The PRACTICE OF MEDICINE
BECOMING SPECIALIZED
The Physicians Of the Large Cities the
First to Adopt 1t and There Are
Now Many Throughout
the Country.

Speelallsm is the idea of the day Not
that every physician can be specialist,
nor would it be justifable in every doc
tor becoming one, but there are aAAan-
tages which can be derived only by a
special practice which is applicable to
certain communities even though the
physician himself is not bona fide resi-
dent of that immediate vicinity. Small
towns and the country are the principal
communities in which 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 appointed
intervals, one can derive advantages far
superior to those one would receive in
many instances where they visited the
cities.
We cite, for instance, that of DIR. Do
ran, specialist of Minneapolis, Mimi,
who is and has been making regular
visits to our community for the last two
years. Doran came well recommended
and has succeeded in establishing a
practice far beyond his expectation He
has made many cures and has succeeded
III building up reputation and practice
among those whom he has cured that
would be hard to get away from him.
DR.. Doran is a 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 diseases as he has had
sufficient experience with in handling,
and does not 90 into that class of incur
able diseases which in many instances
are useless to bother with.
As a result of long experience, DIR.
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 qualified 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 DR.. Do
rams friends that he can diagnose di-
sease without a question. This being
the case, he is not liable to doctor his pa
tent for the wrong ailment, which is
many thimes done by physicians of in
experience. DR.. Doran does not treat ty-
phoid fever, whooping 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 feeling should exist
between them.
DR.. Doran is charitable. In many in
stances where people are devoid of funds
to pay for their service he charges in
such cases for the medicine only and no
person, no matter how humble, has he
ever turned away without seeking to
give relief.
By permission we are pleased to publish
q few of some of the cures he has made
throughout the state of Minnesota and
the Dakotas. These are only few,
as time and space will not permit us to
publish more.
