PERSEcUTED. PROSECUTED AND con.
VlCTED WITHOUT A TRIAL

Many man has suffered the penalties
OF crimes never perpetrated, and when
we consider the sad fate they may have
gone through we should be very careful
in condemning any one before we have
given him fair trial. I am convinced
that one class of professional men are
prosecuted, slandered and convicted
when they should not be; these are the
enterprisng, ambitious physicians who
advertise.
write this after being Informed from
reliable sources, of the persecution of the
English and German Expert SPECIALISTS
They came to this coast not more than
two years ago, although their reputa-
tion had reached here in advance of
them. They started in small quarters of
three rooms In the Byrne building, which
they have now increased to ten.
| am Informed that there is such a
thing as medical ethics which prohibits
professional man from advertising
These able experts not belonging to this
association, are under no obligations
not to advertise, and they have for the
last two years instructed the public and
published testimonials from hundreds
of grateful patients. The general prac-
titioners hate these able doctors worse
than they de snake. partially. no
doubt, for the reason that they have to-
day the largest practice in Southern
California, while many of the poor eth
ical men are starving to death. But this
should not induce some of them to re-
sort to such underharBd means as they
have done to undermine their success.
l have proof that one of the medical
associations here tried to expel MEM
Der for assisting the English and Ger
man Expert Specialists in performing
their many operations.
Some of the physicians occupying Of
fees in this same building went so far as
to threaten the landlord that If he rented
to the English and German Expert Spe-
cialists they would, in body, leave the
building. Many of these ethical doctors
have gone personally to the patients of
the English and German Expert Special
lists and tried to induce them to leave
them and employ ethical men, SANDER
ing their ability. The public not know
ing that these doctors are prejudiced be-
cause they cannot compete with them in
ability nor in equipments for the Eng
lish and German Expert Specialists to-
day have more money invested in mi
croscopes, electrical appliances, *
rays" etc, than any other firm on the
coast. But the public. so often preju
diced by these ethical doctors, should not
convict nor be prejudiced against these
specialists until they see for themselves.
1t will cost them nothing to consult with
them and see whether they are sur
rounded by advantages which others
have not. Therefore I, as third party,
would advise those especially who are
afflicted to talk with these able experts
before they denounce them, so as 10
judge for themselves whether or not
it is to their advantage to employ them.
I, myself, was not partial toward them,
and tried several other physicians of the
city who in severe terms denounced
these able doctors as quacks; but every
one failed in giving me, in return for the
money paid them. any relief, until con-
suited with the English and German Ex
pert Specialists. and, although they did
not promise me positive cure, they sue
ceeded in three months treamtent in
giving me what had sought for so long
in vain.
