Omce--The Complete

With the advent of the microbe into
the world and the wonderful increase in
new diseases In the past few years there
has been a loud call for help from the
suffering and stricken people. Doctors
as a result have been doing quite well
and cornering the elusive dollars with
more or less rapidity. There has also
been quite an increase in the number
of men and women in the profession
in Stark county in the last few years.
Very few of the doctors who practiced
in the sixties are still at it now in this
county but there are lot of beardless
young men that have come in lately
who are making a good effort to heal
the sick and get rich at it.
Under the new law every man who
wants to practice medicine must have
passed through medical college and
been awarded diploma and this must
have been accepted by the state board
and then registered in the probate
court. An exception is made in the
case Of old practitioners who had prac-
ticed 25 years before the law was pas
sed. All they had to do was to convince
the state board that they had so prac-
aiNcu anu Nhty "tlt SlNtl "
This also must be registered with the
probate court.
The records in Stark county show
that there are 2O2 authorized doctors in
the county. OF these 100 are college
graduates having regular diplomas.
Twelve were admitted to practice un-
der the new law because they had been
practicing for 25 years or more be-
fore the law went into effect.
Seventy-four doctors are registered to
practice in Canton, 2S for Massillon, 81
for Alliance and the balance are dis
tributed over the county. Hardly a
town in the whole county is without
a doctor
There are nine women doctors regis
tered for the county. Massillon has
one, Alliance one, Marlboro one, and
Canton six.
Most of the Stark county healers are
a home product, that is they are gradu-
ates of Ohio colleges. Outside of Ohio
schools, Philadelphia comes second and
has as many graduates here as any
town in the country outside of Cleve-
land.
The colleges in the different towns
represented have the following numbers
of physicians registered:
Cleveland, So; Philadelphia, 20; St.
Louis 8; Montreal, 3; Columbus, 29
