For number of years past, many

While wish to give full credit to all
efforts directed along those lines,
whether from a medical, surgical or

way whatsoever to minimize any such
efforts, it appears from investigation
that among different methods of drug
less healing, Chiropractic stands out
pre:eminently above all other forms of
scientific drugless healing. With this
end in view l will print a series of
articles, one each week, starting next

which will be announced from time to
time. For the benefit of all readers
I wish to state that Chiropractic was
discovered over 20 years ago, by DR..
D. D. Palmer, of Davenport, Iowa. At
present there are approximately 5000
Chiropractors scattered throughout the
country, and a number of first-class
colleges and schools are furnishing
complete instructions to students.
While in publishing these articles
explaining Chiropractic and its rela-
ton to the curing of disease, do not
for one minute wish to make any de-
traction from any established profess
sion. Everything from a Professional
standpoint hasits place in the affairs
of the human family, whether it is the
surgeon, 0culist, OsteOpath, scientist,
ETC., and the articles to be published
are intended for educational purposes
of those who are sick and want help.
Each week the subject to be published
on the following week will be an
n0unced.
Next week: Chiropractic and Rheu-
matism.
