WE GO FORWARD.
The Up-to-Date Equipment of a
Physicians Office.

Physicians Office.
Some weeks ago the ARGUS chron-
icled the coming to Goldsboro Of DR..
H. o. Hyatt, the noted specialist,
who has fitted up an Office suite, up
tairs at the corner of West Center
and Chestnut streets, and which we
had the novel and interesting and
instructive experience of reviewing
yesterday, and we are free to admit
that the equipment was a revelation
to us at every turn.
Visitors are received upon enter
ing by a comely and polite colored
woman, whose duty, we were in
formed, is to keep the place clean,
ook after the instruments aud APP
)liance5 and wait On the patients
while receiving treatment. She re-
mains in the ofiice all the time dur
ing the day. The woman is fairly
| veil educated, said the Doctor, and
las had special training in massage,
md IS we'll adapted to the duties of
tue position she occupies.
When DR.. Hyatt moved from
Kinston to our progressive city he
brought his entire Sanitarium outfit
With him and since he has been
mere he has Installed q complete and
up-to-date electrical plant. Messr5.
Dewey Bros., who run a day current
in summer to enable the various
drug st res aud others in town to
run fans, have very generously and
with commendaDle public spirit
agreed to furnish, current to the
| Doctor for a nominal rental during
the entire year. Tne Doctor says
that one among the reasons why he
left Kinston was his inability to get
day current to run his appa-
ratus. We are glad that our pro-
gressive town could till his require
ments. In addition to the electrical
and x ray outfit there is a, to US,
very curious appliance Which we
were told is used 10 shake or vibrate
the tissues of the body. This machine
accomplishes the same good effect as
IS secured by massage and osteopathy.
A few years agoDr. Maurice Pilgrim,
of New York, seeing the great good
accomplished by massage and os-
teopathy, investigated tue sabject il
a critically scientific The
result of his lab0urs is embodied in 6
book which he wrote just before be
died. In Casually g~lancing through
this book we We're astonished at tht
number Of diseases that Z be cured
or benefited by mechanical vibra-
ton. A very fine illustration in th'
book shows that most all the organ
:, Of the body are controlled by nerve
that go from the spinal cord.
= While with DR.. Hyatt, by-the-way
we noticed a very fac crayon of
magnificent head hanging over DR.
Robinson's desk, (he and DR.. Hyatt
q
have an office together,) and upol
enquiring we learned that it was
picture of DIR. Augustus Washing
ton, a native of Kinston, n. c., an
the inventor OF the hypodermi
Syringe. This little appliance ha;
without controversy, been the mean
of easing q greater amount Of pal
= than all the inventions Of man pu
together. DIR. Washington is anothe
example of a prophets having homo
save ia his own country. This gran
, nan was while in Paris the friend
Louis XIV AMI was there durin
the great French Revelation. Afie
:, returning to America and settlin
in New York nearly every ocea
steamer brought him patients fro,
Europe.

- unite and build a great Sanatoriul
and Hospital for the convenience

Let US go forward. Let us get t
