| There is a growing tendency among the
! medical profession to use automobiles pro-
| fessionally. 1t is said that in Philadelphia
more than 400 of the NJ. DIS. make their
| calls I'm the horseless conveyances and al
most to a man are enthusiastic in their
praise Of the vehicle as a means of loco
motion. This condition of affairs i'm the
Quaker City must not be brushed aside as
being without significance. for while Phil
adelphia has many a time and oft been
referred to as a slow town, yet 1t can
not be gansaid that they do things in a
careful way in that staid old municipality.
And automobile men throughout the
country setting Philadelphia up
as example in this matter. Not
only are the doctors using automo-
biles themselves for pleasure and business.
but are recommending them to patients
who are suffering from the effects of
sedentary lives. DR.. Stahl, a prominent
eastern physician, says: THE benefits to
be derived through. the auto by men and

be enumerated. The professional man and
his brother in business are given brain
and nerve tonic as well the ordinary
| physical benefit. Steadness of nerve
comes in abundance to those who handle
the machine often" The time may come
when a physician will call on his sedentary
patient, note the heart action, the palloI
of his cheek, the twitching nerves, the
rcstles eyes, take an X-ray glance at the
patients purse, and then write out d pre-
r scripton for one automobile. All o
which brings up the question, will auto
, mobiles ever become a drug on the mar
ket?"
