No one should be prejudiced against
the specialist who. from long experience
in treating some particular disease, IS
better qualified to handle the case than
the physician who meets but few such
cases in his general practice.
But yet there are hundreds OF people
who are suffering from some chronic all

do this is often brought about from the
fact that the patient does not wish TO
iniure the feelings OF the family doctor
by going elsew here for treatment; aud so
,hey linger along IN hts hands getting

Sometimes, however, the sufferer gets
desperate aud resolves TO try someone
else. even without the knowledge and
consent of the old doctor.
A case IN point: Mrs B. had been very

of har family physician. Her disease was

gradually growing weaker from dsy to
