I haven’t posted an advertisement in a while, so I decided to do one now!
I found this advertisement for Dr. VH Lake in the Sunday, October 1, 1939 issue of The Atlanta Journal. I never heard of going to a chiropractor for hay fever before!
Dr. Virgil Henry Lake was born December 26, 1896 in Illinois to parents William Daniel Lake and Mary Elizabeth Parks. He married Marie Rose Woody and had at least three children: Lily, Grady and Palmer. In 1920 the family was still living in Illinois, though by 1930 they were living in Dublin, Laurens County, Georgia and then in Atlanta by 1935 (according to the 1940 census) in the Noble Park area of (technically, I suppose) DeKalb County. Dr. Lake passed away on November 5, 1947 in Atlanta. His office in the advertisement below is now part of the Druid Hills Presbyterian Church (either the child development center or the parking lot).
Chiropractic for Hay Fever
WHY SUFFER LONGER?
hay fever is also known as “rose cold,” hay asthma” and “autumnal catarrh.” Hay fever in its most pronounced form generally makes its appearance in late summer. Why let this disorder sap your energy when a chiropractic adjustment wills tart you on the road to relief?
