Within the reach of all
Do you know that you can travel many thous-
and miles and spend thousands of dollars in your
seach for Health and Happiness, only ;.o find upon
your return home that the great boon was within
your reach all the time?
THE DEUGLESS HEALTH SCIENCE OF CHIR-
OPRACTIC HAS MADE THIS POSSIBLE
FOR YOl .
Quarter of a century old, it has during that
time, offered relief to thousands of sick and suf-
fering people, restoring them to HEALTH and
HAPPINESS.
If there had not been some merit in the Sci-
ence, it would have died a natural death long ere
this, instead of adding to its ranks of enthusiastic
supporters, those who had benefitted by actual
experience, as each succeeding year rolled by.
NO DRUGS—NO SURGERY-NO OSTEOPATHY
Nothing but the locating of the actual
CAUSE of so-called Disease, and by the use of the
bare hands alone, adjusting same.
NO DALLYINY WITH THE EFFECT. The
Chiropractor takes the stand that the majority of
Disease is caused by NERVE PRESSURE, which
in its turn is caused by a subluxation (displace-
ment) of one or more of the vertebrae (small
bones of the spine).
CHIROPRACTIC VERTEBRAL ADJUST-
ME NTS given by a skilled ( hiropractor, put the
vertebrae back to their normal positions, the nerve
pressure is relieved. The vital force flows unin-
terruptedly to the organs involved, which then
1 unctions normally an dthe result is HEALTH
and HAPPINESS.
Consultation and Spinal Analysis FREE.
Will be in Bastrop on Mondays. Wednesdays
and Fridays, from 12 to 1 p. m. Will be in Smith-
vi'le at all other times at old Hospital Building.
