Chiropractic Adjustments
Will Correct the Cause of Colds, In-
fluenza and Other Bodily Ailments
mm—ms——mm

This is the season of the year when colils and la grippe i
(influenza) are quite prevalent. Colds are extremely dis- x
agreeable and irritating, and a cold neglected is very likely §
to develop into a more serious type of illness.
THE VALUE OF CHIROPRACTIC
Chiropractic adjustments will release the vital nerve §
forces that are required to keep your resistance up to par. |
You have within you all the resisting power you need, but §
that power is of no service to you so long as it does not §
reach every part of your body. As long as there is nerve im- 1
pingement the flow of vital force to the various organs will |
be interrupted.
The competent chiropractor is carefully trained to locate =
the place of nerve interference in your spine, and to release g
such interference by adjusting the vertebral subluxation =
that is causing pressure on nerves.
Chiropractic is a natural method by which to keep g
strong and healthy. Thousands of individuals have been =
restored to robust health and vigorous activity by the up- 5
plication of its principles, and its impressive record of j|
achievement in restoring sick people to health merits your J
consideration, investigation and trial.
If you have vertebral subluxations requiring s;x visits |j
to the Chiropractor, no Chiropractor living will he able to §
take care of your case in three visits. So take your adjust- %
ments right, REGULARLY and over a sufficient length |
of time. £
This is the time of year when your Chiropractor is busy, g
so please arrange to take your adjustments by appointment, g

paper. The women are to get the cor-
rect address of each soldier and turn
it into the city office by the 18th of
December. A list of over 250 names
was typewritten with 10 or more
names given to each woman to get
the addresses. Each one pledged to
do this.
