MIGRAINE HEADACHE 15,000,000 Americans suffer from. recurring headaches . . . the kind of headaches that strike hard and fast, again . . . and again sively that the migraine trouble develops when one or more of the bones of the neck are misaligned or forced out of normal position. Since the nerves and blood vessels pass through small openings and canals in between the neck bones, a misalignment produces a pinching-traction that stretches the herve ghd blood vessels leading to the héad. Once the precise point of impingement has been located it is usually a simple matter for the chiroprac- tor to release the impinged nerves and blood vessels, and the headaches are relieved. 72 MAIN STREET LUZERNE ANDY SARNAK of 635 Church St. Swoyersville, recently returned from New Orleans, La., where he attended the Veterans of Foreign Wars Conven- tion.
