CHIROPRACTIC FOR
WOMEN

The. world today is busy with
preparedness. In almost every
Aline Of business and endeavor is
heard the demand Prepared
ness. Greater in its significance
than all those phases of prepar-
edness is the awakening of wom-
an to her universal and common
needs in regard to perfect
health. Every woman, irrespec-
tive Of age, and particularly
married women, are entitled to
'Rerfect health. But women or
mothers are not always strong,
and many are the reasons there
for. Some diseases common to
oman are Golfer, Chronic
Headache, Nervousness, Rheu-
matism, Insomnia, Tumors, etc.
ARTICLES relating to these dis
eases and others will be taken up
in later issues), and for each
and every one there is a cause.
A subluxated vertebrae causing
pressure on any nerve or nerves
produces disease. Again, owing
to woman's part in life, such as
motherhood, cares and worries
incident to home and children,
and numerous other causes, are
agencies which help to cause dis
ease. In all diseases of women
so great has been the success of
Chiropractic that thousands who
formerly suffered are finding re-
Lief through Chiropractic adj
justments. The same principle
applies to adjustments for the
very large class known as wom-
ems diseases, and trouble is Of
ten found due to impinged
nerves, caused perhaps from a
fall in childhood or from some
slight accident which at the
time Of happening was not deem
ed to be of any Importance as
affecting a person in after-life.
Pressure on nerves causes
headache, chronic or otherwise !;
dizziness, insomnia, etc.
At it's best, motherhood is a
tax upon the strength of the
strongest woman, and every
mother needs, and she has all a
mothers right to require that
she be given every aid that mod
ern science can give her in order
that she may regain her health.
Chropractic is one of those aids.
It operates to remove the pres
sure from the nerve or nerves
controlling the region involved.
