BELIEVE U. S. CAN HALT WORLD’S ECONOMIC RUIN BY HIRAM K. MODERWELIL. ble to The_Star and Chicage Dally News. Dy Gable o T, o yriaht. 101, LONDON, Engiand, October 15.— “~he hope that the Washington con- *arence w11l somehow lead to economic «s well as political stability constant- sy reappears in both the written and verbal oplnions expressed here. The nancial and economic problems of rope, especially those of the inter- liled debts and international ex- change. preoccupy thoughtful persons increasingly. Although it is perfect- ly understood that such matters are not on the ugenda of the Washington conference, certain circles here open- Jy express the hope or belfef that it will not stop at merely polidical and :military subjects. In _general the belief persists that the United States is able and willing to met the world on its economic feet again, und it is significant that ex- pressiors of such opinlon are increas- ing as the time of the conference ap- proaches. S 4 * British Position Diffcult. Britain's position is pecullarly difi- cult because her exchange is down far enough to make'it costly for hér to import, but not far enough to make it easy for her to export lence her unemployed roll call of 1.750,000, the relief’ of whom is a problem hardly less preoccupying to the government than Ireland. Dally offorts are being made looking to- ward the stabilization of the ex- changes. But eyery one realizes that such plans are incomplete without the ieadership. or. at least, the help, of the United States, and hence all schemes turn toward Washington and uext month’s conference has become their lodestar. “T am convinced,” said Austin Har- ——e e "JAIL FOR MOONSHINERS. * Richmond Court Takes Stand for Severe Punishment.

When blindness overtook him he was forced to sell his business, and since November, 1920, he has traveled extensively, seeking a cure for his affliction. He spent | considerable time in Baltimore, visited New York, Philadelphia and even journeyed to Rochester, Minn.. He consulted the best spe- cialists in these 'cities, and his case was pronounced incurable. These are his own words: “When I left Palatka I was suffering from rheumatism as well as blindness. The special- ists I consulted treated me very kindly and considerately. Some | applied medicines to my eyes, some advised an operation. Six months ago I consented to have all my natural’ teeth removed, i| upon the advice of a specialist, who thought that my teeth were poisoning my eyes. - These teeth were found to be sound, and this operation failed utterly to re- store my sight. - I want it perfect- ly understood that I bear no ill will against any of these physi- cians who gave up my case as hopeless. They treated me with the greatest sympathy, and did their utmost to-heip me. They were greatly interested in my case, and asked that I notify them # once if I ever found a cure. “Dr. Riley’s treatment caused | me no pain, and has restored my general health as well as my ’ eyesight. My rheumatism is now entirely gone. I have never been so happy in my life, and he has earned my undying gratitude. It was due to a fortunate incident that I heard about the physician who cured me, and indirectly I am indebted to Dr. R. E. Downs, a student in the Riley School. It i_was he who advised my sister-in- law to come to Washington, where she was cured” of high blood pressure by Dr. Riley in a surprisingly short time. Her case had been pronounced incur- able, too. ‘It was immediately after her recovery that I came to ‘Washington.” ADVERTISEMENT. The Treatment ‘The patient, after diagnosis by Dr. Riley, was found to be suf- fering ‘from complete paralysis of the optic nerve, resulting in total blindness. He was exceedingly sore in the neck.and back. The ' .|-occipital, first and second cer- cal vertebrae were found to be approximated (drawn too closely | together) and subluxated (slight- ly devidted from the riormal). The atlas. had been rotated to the right. The fifth, seventh-and tenth dorsal vertebrae were sub- luxated posteriorly (pushed | slightly backward). The condition of these last three vertebrae re- rheumatism. The nerves, thus.impinged, were also sympathetically affecting the en- tire nervous system. . Treatment consisted-in adjust- ing these: abnormalities to’ the normal and cofcussing. that part of the spine that affécted the cranial region. Special manipu- lationg and exercises of the eyes were resorted’ to, and pressure was applied between the eyeball and the bony. structure aboye. ‘The deep therapy light (actino ray) was applied the entire length of the spine. This light was so effective in stimulating the spinal nerves that the patient’s vision returned momentarily -while it was being’ applied. This - effect was observed during the first three weeks of treatment. On Tuesday, October -4, about four weeks after these, treat- ments were begun, the patient could distinguish light from darkness and appreciate size and outline. On Friday, October 7, he saw the: features of his yhy: sician for the first time. Sunday, October 9, he was permitted to remove his blue glasses. The past week he has been enjoying the sights of the capital.

HERBERT CROOK of Palatka, Fla., who was ‘ured of total blindness by Dr. Riley. “Blind! “You may as well realize the truth; you will never be able to see again!” These words, uttered softly, gravely, but feelingly, had the crushing weight, the relentless cruelty of a death sentence! This, the final, the unanimous verdict of nationally renowned eye specialists; this, the fruit of weary pilgrimages from Flor- ida to New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore; this, the re- night! him in the dark coffin of living * % % % x % Every day during the past four weeks early morning patients in the unpretentious offices of Dr. Riley would see enter a sad-faced dejected man of slight build, of less than medium stature. On his features was written a tale of suffering and shattered hopes. This man, Mr. Herbert Crook of Palatka, Florida. His eyes were completely sheltered, front and sides, with glasses of the deepest hue. He was totally blind! " Ever at his side to guide his footsteps were his faithful wife and his wife’s sister, Miss Lillian Frost of Ocala. Florida. The face of the latter radiated health and optimism in striking Contrast to her male companion’s. It was she who, after six months of unavailing hos- pital treatment, was completely cured of high blood pressure by Dr. Riley. It was she who held out to him the last straw of hope in his hours of despair. At her urgence he had come to Washington. #Nervously, silently, patiently he sat, day after day, to await his turn. Other patients, nodding in his direction, would whisper in tones of pity: “So sad, his blindness! For him is there any hope? Can anything be done?” \ Today this man can see! His restored vision is not the mere power to sense light and darkness, to distinguish form and color. He moves about unassisted! He reads! And why, you may :;sk, do we pub- lish this? ward of hours of patient waiting in the blackness of eternal ~ Forever must the somber lid of sightlessness compress death! * ok ok % Of all the physicians this man visited, -did one recommend Dr. Riley, although he had cured similar cases of blindness before? Of all the eye specialists who gave up his case as beyond their power to cure, did one even suggest chiropractic treatment? This man had had all his natural teeth removed six months ago at the recommendation of a specialist, who believed that his teeth were affect- ing his eyesight. ' And his teeth, when extracted, ‘were- found to be perfectly sound! This part of his anatomy, which no human can restore, is his priceless contribution to medico-surgical experi- mentation. To us his recovery is no miracle; no play of magic art; no secret lodged in the obscure formula of an ancient tongue. For the dictums of our science are based 'on the unalterable laws of physics and physiology. With Lincolnian simplicity, with childlike naivety our beloved teacher unfolds to us_each day the simple methods by which such cures are wrought. Unethical, this report? Should these sublime truths be hidden away useless as were this man’s eyes? Or should we trust to the inaccu- racies of héarsay to make them known? Rather will we let the whirr of the news- paper -press proclaim this glittering triumph of our reverent leader who, we believe, is the greatest teacher-physician that lives today!
