VIII a fair minded pubic allow
itself to be prejudiced by a one
sided story against a healing art
which is sweeping the country like
a tornado?
There are now 1900 Chiroprac-
tors giving relief to sufferers in
this country, and $500 students in
the Palmer School of Chiropractlc
at Davenport, Iowa, alone, and in
addition 35 other schools with their
quota of students. Ch1ropractic is
here on its merits, and will contin-
ue on its merits TO the end. 1t
does not countenance prejudice, or
the persecution of ether science IN
their endeavor to heal the sick. 1t
is on the way to success and has
no time for such things. So much
in general, and now for a state
ment of facts in specific case.
! met a lady on the evening OF
the 10th of August on my way to
supper. She spent about ten min
utes telling me the good that Chiro-
practic had done her, having TAX
en- about so adjustments, but that
she had bad cold and would re-
turn the next day for an adjust
ment for the same. She came at
noon time of the 18th, walking
about a half mile through the hot
test part of a very hot day. When
she arrived at the office, she com
planned of feeling sick and dizzy.
Her face was red and pupils dilat-
ed. DR.. Cassidy adjusted her as
she had many times before. Her
neck was stiff, and after two inef
fectual attempts to give her an
adjustment in the neck, which were
admittedly no more severe than
usual, decided not to give the ad-
justment in this region at all. She
left the adjusting room by herself,
and went to a cot in the rest room
unassisted, where DR.. Cassidy, rec
ognizing from her first entrance
into the office that she was not
feeling well, stayed with her for
a few minutes to see if she could
be of some assistance. Some time
after she had gone out the pa
tient called to her, saying that she
felt sick and dizzy and asked for
a stimulant, which was not avail
able. Then she asked for a physi-
clan and that her husband be sent
for, with which last request DR..
Cassidy complied. Her husband
then went for the physician who
came into the hall shortly after
her husband returned. DR.. Cas-
cady was sitting in the waiting
room with patient and
the physician failed to an
nounce himself in any way, un-
til she finally told him to go on in,
indicating tho ladies' dressing room
door. After q stay Of about %
minutes, the - vsiciGn and the pa
TENTS fusbar6 came out carrying
her. Dr.. Cassidy inquired as they
went down the stairs how she was,
to which the physician replied:
shes right miserable"
Dr.. Cassidy then said: 81 hope
she will be all right soon" To
which he replied: 81 think she
will" When the patients nus
band returned for something left
behind. DR.. Cassidy asked him
what the physician said was the
matter, end he replied, Nervous
ness" She also asked him if the
physician gave her a puncture, to
which he replied, Yes"
Saturday, the 18th, marked the
beginning of the returns, to the
effect that DR.. Cassidy had adj
justed her too high and shocked
the brain, that she had come with
m fraction of breaking her neck,
ect. TIE patient sent word that
she would like to see her if she
cared to call So we went in Sat
urday evening, DR.. Cassidy and
myself. We found her in bed,
and during the conversation she
casually rolled her head from side
to side, which would hardly indi-
cote anything very much amiss.
She said that she did not
know anything until Fri
day night, but when question
ed, said that she was perfect
ly conscious until after the ply
