CHIROPRACTIC
Health Talk
Results alone is keeping Chiropractic in,
the world. It is a fact that health has been
restored to thousands of cases after many
other methods have failed, by taking
Chiropractic adjustments.
YOU ARE AS OLD
AS YOUR NERVES
All the functions and activities of the
body are dependent upon the nerve-force
Your functional organs, your circulation
and that elimination of wastes which keeps
your body clean, are all dependent upon
your nervous energies, and your nervous
energies are primarily dependent upon the
, condition of your spine.
The first and most serious process indicative of old age is the
deterioration of the spine. If you can keep your spine straight and
strong and flexible, then you can maintain in perfect health and vigor
the great central nervous system upon which the vitality and energy
of the human body are dependent.
Keep the spinal vertebrae in alignment less they impinge the
spinal cord and spinal nerves. Keep the spine straight, as in youth.
And keep the spine strong so that it may be kept straight and flexible.

The Wings of the Aeroplane
What Is tho New Romance to us groundlings,
who crane our necks to watch the air feats?
There is the mystery of a new element, with
adventure and discovery ahead; the white wings
of the galleons of Columbus lend a similar magic
to the imagination f
There is the vision of loveliness in light and
distance and the beauty of the great bird monsters
, themselves, gripping the heart even as the triangle
of wild geese in their flight
And through all and above it all, there is the
romance of power the man-driven flight, with
its young courage, its possibilities, its promises.
