Are You Handicapped
By Sickness?

Handicaps as they apply to sports
are voluntary and are only imposed
because the athlete or animal who
carries the handicap is much super
ior to those with whom he is COM
peting. What about the handicaps
which we see all around us each and
every day? Handicaps which are
involuntary, handicaps which have
been unnaturally imposed, handi-
caps of Disease imposed through
carelessness, negligence or NAL
practice. There are thousands of
people in the world at the present
time who are thus handicapped
through no fault of their own and if
the handicaps of sickness are not re-
moved, they can never expect to
win the race.
1t has been acknowledged by the
most skeptical that Ninety-fve per
cent of the handicaps of sO-called
disease are due to some spinal trou-
