There is naturally no such thing as an
incurable disease. Disease becomes
incurable by neglect and improper
treatment. Improper treatment may
damage the system as well as cause
! loss of time and is therefore as dan
gerous as neglect. Improper treat
ment is due rather to inexperience
than to inability or ignorance. Ii
your disease is chronic and puzzles
the family physician you need the ex-
perience of Specialist. Many cases
pronounced incurable by the general
practitioner can be cured by the Spec
ialist. ! quote few cases below to
prove these assertions.
