"What You Want to Know
QUESTION NO. It "My Aan and arm. to la
and ha ntaJlet and pint. Can you da anything for thaO"
PRESSURE on nerve tissue causes the "going io.
sleep," or numbness. You become Bware of this
snd remove the pressure; the nerve begins to awnkennd
it is the restoring of Ihe mental impulses to the parts
that causes the sensations known as needles and pins.
A S stated, the cause is the pressure on nerv$ " For
instance, you may have the arm over the back of
a chair, or over your head, or sleeping with the ami over
the edge of the bed; any mechanical pressure will pro
duce it. Any one using crutches may have, it. It may
be a symptom of a very mild form of talsy.
J"OW, if arms go to sloep while the body is at rest.
without any apparent cause, you may rest assured
that there are nerves pinched somewhere that need the
attention of a competent Chiropractor. Every nerve
that supplies the arm has it-s exit from the neural canal
between vertabrae that are movrablo, and therefore,
subject to subluxations (slight displacement), malting
pressure enough to produce the same effect as when
you have your arm across the chair, table, etc.
Ct'PPOSE your arm heavy anil numb from such a
condition, how much work would you do with it?
Now, suppose this same, condition to your livor! The
only difference would be that you would not have tha
needles and pins, owing to the absence of sensory
nerves. But sluggishness and heavy lifelessness would
, be there. Can you expect any more of your liver than
you would from your arm, undsr the same ooqditions?
Then, why wonder about your costiveness?
DISEASE is the result of pressure, and it is equal in
degree to the amount of pressure, regardless of
location. ,
EIGHTY per cent of the operations could be avoid
ed by taking Chiropractic, adjustments, whether
it be tonsilitia, appendicitis, or In the large number of
canes known as "Women's Diseases."
OFFICE adjustments are twelve for ten dollars, or
'thirty for twenty-five dollars. Consultation is
Jree. House calls are made 'day or night.
