CHIROPRACTIC

Health is yours if the cause of your trouble be removed. If you suffer with any of the following complaints —headache, throat and lung aifectious, indigestion, appendicitis, stomach, liriney, liver and intestinal troubles, insomnia, rheumatism, neuralgia, lumbago and sciatica, or any other nervous or chronic complaint—look to your spine; it is the, switchboard of your body. Any displacement of the vertebrae of ihe spine causes impingement of the nerves passing out therefrom; thus the different parts of the body are deprived of their normal nerve supply, and in this way they become weakened and susceptible to disease. The logical thing to do is to consult a Chiropractor and have your sp'ine examined. Chiropractic, the science that accounts for. locates and corrects the cause of disease by spinal adjustment. Try it and be convinced. EDWIN W. KING, Chiropractor, 2rd floor, Pareora Buildings, Stafford St., Timaru. Consultation free. Hoars: 9.30 a.m. to J. 2.30 p.m., 1.30 p.m. to 5.30 p.m. Also 7to 8 p.m. on Monday, Wednesday and Friday evenings. Telephone 919.

A distinguished lawyer asserts that the most powerful brief he ever used for the prosecution of colds, coughs, and lung complaints was Baxter's Lung Presenter.. And now that we are in the throes of winter, with chills and other ills constantly threatening ■ us, 'tis surely a wise .step to keep a bottle always handy. "Baxter's" is a rich, soothing mixture, pleasant to the taste; always efficacious for bronchial and lung complaints. Also valuable for toning up the system. Invest in a large bottle of this sterling remedy to-day—2s 6d at all chemists'.
