...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.

Meanwhile the weather was playing a different set of tricks over Labrador. There a high pressure area created an atmospheric trough down which whistled a dry northeast storm right across the path of the oncoming hurricane. The northeaster smote hardest along the New Jersey shore on a Sunday. Holiday fishermen had their craft capsized by the onslaught of wind and wave, were dragged to safety by alert, courageous Coast Guardsmen. Eight lives were lost, among them some of the oldest and ablest fishing skippers along the coast. Week-end trippers at Atlantic City were banged and buffeted. At Lewes...
