The Birmingham age-herald., 1910-09-01

The much -talked-of world famous Elec- tro-Radio experts will be with us com mencing today. While the chief of staff Is young man, yet personally he is the most charming of men, there is cer- tain magnetic influence that attracts you to him whether you meet him socially or as the eminent specialist He Is thor oughly cosmopolitan in his views and generous to a fault; to use an old saying, his heart is as big as his body. His many years of contact with the suffering thousands who have come to him for re- lief instead of making him callous have made him more tender and solicitous to alleviate their sufferings.
 The Specialist
 The old-time idea that the general prac- titioner and family physician could cure all ills that flesh is heir to is not that of the twentieth century. Today 1t is the specialist who is consulted. The man who makes a special study of special dis eases and Is fully prepared to treat them He has given the best years of his life to fit himself to be specialist not only in name but in fact. He has attended all of the most celebrated hospitals and post graduate schools of Europe, including those of London, Paris, Vienna, Berlin and Edinburgh. :. He has also taken in addition to these the full post graduate course in medicine and surgery in the Post Graduate and University of the State of New York and also in the Philadelphia Polytechnic Hospital and School for Grad uates in Medicine.
 He was for a long time president of the Institute of Physicians and Surgeons of Milwaukee, Wis, a chartered institu- ton with cash capital of $75,000, and is still an honorary member of the staff of consulting physicians and surgeons of St. Lukes Hospital of Michigan.
 Elegant Offices
 When he came here he promised the people of Birmingham the finest and most complete medical and surgical institution in America and to say he has succeeded will be putting it mildly. One thing is certain, there seems to be nothing lacking that money can buy
 A reporter called on the doctor to in- spect his new offices and have a friendly chat with him, well knowing that he could learn many things that would be of inter est to our readers.
 The reporter was cordially received by the doctor and upon his making known the object of his visit was shown through the various rooms which are by far the most complete and elegant of their kind not only in Birmingham. but in the whole United States. We will try to give brief description of them. The first room you enter is the general reception pr  somely furnished apartment with the floor covered with a heavy Administer carpet in green color tints woven into pretty floral designs. The chairs and divans are all of the kind you would expect to find in the library or smoking room of an ele1 gant home-covered with rich dark Mo- rocco leather they are just the sort that invite rest and repose. This elegant room has been made possible by the tearing down of a partition making two rooms one which is divided by handsome draped curtains that blend with the rich floral covering Going out from the reception room the next room you enter is the doc tors private consulting room. This apart ment is furnished in the same general way, but more as an office, with hand some roll-top desk, bookcases, telephones etc. We now come to the operating room where every appliance known to modern surgery and physics is to be found The first thing to attract the reporters at- tention was a huge Faradic Galvanic and Interrupting Current Battery, one of the largest of it's kind in the country that the doctor had built expressly for himself, and which he uses in his special treat ment of Tumors, Ovarian troubles, Piles Fistulas, Diseases of the stomach, Liver and Kidneys and for Gout, Rheumatism etc. In another part of the room is seen A 24-plate Static and X-Ray machine used by the doctor in examining the mil nutest organs of the body and diagnosing obscure diseases, as well as in the treat ment of all forms of nervous troubles such as Insomnia, Hysteria, Headaches etc. Here also is to be found poWer- full searchlight used in making examin- ation and in treating Catarrh and the various diseases of the throat and nose.
