Many persons are naturally sceptical
about the claims Of travelling physi-
clans. They wonder why they do not
have practice enough to keep them
busy at home if they are as skilled as
they claim to be. In the case of DR..
McElWee, who visits Grand Rapids at
the Witter House every month, this
reasoning hardly applies since the
doctor only visits seven towns away
! from home, so that three weeks out Of
four are given to his home patients.
Long ago the doctor has demonstrated
his skill by his success and persons
who can not go to the city, certainly
find livery convenient to consult right
at home physician who ranks far
above the average run Of specialists.
