For This [ GiUe Thanks

To be Chiropractor, daily minstering to the sick
and afflicted haiming none helping many; that indeed
privilege to be thankful for The Chiropractor not
only has the deep satisfaction of seeing great majority
of his patients get well but he also has the conenmcnt
mind that come from bringing about the desired results
without doing anything to mar Natures handiwork in
creating and directing the functions of the body.
He has neither added nor taken away one solitary
part or element in voved in the operation of that wonder
full machine He has recognized the supremacy of Uni
versa intelligence in creating and directing that body and
he has offended neither God man in accomplishing
his results He has not deprived the body of necessary
part or create an unnatural desire for destructive drug
He has simply made possible for Natures forces to &C
compsh their mission in the body restoring coordina-
hon the harmony of health.
If the Chiropractor has responded to his duty he
has not only mnistered TO the physical welfare of his
clients but he has given them vastly different outlook
on life He has not only given them health and happiness
but he has also instilcd into them new philosophy of
life He has not only liberated them from the cnaces
OF disease but he has also struck from them the shacles
of fear and superstition
The people who have left the shadows of superstition
and the necromancy of drugs and who have gone forth
into the light which Chropractc radacs have of
the surgeons knife. They know that should they be told
that their life depends upon operation the chances
are ten to one that the surgeon is in How do they
knows this? Daily they come in contact with people who
like themsclvcSc have been guided by their better Judge
men and have investigated Chiropractc Among these
people they find nearly everyone at some time
other advised TO undergo operation Any condition
that might have warranted operation is disappearing
under the Slrer results of spinal adjustments.
SO the Chropractor has been influential i'm turning
them from false teachings preventing the muiIaton of
their bodies and replacing pain with comfort weakness
with strength and disease with health.
And the Chiropractors Thanksgiving is no different
in this respect than all his other days throughout the
year Each night he has the satisfaction of know
ing that has accomplished good without ieopardz-
ing either life the future health of his pa ient Thanks
giving Day only presents him with the opportunity 10
scmbe all of these days that have come and gone which
offered him the opportunity to serve and he is thankful
not only for the year that past but for the year that

Does il seem a far cry back to he Pilgrim Fathers
They debarked upon Plymouth Rock apostles of religious
freedom They chose to develop their own souls accord

pie of the soul TheChropractor is an apostle of ply
steal freedom He asks only for himself the divine and
constitutional right TO the absolute control of his own
body and for his patients who desire it. the same right
If others lack the intelligence the judgement the convic

for himself his family and his clients he zeaouslv guards
that physical freedom with which every American has
been vested And because Chiropractors arc bless
