A North Carolina Insurance Company That Keeps Yotir Money At Home. DR. ROBERT L. RAMSAUR, Chiropractor Dr. R. L. Ramsaur who is cartooned abov is a native of Cleveland county, the son of Thomas J. Ramsaur. He is a grand-aon of the late Major II. F. Schenck, pioneer cotton manufacturer of this section. He was born at Cleveland Mills, this county, and attended Piedmont High School. Later he went to Wake Forest College and Virginia Polytechnic Institute. After finishing vhis academic training, he took up his professional training at the Palmer School ot Chiropractic, the fountain head of Chiropractic, located at Davenport, Iowa, graduating from that institution in January 1918. He went before the state board of Chiropractors in May 1920 and was among the first to stand examination after the State Board of Examiners was formed. Dr. Ramsaur located in Shelby the following August, almost five years ago and is occupying the same office rooms he started in, located in the Judge J- L. Webb building and on the same floor and near the public library. He stands well in his profession and his practice has gradually grown. While chiropractic is a new* healing method to many, the real merit of it is almost unlimit ed. He is the pioneer in the profession in Shelby and is pleased to have selected such a rapidly growing town. Recently Dr. Ramsaur was married to a most popular Shelby lady, Mrs. Essie Dodd Kendall—that’s why he is pictured in the above cartoon as “Just Married.” Dr. Ramsaur is a member of the Masonic and Knights of Pythias lodges in good standing. To He ad' To Throat. Tb Upper Limbs ToHeart ndneip Ovaries Bowels To Appendix To Lower Limb© To Bladder lb Genitals CAN CHIRROPRACTIC CURE ME? This is the QUESTION asked by every one com int? to the Chiropractor? If so how long will it take? CHIROPRACTIC DOES NOT CURE, NATURE is the only HEALIN'* nower. and Chiropractic is the means by w’hieh NATURE’S forces are restored to weakened tissues, ano* HL'ALTH results. CHIROPRACTIC IS THE MEANS by which the cause is removed and NATURE does the heal ing. The rime it takes depends upon the nature of disordor and how long it has existed. Most physical disorders result from a part or j parts of the body failing to get its normal flow of impulses from the brain, and is unable to meet the demands of the body. This gives rise to symptoms of dis-ease. The shorter time such a condition ex ists, the less damage is done, and the less time it will take for nature to restore condition to normal health and activity. Chiropractic is a scientific method of locating and adjusting the cause of disease, without the use of drugs or medicine, by finding and adjusting, with the hands, one or more joints of the spine which are interfering with the normal flow of impulses be tween the brain and tissue cell.
