MACON, Ga, Jan. 2U-AIthousH CITY
council of Macon has promised to make
an increase in the salaries of the po-
licemen and firemen the men themselves
are not banking on any immediate as

aldermen that salaries would be raised

that the income this year will be
enough"
1t was stated to the policemen that
the annual appropriations for this year
are already $1,000 in excess of the es-
timated revenues but some differ. Three
aldermen voted to grant the increase
even if the city had to contract debt

different medication from the disease
in its active stage
This in fact opens up one OF the most
important subjects N the whole field
Of the case and treatment OF diseased
conditions, especially in the larger do
main Of chronic diseases. This more
especially applies perhaps to nervous
affections, both organic and function
a., for il is on the nervous system that
poisonous products long continued in the
system produce their most serious re-
suits.
The products are not always the result
of syphilis, for all other diseases caused
by living organisms will bring about the
same condition. These conditions follow
Typhoid fever and other serious diseases,
and long-continued Malaria, as we'll as
LaGrippe, is especially provocative of
these conditions.
And by the way, how many cases Of
supposed Rheumatism, and vague pains.
aches and symptoms go drifting from one
Doctor to another. just treated for one
thing and then another, would be better
cared for Il the Doctor would give a lit
tie attention to the nervous system and
get at the origin of these pains and
aches instead of prescribing for condi-
lions that at best, can only give tenn
porary results.
But what field is opened up when we
1 come to consider the exceedingly large
class Of chronic troubles that go drifting
from one to another for treatment, al
ways hoping that something may be
found to give them the much wished for

| need such honest and conscientious at
tention, and / may add, such careful
methods as well as attention to the de-
tails OF treatment as cases OF specific
blood poison or syphilis. The impor-
tant thing to the patient in these cases
always is: can / be cured, and can L
be permanently cured. Those affected
know that this is correct. 1t is here
that few years experience avails but
little. man must have been handling
these cases day after day for 20, Is or
30 years in order to know, and know
positively, just what he can do.
There is no doubt in my mind but
that these cases very often receive the
wrong method OF treatment.
The doctor reads that mercury is
good and he gives ii without a thor
ough understanding Of how to give and
when to give in order to get good re-
suits.
In consequence more harm has been
done in the past by improper use or
mercury than good.
see daily cases that have been over
dosed with mercury and injured rather
than benefited.
The doctor reads that idodide OF pot
ash and mercury are good for the dis
ease and so he mixes them, thinking
he may hit the mark somewhere. The
man who gives the socalled mixed
treatment" for syphilis is either too
lazy to try and find out for himself,
or ignorant Of the essential needs or
the case.
Yesterday received a letter from a
man who said he had been treated for
three years with solution of iodide or
potash alone. NOW the potash is good
for certain condition, was not, and
never had been indicated in this case,
and in consequence this man would
have been better off with no treatment
at all.
A knowledge of the disease and its
needs as well as a knowledge OF what
medicines to use and how to use
them in order to get good results is
essential, and with attention to detail,
will cure and cure permanently every
case.
But as have stated before, one OF
the most important advances In the
case and treatment of this disease That
has been made in our knowledge OF the
disease, has been the opening up to our
view the so-called para-syphlids, or thes>
seoueIa of the disease left after the &C
tive processes have passed away, ana
are undoubtedly due to the poisonous
products generated by the germs or the
disease, and in mis- way produces serl-
Gus after effects.
These cases are never benefitted py

former.
Detective Lanford was on Saturday

WINGED of this and wish they could find
someone who could explain their
trouble to them
Sometimes. too, doctors are too
ready TO give a name TO a trouble they
are consulted about. when 1t would be
far better to explain to the patient
their exact condition. rather than so
glibly naming the affection.
Today a patient consulted me whose
case had been called rheumatism, neu-
ralgia and various other affections,
wlen in fact II was plainly a nervous
affection that long since should have
been more accurately defined.
This morning L received a letter from
a man VINO has been treated for locomo-
tor-ataxia. prostate trouble, for kid
ney and bladder trouble, and 1 know
not what else and common sense must
snow that someone was surely wrong.
Did you ever go 10 three or four diff
rerent doctors for stomach trouble, and
have them each give you a diet list,
which must De followed accurately7
Did you ever compare them and note
that each differed? They couldn't all
be right. could theyV Someone was sure
ly wrong.
Another thing 1 have contended has
been the error OF treating the symptoms
rather than seeking for and giving care
full attention to the condition that
produces the symptoms; surely COM
mon sense indicates l am right about
this. To do this is only the result OF
true science. tor science after all is
only common sense correctly inter-
preted.
Taxing into consideration the symp-
toms. and the symptoms alone, leads
not only to the giving OF much medi-
cine needlessly, but the performing or
many operations that the patients would
be better off if they had never submit
ted 20.
There must be something wrong in
Israel, when a medical journal comes
out boldly and says that appendicitis
operations Will, in a few years go en-
tire1y out, and that not over ten per
cent OF them need operation" and when
the same journal quotes a writer OF
wide experience to the same effect,
and then states that Ignorance or
greed prompts operation in the other
80 per cent surely something wrong
somewhere.
But treating symptoms simply means
that the physician is unable TO make
a proper diagnosis and thus recognize
the diseased condition. The patient
tells him the symptoms, any fool can
recognize them, but IT takes the train
ed expert to properly interpret their
meaning and significance.
Then. TOO. IN chronic and acute
