There are thousands of sick people who have grown discouraged
after trying various health methods with little, or no resells.
For some of these people there may truly be little hope, but
for many others, Chiropractic perhaps would be the means of
renewed hen’h and vio-reus activity. If vou fel that yon have

Chiropractic today.
