LECTURE ON CHIROPRACTIC

Tim spacious rest parlor at the rooms of J. and J. Williamson at the Colonial Mutual Buildings was filled to its Inst inch of accommodation on Thursday night, the occasion being a lecture by Mr J. A. Scott, president of the New Zealand Chiropractors’ Association.

Mr Scott took as the subject of his lecture ‘Why I Believe in Chiropractic,’ and lie drew weighty and cogent reasons from tiie fact that chiropractic is based on absolutely -sound scientific principles; from his own personal experience as a patient (having been completely cured of nasal catarrh); from his own persona! experience as a practitioner: from his own personal knowledge or the results obtained by other practitioners—and very notably by J. and J. Williamson; and from tho fact that reliable records in other countries show that wherever it is fairly tried tiie chiropractic theory works out true. Reference was made to tho groat freo public clinic held daily at the Palmer School of Chiropractic, Davenport, at which over 2,000 patients were adjusted every day; and many telling instances of the successful application of chiropractic—both to common and to uncommon troubles—were related. Frequent humorous touches, added to an easy and fluent delivery, enabled the speaker to hold the unflagging interest and attention of tho audience to the close. At tho conclusion of tho lecture, which lasted a little over an hour, a hearty vote of thanks and appreciation was accorded to Mr Scott by acclamation. In the course of his remarks tho lecturer referred in detail to the fine record of successful results obtained by J. and J. Williamson during their seven years’ practice in this city, and paid a tribute to the firm’s high standing in the chiropractic ranks alike in respect, to personal character and to professional knowledge and skill. After the forma! lecture an invitation for questions elicited a hearty response, and the wide range covered bv the inquiries showed how keenly and deeply the interest of tho gathering lia/1 been aroused.—[By arrangement.]
