ROentgen says OF tne Great
Scientist.
Yesterday was doctors day again at
the Herald's X-ray free clinic and the
editorial and reporters rooms Of the
Herald were crowded even more than
last Friday with doctors and patients.
A noticeable feature in this case was the
profoundly serious nature of almost
every case produced. 1t seemsd at times
as If DR.. Yoakum was subjected to only
cases that were extraordinarily difficult
to diagnose and the smell of iodoform
filled the block. ThS time consumed ran
over through the hour reserved for min
listers and into the noon hour. A few
ministers witnessed some Of the opera
tions and others retired with only a
glimpse of the miracle working machine.
This was indeed regrettable, but minis
ters especially know that one can not
turn away the afflicted and suffering
even to entertain the men of God.
