[ would say to the laity to as
sist in every way you can to get
your family physician to attend
his Medical Society or require of
him the reason why. If it is for
any of the foregoing reasons he
don't attend you can help him
greatly. If you are sick and
want medicine go the day be-
fore and tell him to fix you up
medicine or go and see you the
day before so he can attend his
Society. If he has no horse or
buggy furnish him one or help
him to get one. If the doctor or
any of his family is sick go af-
ter doctor for him and get him
able to attend his Medical Socie-
ty. If he is afraid to leave his
wife and children that long get
some one to stay with them for
him. If it is just stubborness
that he wont attend | would ad-
wise you to drop him and get an
up-to-date doctor who attends
his Medical Society. By doing
so you will be great aid in the
advancement of medical knowl-
edge.

Russell Springs Medical Society.

The 10Th Annual Session of the
Russell Springs District Medical
Society will be held at Russell
Springs, KY, August 18th. An
elaborate program is offered and
every physician and the laity
should avail themselves of the
opportunity of being present
while the program is being rem
dered. Such meetings are in
valuable to both physicians and
laity. There will be several es-
says on how to keep from being
sick, which everybody should be
interested, and there will of
course, be several essays on
what to do after you get sick
The essays will be discussed at
length so that every point in
the prevention and cure of dis
eases will be brought out. The
first thing for the laity to do be-
fore and after getting sick, is to
be sure to select as his family
physician one who is an active
member of the County, District
and State Medical Society, for
the doctor who refuses or fails
to attend his Medical Society
when possible, fails to do his duty
to himself and those who he pro-
poses to treat, for a doctor can
not keep up with the times who
humps up" and refuses to meet
with his brother physicians and
swap ideas for the benefit of suf-
fering humanity. One doctor
will say that he was sick, anoth-
er will say that his wife or his
baby was sick, no worse than
they have been for months, an
other will say his buggy was
broken, another will say that his
horse was tired to death nearly,
and still there are other doctors
who are so busy and have such
extensive practice that they can't
attend. l, having been an Of
ficer of Medical Societies for
nearly 20 years, have heard all
these excuses and at first thought
that they were true and was sor-
ry for those who had such bad
luck to keep them away from
their Society, but finely found
