Chiropractic has been recog
nized by the railroad men of. the
United States as being a very
necessary part of the hospital
system of the railroads, and sev
eral of the Eastern railroads
have recently adopted chiroprac
tic adjustments in connection
with their hospital work, parti
cularly the Missouri Pacific rail
road. Aside from the railroads, the
Franklin Automobile Co. of
Syracuse, N. Y., and other large
industrial organizations of the
East have adopted the chiroprac
tic policy for the benefit of their
employes.
Chief among the reasons for
the remarkable growth of
chiropractic is the fact that it
removes the cause of practically
every ill known to mankind, by
relieving the pressure upon the
nerves that carry the life-giving
force to every organ and cell of
the body.

converts every day purely upon
its merits. California Breezes,
