very quickly to spinal adjustments
and every child's spine should be ex-
amined by competent chiropractor'
Thousands of children are need
lessly suffering from some form Oh
spinal trouble, and while they are
Young is the time to have their spinal
defects adjusted.
If YOUR child is sick, weak or puny,
or not properly developed in any part
of the body, there is a CAUSE, and
invariably it is found in the spine. DO
not wait to see whether or not the
child will outgrow it; have its spine
palpated, and, if necessary, adjusted.
It is an acknowledged fact that II
a spinal analysis of all children were
mad,', the percentage of defects and
curvature would be in the majority.
The spinal column is the most i'm
portant framework of the body;
clinging to this wonderful and fleX-
ible chain of "a irregular bones are
many of the vital organs, and it is so
strong that it can bear a heavy bur
den, and yet so flexible that it will
respond to nearly any movement OF
the body; so long as it is normal and
has only the curves given it by nature,
it is the source of strength and grace,
but> when it is out of alignment, or
curvature exists, it causes disease.
Many times a slight spinal curva-
ture that is unnoticed or neglected
in childhood causes no trouble until
/ later in life. 1t is proven fact that
many cases of spinal curvature orig
mate in early life, and as the chila
grows older very often the curvature
becomes more pronounced, which
means more pressure on nerves sup
plying some part of the body, and 1t
is this pressure that invariably is
the cause of disease, shutting off the
nerve force and thereby preventing
nature from doing the work it once
did when not interfered with, is not
doing now because of the existing
nerve pressure, but will do again if
given free and uninterrupted trans
mission of nerve force, by removing
the pressure on the nerve or nerves
in the region of the spine where the
curvature or subluxation exists.
There can be no effect without
cause. This being true, why not re-
move the cause and let nature take
care of the effect?
Many of the defects of the spinal
column can be corrected by taking
Chiropractic Spinal Adjustments, and
many children now accounted as de-
fectives are victims of subluxation
or curvature of some part of the
spinal column that has affected the
nerve supply to some tissue or organ
of the body.
Fifteen hundred young boys at the
Kansas City Y. M. C. A. were exam.
ined and over fifty per cent were
found to have some form of spinal
trouble. You owe it to yourself, your
family, your children, to investigate
the Science of Chiropractic.
