The Savannah morning news. (Savannah, Ga.) 1900-current, 1904-10-09

fifty or more doctors since / placed my
first advertisement in the columns of
the News. They herald themselves
volubly for a few weeks. make all
sorts OF promises in their advertise
ments that they know they cannot
keep, are caught In their misrepresen-
tations patients become fewer and
fewer until they are forced to close up.
That has been the history of scores
upon scores OF them since / first came
here. During all this time / noticed
no loss of patients, but, on the con-
trary, my practice increased until to-
day, can safely say. 1t is tho largest
in this line In America. am inclined
to think, therefore, that my methods
must be right and theirs. unquestion-
ably wrong.
while we should ell do as much
good to our fellowmen as we possibly
can, even to personal denial, yet from
the highest to the lowest we all work
for sustenance and profit. The mer-
chant sells what he buys, the mechan-
ic his skill, the professional man his
knowledge, and each tries TO get as
much as possible for what he knows
or has. He endeavors to have better
facilities or greater knowledge, than
his competitor. so that his influence
may widen. BY giving one person sat
isfaction, whether In the sale of an ar
ticle or In the cure OF a disease, he
will get dozen others to try him.
"The profession of medicine is care
fully conducted to-day and each doc
tor tries to widen his knowledge as
well as his circle of patients. When
you consider that there are over 100000
doctors licensed by state boards In this
country, you will appreciate what IL
means TO be successful as a physician
or specialist, and you will realize all
the more what IL means to have the
largest practice in a speciality in these
United States.
ITO what do / attribute my success?
To many things. but principally to the
fact that / had the essentials OF sue
cess knowledge, experience, integrity.
humanity, capital. All these are nee
essary in a practice such as mine,
which is wide as this great country,
for believe there is no section from
which / have not received either per-
sonal callers or correspondence. /
have cured patients everywhere.
IT try to give my patients all the
benefits that medical science affords.
give them the benefit OF my twenty
five years medical experience in this
country as well as abroad, in hospitals
as well as In private. / make II n
point to equip my Offices with all the
newest medical devices that are of gen.
uine worth In the cure OF disease; and
70 you will find here various appara-
fuses that are possessed by few other
doctors. associate myself with learn
ed and experienced physicians, who
make speciality of a certain group of
diseases. Their treatment OF patients
Is, OF course, under my direction. I

with thorough service, and / endeavor
to see not how long ! can keep a per-
son under treatment, but how quickly
can cure him.
word in my advertisements can be sup
ported by the facts. / would never
permit misrepresentation or wording
that misleads by exaggeration or direct
or implied falsehood. cleave 10 the
truth and that Is why am still practice
ing I'm Savannah when so many 9TH
ere have had TO close their doors. The
people OF this city do not want NO
cure no pay doctors, and neither DO
they want companies or institutes that
advertise free samples or prescriptions,
Not n dollar need be paid until cured
electric BELTS and other methods and
devices that are unprofessional, un-
scientific and impossible TO carry out
honestly.
What the public wants. according to
my observation and experience. is hon
eSt treatment AZ an honest price. They
are willing enough 70 pay, but they
want the best. and that - what ] try
TO give them. / pay the highest prices
for pure medicines. have an active
laboratory OF my own IN which most
OF my treatments are compounded. Ny
charge for treatment includes the nee
essary medicine. and that relieves my
patients OF a great cost.
