SpeciaIism is the idea of the day. Not
that every physician can be specialist,
nor would it be justifiable in every doctor
becoming one, but there are advantages
which can be derived only by a special
practice.
The physician that treats both chronic
and acute diseases, making no special
study of one kind of ailments more than
another, cannot be as successful as the
doctor wlro makes specially Of cert
ain line of diseases and devotes his
whole time and attention to the study
and practice OF that speciality. The prac.
tice OF medicine general practice; is too
broad field Tor one to become profile
lent. Medical science has advanced
wonderfully i'll the past fifteen years. as
you all know. which is largely due to
centralizing its study. The specialists
are the physicians that we must give the
credit largely fof .i.htening the medi-
cal world.
We cite. tor instance, that of DR.. Rea,
a specialist of Louisville, KY, who now
has one of mis- Offices in Minneapolis and
has had for the last four years where 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.. Rea 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 diseases as he had suffic-
lent experience with IN handling, and
does not go into that class OF incurable
diseases which IN many instances are
useless to bother with.
AS result of long experience, DR..
Rea is thoroughly familiar with his spec
ialties. In the treatment OF cancer, con-
sumption. heart disease, nervousness,
and female diseases there are very few
specialists better qualified to treat them
than DR.. Rea. 1t is claimed BY DR.. Rea's
friends that he can diagnose disease
without question. This being the case,
he is not liable to doctor his patient for
the wong ailment, which is many times
done by physicians of inexperlence. DIR.
Rea does not treat typhoid fever, whoop.
ing cough, measles and those acute dl.
seases Tor which the local home physic-
ian is called upon to treat. 1t is not his
desire to antagonze nor to take from the
hume physician that part of the business
which really belongs to him. Many tines
DIR. Rea is called in consultation with the
home physician and the kindest of ieel
ings should exist between them.
DIR. Rea is charitable. In many instan
ces Where people are devoid OF funds tc
pay for their services he charges IN suct
cases for the medicine only and no per
son, no matter how humble, has he evel
turned away without seeking to Civ.
them relief.
