Guessing the Disease

How often do we hear of person who has
complained for some time, who has called up
on several different doctors, each of whom
perhaps gave different name to the disease.
and gave medicines recommended TO relieve
the particular disease named (but which, in
fact, was not the real trouble, for the disease
has had several names, one for each doctor
consulted) with assurance of relief and each
in turn failed to cure the real disease and the
unfortunate victim of guessing the disease,
continues to suffer and comes TO believe his
case incurable because doctors have made bad
guesses about his condition, treated the wro1g
disease, and therefore failed TO cure. Does
not such circumstance prove that the wrong
disease has been treated?
Sometimes Ii happens that person suffers
for months, or even years. with some trouble,
continually taking med icines first one thing,
then another, in an Ill advised effort to OBJ
tain relief by guessing at the remedy az well
az the disease. Too often pin y scians prescribe
in like manner, trying first one drug, then
another until they have tried all with which
they are familiar, but the patient does not get
well; perhaps he feels better at times, but his
old trouble returns, and he continues to suffer
and drag out life devoid of many of the
pleasures which make life really worth liv-

failure TO obtain relief from chronic or long

means of obtaining cure and to this end the
first thing to do is to discover exactly what
