No better than the Best But Better than the Rest. right at the Burlington ADJUSTS it. . \ I =) The Liberty Motor The Liberty Motor is one of the wonders of the twentieth century, » but unless kept in the best condition at all times, it cannot do the work required of it. All its parts must be in perfect adjustment, and are gone over carefully by experts before Being used. The human body is the most wonderful machine, not of this age alone, but of all ages. Yet it is a deplorable fact that thousands neglect it and pay no attention at all to the care of its delicate and intricate machinery. For centuries those in the business of so-called “healing” have been “treating” the effect instead of adjusting the cause of dis-ease so that it is a wonder the human race has not become extinct, or at the best, in a condition of degeneration long ere this. This SCIENCE teaches the law of CAUSE and effect. It pays no at- tention to the effect, but locates the cause of so-called dis-¢ase and The Human Machine: like the Liberty Motor, must have every part perfectly adjusted, otherwise there will be a lack of ease, commonly called dis-gase. The keystone of the machine is the spine, or backbone. The vertebrae (small bones of the spine) must be in perfect alignment. If any of them are out of alignment (subluxated) they cause an impinge- ment (pinching) of the nerves emerging from the spinal column, and the vital force flowing from the brain through these nerves to the vari- ous organs is interrupted, causing dis-ease in that Particular organ which should be supplied by the vital force.
