...believe the Minneapolis osteopath massaged a nerve center in the small of Mr. Murphy's back to correct his stooped condition. I believe the osteopath manipulated the area of the spine in question to restore its unimpaired mobility and adjusted the spinal joints to their normal anatomical relationship. If massage was used it was as an adjunct as it might be used by a member of any other school of practice. Stimulating or "massaging" the nerve trunk near its exit from the spinal canal would affect organs associated with that nerve trunk through communicating branches but would not particularly...
Hirtenberg. Last February the Great Powers realized for the first time what steel is in the spine of this little fellow who looks like a cross between Actor Ernest Truex and a French bull pup. Italy, busily weaving Austria and Hungary into his chain of military alliances against France and the Little Entente, had sent some 50,000 rifles and 200 machine guns to be "repaired" at the factory in Hirtenberg near Vienna where they were made (see map p. 15).

Rod & reel fishermen taught the commercial men to call the monster by his right name, tuna. "With their sporting...

Straightened Murphy Sirs: "Publisher Murphy . . . straightened his spine by special exercises at the age of 48." (TIME, Sept. 4, p. 14.) No more stooped than 90 % of TIME readers. I have for years sought an exercise that would result in an erect carriage. Arrived at the ripe old age of 40, had thought it now too late to attempt it further. TIME's remark gives encouragement. Possibly just one of Wheat...
...Minneapolis Tribune, whose "Minnesota Plan" has saved Minnesota farmers from themselves by teaching them the advantages of diversifying crops. President Roosevelt holds him in high 'regard for another, more intimate reason. Publisher Murphy, too, has overcome a great physical handicap. For 20 years he was humpbacked, straightened his spine by special exercises...
