Two Medical Stories
of Unusual Interest

Medical doctors don't usually ex-
press much confidence in chiroprac-
tors 4, and chiropractors usually
rectprocate in kind. Inxfac each
side generally gives the other fell
lows the dickens, like Taft and
Roosevelt did in the campaign Of
1912 when both OF them were candi-
dates for the presidency, both Re-
publicans, but running as Republi-
can and Bull Moose. In that cam
paign Col Bryan wanted to go to
the Republican convention at
Chicago, the steam roller c0nven-
tion, and he wrote and asked for q
press pass. In the letter he said,
II will try not to say anything worse
about either Of them (Taft or Roose-
velt) than each Of them is saying
about the other" That was con-
sidered SO good that the press pass
was issued to Mr.. Bryan.
But to get back to doctors and
chiropractors, we couldn't possibly
say anything worse than each of
them has said about the others in
times goneby. 1t is claimed that
undertakers never wish for anybody
to die and that doctors always wish
that everybody might have good
health and no accidents, and we
know, Of course, that here is temp
tation to forget to wish it very hard
sometimes. Some fellow tells this
story about domestic affairs in the
family Of chiropractor.
The chiropractor's little daughter,
a wee tot, was being trained to ask
the blessing sometimes, and at times
she did 1t very we'll, but when there
was company it was hardly safe to
call on her for that. On this oc-
CASTOR, however, they did, and she
shut her eyes and ratified 1t of as
follows: God bless mamma, God
bless papa make everybody sick is
that all right mammal"
Col. Bryan tells one on the medi-
cal doctors that runs like this: "A
small girl was lying very low with
some strange ailment and DR..
Straight and the two doctors he had
called into consultation agreed and
that little Emma could
not get well, and that it would be
only matter of hours-less than a
day until she would pass out, and so
saying they went their way, saying
that they had done everything under
heaven that could be done to save
her.
The parents called in chiroprac-
or, who examined her, adjusted
mot in her spine and reduced the
ever in thirty minutes. After a few
hours of sleep she slipped some
slept again and took
more nourishment. She continued
0 improve and on the third day DR..
straight phoned to ask if there was
ny news of Emma, he had not scent
ny announcement of her death
yhat was the outcome of the case?
The child's mother reported that
lmma was sitting up and was TAX
ne nourishment, and then at the
octor's inquiry she told him what
hey had done and closed with, "And
he's improving every hour"
DR.. Straight responded, "Well,
'ell, that's fine. If she keeps on i'm
rowing few days she will be able
D take some more medicine"
But doctors are not the only one
nat prosper by the misfortune of
theirs. The wheat growers in
merica feel refreshed when they
ear that Patagonia has a short
rop. The Idaho potato growers
ave been hoping there would be a
1ortage Of potatoes in the middle
est. This little paper has reported
lie shortage in the Greeley district
ne to lack of water, and gave it as
pod news to our local farmers be-
ause it reduced the visible supply
potatoes when they have a
lrplus.
