Chiropractic For
Infantile Paralysis.

is a type OF paralysis in general, it Is
an unnatural interference with normal
physiological function. Its cause Is
not by any means so complex as to be
beyond understanding, as many peo-
pie believe. 1t Is true that a great

quite often truthfully state that the
cause Is unknown, and always will be.

Many claims have been made that
Infantile Paralysis Is caused by germ
so small that no glass has ever been
made powerful enough to see it. There
are at the present time thousands Of
people suffering from fear due to the
scare over Infantile Paralysis and there
are also thousands Of persons afflicted
with the disease whose suffering could
be relieved and health restored by
Chiropractic Spinal Adjustments which
removes the pressure from the nerves
responsible for the trouble. Technical
ly speaking, Infantile Paralysis Is an
Inflammation Of the anterior horns of
the spinal cord and scientifically named
Poliomyelitis. It seems to affect child
rem more than it does adults, and many
children are handicapped by useless
arm, lower limb, or paralysis OF both
by this dreadful disease. There are
thousands that believe such cases are
hopeless and that the afflicted will al
ways remain helpless thru life.
The Science Of Chiropractic comes
d, a deiiveIeure to great many OF
these supposed hopeless cases. What is
the cause Of Infantile Paralysis? It is
caused by pressure upon nerves which.
II continued for any length Of time and
severe enough, will result in degenera-
ton and final destruction Of the nerve
cells. If the degeneration Of the tissue
cell only Is present, restoration by
Chtropractic Spinal Adjustments is as
sured. The degeneration referred to in
cases Of this kind u brought about by

fact proven by the spinograph (x-ray
machine) causing pressure on the soft
nerves by harder Tissues. The body has
reparative mechanism to combat this
condition. Chiropractic skill, It IL ad-
mitted, succeeds In setting this me-
chanism in motion. Would 1t not be
wise and common sense proposition
If you or any member of the family
suffering fro n1the disease to at least
have their spine examined by a compe-
tent Chiropractor before you make the
statement that there Is no cure? Chi
ropractors believe that preventive
measures should be kept up; Chiro-
practors give the same importance to
disease as any other school of the heal
ing art
The resistance Of the body depends
upon the condition Of the spinal col
unn; the Chiropractor makes it his
business to build up the resistance. The
body win combat disease so long as the
resistance Is normal. Chiropractic
Spinal Adjustments are positively
harmless. It would seem that persons
interested in protection from the dan
ger of disease would speedily consult
Chiropractor.
