SpecialiSm is the idea of the day.
Not that every physician can be
specialist, nor would it be juStitiable
in every doctor becoming one, but
there are advantages which can be-
derived only by special practice
which is applicable to certain COM
munities even though the physician
himself is not bona fide resident of
that immediate vicinity. Small towns
and the country are the principal COM
munitieS in which a specialist could
scarcely prosper, but as practiced by
some specialists. That of going from
one city to another, making his visits
and seeing his patients at regular ap-
pointed intervals, one can derive ad-
vantages far superior to those one
would receive in many instances
where they visited the cities.
We cite, for instance, that of DR..
Doran, a specialist of Minneapolis,
Mimi, who is and has been making
regular visits to our community for
the last three years. DR.. Doran came
well recommended and has succeeded
in establishing practice far beyond
his expectation. He has made many
cures and has succeeded in building
up reputation and practice among
those whom he has cured that would
be hard to get away from him. DR..
Doran is gentleman from the new
school. His experience and training
has been that of many years practice
and vast experience. He confines
himself to the treatment of chronic,
lingering and deep-seated ailments.
He pretendS to cure only such dis
eases as he has had sufficient expert
ence with in handling, and does not
go into that class of incurable dis
eases which in many instances are
useless to bother with.
AS result of long experience, DR..
DOran is thoroughly familiar with his
SpecialtieS. In the treatment of
cancer, consumption, heart disease,
nervousness and female diseases, there
are very few specialists better quail
fed to treat them than DR.. Doran.
Some OF his cures seem almost like
miracles. People from far and near
consult him as he makes these regular
visits and he is always busy from the
time he arrives until his time of
departure. 1t is claimed by DIR.
Doran'S friends that he can diagnose
a disease without question. This
being the case he is not liable to
doctor his patient for the wrong all
ment, which is many times done by
physicians of ineXperience. DIR. Doran
does not treat typhoid fever, whoop-
ing cough, measles, and those acute
diseases for which the local home
physician is called upon to treat. 1t
is not his desire to antagonize nor
to take from the home physician that
part of the business which really
belongs to him. Many times DR..
doran is called in consultation with
the home physician and the kindest
OF feelings should exist between
them.
DR.. Doran is charitable. In many
instances where people are devoid of
funds to pay for their services he
charges for the medicine only and no
person, no matter how humble, has
he ever turned away without seeking
to give them relief.
BY permission we are pleased to
publish few of some of the cures he
mas made throughout the state of
Minnesota and the DakotaS. These
are only few, as time and space will
not permit us to publish more.
