CONSUMPTION
CURED

There are specialists, and there are spe
cialists There are those who make spe-
cialty of anything that comes along. and
those who make q speciality as far as they
are able of a certain general class OF dis
cases. not emitting or neglecting to take
other things in addition IL they get
chance, but those who make specially OF
one disease alone are not so common. DR..
Ballard of this city makes a speciality of
consumption His practice is limited to
this specially and he has become an ex-
pert whose equal cannot be found in this
city in the treatment of tuberculosis or. in
fact, of any other class of diseases.
Sir Morrell Mackenzie, NJ D.. the cele-
brated English specialist. who was called
upon as an expert to prolong the life Of
the late emperor of Germany-in which he
succeeded-has this to say, as a defender
of specialism. in brilliant contribution
| to one Of the leading London reviews:
"Specialism Is a deliberate concentra-
| ton of mans power on single object
| The opposition to specalism so frequently
manifested by the profession of medicine
| is usually born Of desire to revenge itself
| for its inhrmity by abuse Of the more sue
cessful.
"SIR MORRELL MACKENZIE. NJ. D."
The above clever bit of common sense
| the studied opinion of past master in the
practice of spec!alsm. should offer to the
victim of unskilled treatment food for
deepest reflection. 1t stands as the finger
| post at the crossroads that lead TO life or
DEATH a warning and a guide to the per-
| picked invalid.
| Pertinent to the above. the reader is re-
| minded that DR.. W. Harrison Ballard is
not only qualified physician of long
standing. but more than all else spe-
| cialist. and we'll known for his honorable
methods.
BY deliberate concentration" Of profess
sonal skill he has acquired such n prof.
cheney in the treatment of tuberculosis
| that "Ballard's success with consump-
ton" is becoming a household phrase.
Worry no more, even If your case has
baffied the old-school family doctor or
been partially patched up by climate or
by some physician. If you have weak
| lungs or If you have tuberculosis well
seated, call and see DIR. Ballard and have
| an examination and Investigate his cures
| and his methods. Scores of consumptives
have already been cured and restored to
usefulness and health. and you may be
among the number IL you will. Don't
sacrifice your last chance. Consultation
