Article No. 29 Chiropractic For Health There sre forms of spinal de- rangement that can be traced directly to birth and accidents or injuries incident apon birth. Of course when the injury to the spine has been slight nature itself has counteracted the adverse condi- tions caustd, realigned the spine and the normal functioning has beem restored to the afflicted parts, Where the injury has been of a more serious character ft has been noted that weakness, irregular, deficient or excessive activity on the part of some organ has resulted in iNness, sometimes ef « grave nature to the child. These develop as the child grows and are soon easily recognized. The cause of all these afflictions incident to spinal derangement is the same— undue pressure upon nerves contro ling organs of the body. A Chiropractic examination of « child suffering from any chronie weakness or disease usually reveals dislocation of bones of the spine and it is the experience of Chiropractic that readjustment to normal is fol- lowed by dlsappeerange of the ail- ment and rapid return to health. A mother cannot go wrong if she will have her child's spine examined when it fs little. There may be noth- ing wrong; on the other hand, if there is a slight misalignment of vertebrae it will be detected soon enough so that it probably will never affect the child's health, Before consulting a Chiropractor always make inquiry to the Chiro~ practic Bureau of Publie Informa~ tion.
