Re- i markable results have been' achieved! from chiropractic . adjustments in all parts of'tjie' world, and particularly in the United States of America, where its popularity is -being justified by the number of peopje who are deriving bfinefifc Where other recognised methods of euro have failed. It is significant that more than pne-hajf^of the States have now provided protective legislation, and that the number of people who are retying solely upon chiropractic adjustments for benefiting their liealth is increasing rapidly. Xhe growth of chiropractic in Calitprjiia is one proof of the efficacy of tflis jnodern method of combating ' disease. {n .November, 1919, a Bill for the recognition of ( chiropractic was voted upon by the people of that State and was. defeated by aOout 60.000 votes. Three years later U>e game Bill <vas again voted upon, and ifc-w.3S approved on that occp.sipn by a' majority of over 100,000 votes, thus proving that in the short space of three yeurs over 160,0^0 people had been convinced that chiropractic w*s a most efficient method of'ridding humanity of its'ill;. The Palmer School of Chiropractic is the largest institution pf its kind in the world, and its growth from * mere handful of students.L-. 1909't0 3300 last year is a clear pro;-* that chiropractic is forging ahead by sheer force of merit, and that it is gaining the'confidence of thousands of people. . Mr. Henry Ofcterholt, ■ Wellington's pioneer chiropractor, of the firm of Messrs. Qfcterholt, liryce, and, AVratt, Chiropractors, 101, Willis street, recently'returned to Wellington after a. , world touv extending over ■ twelve months. In the course of his travels he visited many chiropractors in different parts of the World, and he was much impressed with the progress being made in the profession on all /sides. While in Davenport, lowa, U.S.A., he attended a, review course at the-Palmer School —the Chiropractic Fountainhead —and in Chicago he also "took'a-'special X-ray course with tho Victor X^ray Corporation, the largest and most up-to-date X-ray manufacturers in the world. This' course, together with the experience gained bythe use of X-rays in connection with his business,' has convinced Mr. Otterholt more than ever that X-rays are a positive necessity to a chiropractor in order thaji correct and exact work may be' done. The experience gained by Mr. Otterholfc'in his recent tour has given the firm of Otterholt, Brycc, and Wratt the advantage of tho very latest chiropractic and X-ray knowledge, which they are now using in (heir pracilce,—Published by arrangement.
