of the last decimal count.
There has been a heavy migration
to the North in recent years by Ne
groes, and many white people have
also gone. No doubt this is a factor
in the estimated figures. In the rural
sections in all parts of the state there
has been a heavy shift to the cities
and towns, especially to manufactur
ing centers, though this will not af
fect the final figures. This condition
is not likely to change soon, with
labor conditions on the farm such as
they now aie.

Many of the mo$t successful busi

operated largely on a credit basis,
both wholesale and retail. Firms en

must know who is entitled to credit
and to what extent, and encourage
self restraint rather than over-buy

Opens Scientific
Chiropractic Offices
'I'M •• ■ * -
Qr. C. J. Hart, Chiropractor, announces the opening of offices in Lau
rens, on the south side of the Square, directly above the Dixie-Home
Stores. - —•
Dr. Hart is a graduate of the Palmer School of Chiropractic, Daven
port, Iowa, where he studied Anatomy and other subjects pertaining to
the body and its function in health and sickness, and X-Ray technic as
well as the Science and Art of Chiropractic. Thousands of patients use
the free Student Out Patient Clinic and affords every senior student
ample opportunity to practice his profession on a wide variety of com
plaints.
The C. J. Hart Chiropractic offices will use the latest scientific instru
ments for a complete Chiropractic Analysis and the Palmer Method of ^ ,
corrective spinal adjustment. You may consult Dr. C. J. Hart, Chiroprac
tor, with full confidence and assurance that he is well trained in his pro
fession. 1
The case histories you will find herein are actual cases and serve as -.
examples of the scope of Scientific Chiropractic. ( •
ARTHRITIS CASE: Ethel Stanton began to notice pains and swelling
in her limbs and joints, which was later diagnosed as arthritis. She suf
fered for six months, receiving very little relief from the pain and swell
ing. On April 16, 1946, she decided to consult a Scientific Chiropractor,
who X-Rayed her spine and found the cause of her trouble. A vertebra
out of its normal position, creating pressure Upon the spinal cord, was
the cause of her ill health. After a few adjustments, the swelling sub
sided and the terrible pain in her fingers eased up. “After a few months
of Scientific Chiropractic Health Service, my arthritis was entirely gone/'
says Mrs. Stanton. ’
PARALYSIS CASE: “I was paralyzed from hips down, and .my kid
neys and bowels became paralyzed also. My Doctor called and told me
the best he could do would be to put me in a cast for five months, or,
operate on my spine, and yet he could not guarantee the success of the *
operation. A friend'pf oprs shggested a Chiropractor, and before submit
ting to such a serious and dangerous operation, I was willing to try any
thing. X-Rays of my spine were taken and the, cause of my trouble locat
ed. After one month of Chiropractic Health Service, I am now restored
to health, tk> my housework, can swim and dance," says Mrs. Beata
Senecal. • •
A&THMA AND SINUS TROUBLE: Elizabeth Hayden suffered ^rom .•
asthma and sinus trouble for six years. She was allergic to almost every
food and therefore lost weight. Thousands of dollars was spent in a search
for health, but only temporary relief was attained. It was then that she
noticed an ad in paper stating what Chiropractic could do for asthma.
After a Neurocalometer spinal analysis and X-Ray examination, the
cause of her trouble.was located. After the first adjustment she was
considerably relieved of asthma attacks and could lie down and sleep at
night. After each adjustment she felt better and within five weeks she
was completely well. S .
(Detailed information, including addresses and photographs of
the above cases may be seen in the offices of Dr. Hart).
The C. J. Hart Chiropractic Offices are equipped with Neurocalometer
and X-Ray for precision and accuracy and use the latest methods of
spinal correction. The efficiency and results of this modern science, .when
properly employed, will amaze you. If your conddition has resisted your
efforts to cure it» consult Dr. Hart at your earliest convenience.
