EDITOR The West Virgfnian1-On
April the 22nd an article appeared in
your paper wherein DR. +. +. Farms
worth OF the Public Health Service,
says that Ghiropractors are fakes pure
and simple. challenge this state
ment. But TO be fair to Dr. Farms
be of the same opinion. But the time
came to me and my family when. we
were forced to change our opinion. It.
happened like this, cur Oldest child
took sick, with what was finally dag
nosed by the medical profession as
Hodgins disease. They frankly told
US that nothing could be done. that
the disease was incurable. then
took this child. with the incurable d.
sease to On. Ruley, (chiropractor)
who was then being prosecuted by the
the Doctor not to take the case, she
said: 'If the child dies 1t may give
you lots OF trouble" However, he
took the case and in six months time
the child was apparently well.
Since that time he has taken care
OF one case of pneumonia fever and
five cases of influenza In my family,
with perfect success. Am l not Jus
tilted, and is 1t not my duty to chal-
lenge DR.. Farms worth's statement,
which might be misleading to those
who know not the facts?
Mark Twain says, There's a faint
OF human nature in all of u.s." and I'm
OF the opinion that it's coming TO a
Bread and Butter" proposition which
is forcing the medical profession to
build fence around the public and
make 1t impossible for the chiroprac-
tors to climb over. But with US the
public its LIFE and HEALTH prop
osition, and therefore up to us to see
to 1t, that such fence IS not Duiit.
It's our bushes to say who shall be
our family physician, and not the bus
mess Of the American Medical associa
dion. There are times when we need
the medical doctor, and times when
we need the chiropractoT, all of which
depends on the nature of the case.
Give us both. DR.. Farnsworth, for
the good Of suffering humanity, and
we, the public will be as fair as we
know how.

Augusta County, Virginia, was form.
ed in 1873, in line with the policy of
the House of Burgesses of Virginia to
keep civil government in advance of
the most adventurous pioneers. The
boundary of Augusta County was not
very definitely stated, In fact the de.
scription was 'the utmost parts OF
Virginia" The territory included ex.
tended from the Blue Ridge on the
east TO the Mississippi river on the
west From the original limits OF
Augusta County have been carved the
States OF West Virginia, Kentucky,
OHIO, Indiana, Illinois and Michigan.
The western boundary of Augusta
County when it was formed was the
French possessions Of Louisiana. Aug.
usta County was gradually divided in.
70 other counties and finally Virginia
ceded the territory beyond the Ohio
% the United States and then The
District Of West Augusta" was formed
which included two thirds of no
county of Randolph, half Of Barbour.

two thirds Of Tyler and the whole Of
Wetzel, Marshall, Ohio, Brooke and
Hancock and the whole Of Greene and
Washington and parts OF Allegheny
and Beaver counties, Pennsylvania.
