"There is dne reason, and only one, why these athletes have achieved physical prowess. It Is because they have good backbones. When a boy or girl starts out on an athletic career he should have his spine adjusted and examined occasionally.

"Fielding and batting slumps invariably are due to displaced vertebrae. Nature often replaces the vertebrae while an athlete sleeps, provided he rests on a hard, even mattress, than which there is nothing more essential to good health. "Recently a famous Philadelphia baseball player suffered intensely from the worst form of 'hour glass stomach' I have ever seen. His muscular development was well-nigh perfect and outwardly he appeared to be' strong. Upon examination It was found he had three fnlsplaced vertebrae.

They were adjusted and In the late spring training he has been going better than for years. "Football players and baseball players receive so many Jolts that subluxations of the spine occur. If. after an athlete is roughly handled in a football game, or throws himself hard sliding to a base, he would have his spine exaniined the chances are a hundred to one he would prolong his athletic career and add years to his life."
