“Relax and quit Worrying,
it's just jour nerves." is not
very helpful advice to a ner
vous sick person. Such indi
viduals need help for they are
really sick and their sickness
DOES HAVE A CAUSE.
The problem is one of deep-
seated and constant nervous
tension caused by an irrita
tion of the nerve roots leading
from the spine. Though nothing
may seem wrong organically,
the proper X-rays and other
tests will reveal this eondition.
vi hen an especially trained chi
ropractor makes an examina
tion.
Only when the cause of this
irritation is removed ran a per
son relax and quit worrying.

Inti) then, the individual is
sick, mentally and physically.
Such illness will eventually
lead to real organic disturb
ances in most cases.
Nature is constantly making
an effort to relieve this pres
sure and sometimes through a
prolonged rest or change of cli
mate does accomplish it.
The most efficient and sat-
fartory way is to have a thor
ough examination by Dr. Hart,
vi ho has had wide experience
in correcting nervous disorders.
