DR.. SCOTT, PIONEER
IN CH|ROPRACIlC
In Seven Years Practice Here
Has Most Remarkable
Success.

DIR. o. L. Scott is the pioneer IN
Salem of the Chir0praetie School. He
is. graduate of the Fountain Head
school of .Chiropraetie, of Davenport,
Iowa, and had had nine years prae-
tiee, seven of them in Salem where
countless numbers have been benefit
ell and cured by his adjustments. Many
of his patients are among the city s
best known residents and they are prac-
tically unanimous in their expressions
of satisfaetions with his adjustments
and enthusiastic in his praise. HIS
ever increasing patronage is an 80
quent testimonial to him personally,
and to Ghiropractic methods. 1t IS
one of the latest things in the realm
of science of the body and being eJni.
paratively new is not well understood
by many.
'"What is ehiropractic7" asked the
writer.
"It is the science Of common sense,
replied the doctor instantly. 1t teaches
that the brain is the source of all
bodily power; it is conveyed through
the spinal cord and nerves, which END
| in every tissue and organ of the body,
land there expresses health. That the
spinal cord and nerves are soft struc-
| tures and are surrounded by bones
which are hard. That these bones are
movable within certain degrees. That
when they are moved beyond that, by
accidents, the hard bones squeeze the
soft nerves, decrease their size, cut off
the flow of life from the brain to
organ. That the degree of pressure
registers the lack of brain current
that can t get to the tissue, hence
makes any one of thousand diseases.
The chiropractic knows why, and
how to remove these pressnres anu per-
Il nit the currents to continue transmits
sion for the purpose of reconstruction
of disease to health.
l 1t is science and method OF ad-
iusting the cause Of disease without
drugs or instruments, based on cor
lrect knowledge of anatomy, and espe'
cially the spine and nervous systems
The Chiropractie idea is that the cause
of disease is in the person afflicted
land the adjustment in correcting the
, wrong that is producing it. The func
ton of every organ in the body Is Ion
'trolled by mental impulse, from the
,brain which transmits through the
, nerves. Any impingement OF these
nerves interfering with the transmits
| sion of mental impulse results in al
, abnormal function called disease. This
interference is produced by subluxatee
vertebrae pressing upon the nerves a.
g. thew pass out from the spinal cord
The trained adjuster is able to locate
!, the point of obstruction or interfer
/. enee, and by means of adjusting tn
subluxated vertebrae correets the caus'
and normal conditions of health is th'
, result.
Investigation costs nothing AM
, means health and happiness.
The ehiropraetor does not pin hi
faith to any single panaeea. Simpl.
knowing that pressure Of bone on tn
nerve brings about abnormal physiea
conditions, he sets about to reheve Tn
: cause of the trouble and by his sklilfu
: manipulation of the hand, he soon |
able to bring about the proper adjus
lment.
~ would say to those who are slcF
worn out or troubled by disease, tina
an examination by chiropractor woul
be essentially the wisest course to TO
How. Nature may be hindered from he
proper functioning through nerve pres
sure. An analysis would soon locat
: the seat Of such disease and then .
