| would like to impress upon the mind
of everyone the importance OF employ
ing a regular family physician, that
is, Of having a doctor who underst0 nds
your constitution, who knows sofre-
thing about your ancestors, who has
known what sicknesses you have pdss-
ed through and what your habits of
life have been. A doctor who has all
this information can treat you much
more intelligently and successfully tldu
can an entire stranger. Another point
on which people in general are not SAT-
hciently instructed is the importance
of consultations of physicians IN 5eri-
Gus cases. Some people are inclined
to criticise their doctor when he asks
for a consultation. 1t should be re-
membered that symptoms of the differ
ent diseases are not always sufficient
ly marked until medicine develops the
true condition. When a physician finds
that his treatment is not benehting the
patient it is but just to allow HIM 10

Oftentimes a phy sician who has not
had the anxiety OF the case can suggest
a remedy which, with the medicines
being used, will promote the recovery
of the patient.
There are thousands of people whose
only capital is their health and bod .ly

plenty of reserve force, that the
strength should not all be used. up by

Now is the time when people will t2ke
large quantities of cold drinks. Thefe
is a great variety of these drinks, ana
suppose there are just as many difter-
ent tastes. But don't believe there Is
anything better than cold water TO
quench natural thirst, and l advise
taking a large quantity every day. IL
is undoubtedly true that kidney trout
