Nothing Succeeds Like Success

Chiropractic was discovered in 1895 by D. D. Palmer, devel- oped by his son, J. B. Palmer, and has become the leading non medical system of healing. The Palmer School of Chiropractic- "Chiropractic Fountain Head'-- at Davenport, Iowa, has an ac- tual attendance of approximate ly $500 students; free clinic where 2,000 to 5000 sick people are adjusted daily. A faculty of forty well-trained instructors are devoting their entire time to the school. It has an osteolog- ical studio .unequa1ed anywhere in the world. 1t is the Mecca of chiropractic and its patients in- clude such men as the late Theodore Roosevelt, William Jennings Bryan, Lieut.. .-Gov.

Those who know nothing of chiropractic are it's enemies; those who have tried it are its friends.
 Chiropractic is mechanical in principle.
 Since the human body is delicate machine with the brain as the dynamo, it is through the nervous system that is transmit ted that mysterious power known as life. When every cell receives it's 100 per cent life, perfect function or health is the result. Any interference along the course of any nerve, which prevents the free expression of life, is the cause of disease. A trained chiropractor must be able to analyze the human body, locate and scientifically remove the obstruction. Therefore, a trained chiropractor is one who thorouhgly understands the me chanical structure of the human body, it's normal and abnormal functions and symptoms arising thereform.
 The knowledge of materia med ica, bacteriology, diagnosis and surgery is non essential to the trained chiropractor. Chiroprac- tors devote more time to the study of anatomy, physiology, symptomology, chiropractic an alysis and adjusting. Thesesare aScantiolS
