potent in attaining Health than drugs.
 It was only in the last half century that a sane and req sonable theory of attaining Health was put into practice, which proved the old practices of taking something for this and that ailment to be utterly un- necessary. This theory was but the re-birth of the ancient teach ing of Hippocrates, and is to- day the teachings and belief of the Chiropractic profession.
 Ever mindful that the wise providence put within each and every body the power to heal, to give health, and that it is this power alone that can restore lasting Health, is the answer to ''R E c AIN E D HEAL I'll THROUGH CHIROPRA CTIC T R E A T M E N T s, WHERE DRUG M E T H O D s HAD FAILED"

Debunking False Prophets

The country's self-appointed re-
formers have been telling us that
advertising raises the cost of living.
Let's, see. Let's take an example
that everybody is familiar with
Cast your mind back to what you
knew or what your parents knew of
the automobile of the first few years
of this century. Then a big, heavy
unreliable gas eater could be
bought, without top, windshield,
horn or spare tire, for from two to
six thousand dollars. Few people
bought this expensive luxury
But automobile makers saw Wis
ion. nation on wheels. They adj
vertised persistently. More people
bought AS production went up, the
cost to make each car came down.
Part Of the saving was put into i'm
/ provement. Part went into con-
tinued advertising. Part went to
the public in lower prices. Again
more people bought these better
cars for less money.
And SO it went year after year.
Continued advertising, production
and value up, cost and price down,
until today you buy an infinitely
better car, more efficient car, COM
plete, for less than half of the low
est price of few years ago.
4 The same is true of the refriger-
ator, vacuum cleaner, washing ma
chine, oil burner, radio, electric
light bulb; of packaged foods,
clothes, and many another product
that will come to your mind as you
think this over. Advertising, says
Nations Business, has helped mass
selling and made possible mass pro-
duction which cuts the cost and
brings the price within the reach of
the average family.
