How long does it take to get

tainly no one could promise. each
patient is a law unto himself and
as there are many things that may
turn the tide one way or another,
no Chiropractor can tell how a
given case will terminate.
Any Chiropractor. or any one
who claims to be one. that PROM

who pretends to be able to tell
you how long. it is going to take

We need not say that epson
salts and antiphlogistine are NOT
Chiroprachc. If we remember that
Chiropractic is the science of re-
moving the CAUSE of disease and
NOT treating it and that the Chiro-
practor uses nothing but his hands,
