to a n article, 1 want to feel that I am doing SO because It stands or
something. but after my observations of the last few years, it has led
me to recommend very highly that people who are not in good health
see a Chiropractor and take adjustments.
There is one thing particularly 1 wish to cite. Patient ten years OF
age brought to my office, edema of the lower extremites marked Ease
of ascites; edema of the eyelids and deep muscles of the back: per-
cussion showed an enormously diated heart, which diagnosis was veri-
fled by means of a skiagraph and a marked mnral reorganization. This
case was adjusted for six months and I watched the ase, daily. gy-
pure unaduterated Chropractic for this boy. l expected his death
daily, but was surprised to SEE a gradual change for the better that was
in the size of the heart. The edema left in a few days time and stayed
for two o. three weeks He then filled up again, but only to a slight
one year from the time he was brought to me, percussion and radio
graph show. his heart to be almost down to normal in size. Ausculta-
and carrying on the usual sports that boys of his age resort to, in fact,
tt Is one of the most remarkable cases that 1 have ever come in con-
tact with and the improvement has been o marked, yet gradual and at
the sam timebecoming normal.

shown by both Of them ! could not help but imbibe somewhat of their
enthusiasm and from this / was led to investigate and from my investi-
cations to confirmation and naturally conversion.
When 1 take up a case medically, which of course now that is ar
feel honestly and thoroughly interested in impatient and in my in
vesdgahons al to what is the ailment of my patient, but Just the moment
treatment this patient shall have, then I begin to founder and 1 begin
to wonder, will this drug have any specific action on this patient?"
will, but those same authorities know that it will not. 1t may in some
cases and has this action in a large enough number of cases $ o as to
gain for it q Recommendation o m this particular trouble, however, to
sum it all up, it's a great big success.
1 could go o. and write page after page by taking up Individual
cases but in the above words have tried to show the general summing
up. If the question was put to me now and l had to decide between the
