Physiio-Therapy
Its Meaning
Ind Use!

Physio- Therapy is one of the
oldest of all known therapies. The
word 'THERAPY" is derived from
the Greek Language. The word in
the original Greek means "To
Heal" In Mr.. Webster's Daily Use
Dictionary, the word "Therapeutic"
is defined with the single word,
"Curative." In the Consolidated
Webster Dictionary we find the
following: Therapeutics, h e
Science Which Treats Of The Heal
ing of Diseases And The Laws of
Health" The word, "Physio" has
reference to the physical body. The
hyphenated word "Physio- Thera-
ply" means "The Science Which
Treats Of The Healing of The
Physical Body and The Laws Of
Health"
Physio- Therapy is not of recent
origin. Excavations of ancient
ruins, especially in Egypt, disclose
the fact that disease was treated
among those Ancients by fasting,
purging, emetics, sweats. All this
with the very definite aim of as
sisting Nature to unload encum-
bering waste that was plainly the
cause of each disorder. Such treat
ments are limitations of Natures
own methods is far older than
drugs and surgery. Physio- Thera-
ply is only the application of Natur-
al Methods.
Physio- Therapy is practical. It's
use implies the application of meas
ures or devises employing heat,
lights, friction, electricity, air, vi
brations, water, massage, manipu-
lations, rest, sleep, fasting, purg-
ing, fever, sweating and the prop
err use Of pure liquids.
This system Of Health Service
is designed to relieve human all
ments and suffering through the
use Of Natural Methods, without
the use of harmful drugs, synthe-
tic remedies, or major surgery.
The Natural Methods referred to
above are more generally known
in their strict classification as
Naturopathy, Physio-Therapy, and
Chiropractic. These specific types
Of Health Service are offered at
the American Physio- Therapy In
stitute, Inc, One-half mile West
Of Jackson Country Club, on Gin
ton Boulevard, to both colored and
white patients, Male and Female
Attendants.
