1 Operating chairs and cases filled with every known surgical instrument make this the most complete private operating
 room it has ever been my good fortune to see. Further down the halls are the Mi- l croscopical, Biological and Chemical lab l oratories and drug room, fitted up with l every instrument and appliance known to | modern science, for the doctor does not | care to undertake the treatment of case unless he makes a chemical and micro | scopic examination of the sputum, urine and other excreta, as the case may be. | After returning to the private office | the reporter told the doctor there were him in regard to his methods of doing l business. The doctor replied he was will. l ing to answer any and all questions ex- cept those in regard to patients that had been treated or were under treat ment for, said he: 'If there is any one thing I will not do 1t Is to mention | names when talking to patients about cases similar to their own which I have cured. If any of my former patients who have taken the treatment and have been cured, wish to tell their friends and ac- quaintances about their cases, I am cer- tainly under many obligations to them | for their kind words, but for myself I consider that everything that transpires l between the physician and patient as | sacred as the secrets or the confessional" l Agreeing with the doctor on this point, 1 the report asked him: How is it, doc | tor, that you can afford to make ex- anlinations free? How can you go into | all minor details of case, using the l X-ray and searchlight, If necessary, and make no charger
 | The doctor replied: q do this for two | reasons. The first one Is that it is a | great source of comfort to all suffer- | ing humanity to know us near as possi- irlE yNh jc 1Ui and whether they can be helped or not. 'The second one Is for my own benefit, | for I cannot and will not undertake any case unless I have a thorough knowledge I of it. If I cannot treat case intelligent | ly I will not treat it at all"
 After making examination, does ita place the patient under any obligation to treat with you''
 To this question the doctor replied most | emphatically: NO! I impress 1t on the
 mind of every prospective patient that
 al, consultations, advice and examina- l tions are without charge. If I made
 charge-no matter how small it was-the
 patient would have cause to think-and | rightly, too--if took his case, that I did
 so simply to get another fee out of him. While after I have made a thorough ex-
 animation, told the patient just what the
 matter is with him. and have also told
 him what I would charge for course of | treatment, it then rests entirely with the
 patient whether he treats with me or not. He is at perfect liberty 10 go to any other physician. He don't owe me one cent, unless he decides to take my treatment. | Tn obscure cases an examination that | is a thorough one will take from one to | two days where I use the X-Ray appara- tus and make chemical and miscropi- l cal analysis of the urine, for I find that | in nine-tenths of the cases where a spe- cialist is consulted, an examination of ha wi ba mi ha proper chemical reagents is necessary to diagnose the case to a certainty, but in and knowledge for the benefit of the pa- tent ard make no charge
 | The doctor went on to say that his | special methods of treatment of chronic | and nervous diseases was the result of | years of study and research. Every case | that he treats, and all or his cases thai are taken, are given it's own special treat ment The constitution Of no two men or women are alike. No more are their diseases. Every case that comes to the | specialist has it's own distinctive features and cannot be treated as whole.
 | After looking through his elegant suite of offices, and his pleasant half hour chat, | the reporter left feeling certain that in | securing the doctor as a permanent resi- | dent Birmingham had secured a useful and energetic citizen.
 | He can be consulted in his new suite | of offices daily between the hours of and 12 a. m. and and p. m. As he has | been solicited by many who want treat
 p,ent and cannot call during the day he has consented to keep evening hours from / ' to s. Suite s04-5-6 Farley building.
