MR. LESTER SEYMOUR
Mill St., Laurens
Veteran Obtains Relief
From Spinal Arthritis
“I advise anyone suffering backache or arthritis to
consult Dr. Hart,” says Mr. Lester Seymour, 209 Mill
Street, Laurens, S. C.
“While in the Veterans Hospital, doctors took a lot
of X-Ray pictures of my hack and said I had Spinal Arth
ritis. 1 was having lots of f
pain in my back and hips, f MM
especially upon arising
from a sitting position.
My back was so stiff at
times that I could hardly
go.
“My condition gradual
ly grew worse and I had
to be off work so much I
wondered how I managed
to hold my job. I was rest
less at night and nervous.
Elimination was poor and
it was necessary to take
laxatives often.
“I consulted Dr. C. J.
Hart, of Laurens, S. C.,
who advised me that he
could improve my condi
tion. He said he located
the cause of my trouble
with an instrument he
called a Neurocalograph and with X-Ray pictures.
“I began to notice improvement shortly after being
under Dr. Hart’s care. The pains in my lower back be
came less and less, finally going away. The stiffness left
me and I have no difficulty getting up and down. I have
been able to sleep better and my nervousness improved.
I find it no longer necessary to take laxatives.
“During the past two years I have worked nearly
every day with very little trouble. At the least sign of
any trouble I return to Dr. Hart for a checkup. As a re
sult, I have enjoyed the very best of health during these
years. I advise anyone suffering backache or arthritis to
consult Dr. Hart.”
