Mgra 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 back and said I had Spinal Arth ritis. I was having lots of pain in my back and hips, 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 1 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.” jb>i. GltabUl fj. eMani 254 WEST MAIN ST. — LAURENS, S. C.
