''Palmer Graduate" Means
ChirOpractic Efficiency

Palmer Graduates is the proud
title that J. P. Baaker, chiropractor
of Gardiner. is able to write after
his name. For the public knows that
a chiropractor who has graduated
from the Palmer school has been
forced to take the most rigid course
of study before he could be awarded
the much coveted diploma. DIR. Bax-
ter has taken this course. has secur-
ed his diploma and has for a number
of years practiced successfully in
Gardiner.
So many amazing cures Of all
kinds have been the result Of chiro-
practic, that those who came to
scott, have remained to praise.
Chiropractic is founded on the prin-
ciple that the great 10 jority of hui
man ailments are due to poor adjust
ment of the verterbrae of the spinal
column and that if proper adjust
ments are made, then health will re-
suit. How true this has proved DR..
Baxter can relate by recalling cases
of all kinds that seemed incapable OF
being helped but have not only been
benefited but have been cured by
chirorractic. So great a demand has
there been for his services that he
finds it necessary to MAINTAIN offices
in both Hallowell and Gardiner.
