WHAT CRI80PBABTIC DOES
Tiie National Chiropractic Association has
compiled statistics showing that last winter 8G5
doctors of Chiropractic professionally cared for
35,311 cases of influenza, of whom all but 41
recovered.
This h a Death Ratio of One-Ninth of One Per Cent.
This low death rate is due to the efficacy of
Chiropractic Spinal Adjustments. There is
nothing known to the art of healing that can
compare with this record of Chiropractic in its
