higher experience,
they put it to them squarely, told
them what it would cost to get such
experience, stated that they believ-
ed that the case could be solved if
they wished to pay the price. The
cases consented. kilograms were sent
with the results herein spoken.
Other Cases Could be Reached.
We are frank in stating here and
now, that there are many cases that
could be reached, that many lives
could be saved, if such means were
more often resorted to. Just as these
two cases would have died, Just so
do many others die for the want of
a sincere admission upon the part of
the Chiropractor that they don't
know. We cite these cases merely
to show what can be done, if the To-
cal Chiropractor is willing to have
it done. 1t was a pleasure to make
these dashes around the country and
win.
