Atlanta Georgian., 1912-05-04

There are tests we can make here at rea-
sorable nrice because of the large number OF
natients we see daily. IT, however, we were
SEEING only few patients each day 1t would
be so expensive as to be proh1oltlve. bac1e-
biological tests, examinations ana LABORATORY
methods are today revolutlonlzlng meolclhe
and surgery. and l can say without lear OF
contradiction that 81 per cent Oh pnysi0A"lS
are not keeping up to date
When was recently forced to move on &C
count of lack of room l thought Wnen tooh
5000 feet of floor space, subdlvlded INTO 4
rooms, with other space making practlcally
rooms more, that I was amply provided for.
But soon found that had to give up my own
consultation room in order to make room LOT
increased laboratory equipment which | was
determined should be the best in the South.
Under the methods for caring for patients in
vogue even 10 years ago. four or nVe small
rooms would have been amply sufficient.
WHAT I THINK OF '606
That bacteriological examinations are nee
eesarv has been very forcibly illustrated during
the mast couple Of years in the history OF Ehr-
Itch S Salvarsan or "606 :" ] have been quot
cd as being opposed to it and as condemnlng
it. which is not true simply told the puonc
the absolute truth, and every criticism made
has been shown to be absolutely true IN every
resnect, I have said it was only another one
knew to be of value in relieving symptoms, and
nearly all were dangerous
The methods used at first have all been dis
earded on account of its danger, and every DAY
1ve see in this Office evidences OF the results OF
it's use by incompetent physicians who see IN
it only means of adding to their bank &C
counts But what the public does not 1ully
understand as yet is that there are very lew
of the men who give II WHO dle Iedlly 0olipo-
tent to prepare it.
Ehrlich pointed this out long ago and has
a1wavs expressed fear of this being the cause
of had results that would follow It's use Ihls
has been proven to be the case, and then there
are a few so unscrupulous as to use 1t and
nron1ise the patient that one, or at the most,
two doses would be cure, and they gamble on
it's relieving temporarily and long enough Tor
them to collect their fees. Then, too, IN the
treatment of this disease, certain tests must be
made TO determine the result and here is where
the meteorological laboratory comes IN.
I NEVER HAVE SOLD CURES.
RTTT-come to see us-see whether l tell
the truth in my advertisements or not. All
ordinary examinations and tests are made free
of charge. Go and see first whether or not you
like the methods and equipment OF others.
Then come to me and use your common sense.
We don t promise you cure for certain sum,
and neither does any honest doctor. And II
there is anyone who does this | dare him to
come out in print and deny that he is anything
but fraud and faker.
But YOU, who have been under the care of
several physicians for long time without
success. come and see me- and the evidences of
vour own sense will, believe, convince you.
The chronic invalid needs and has right
to demand not only the best that science can
give but the attention and conscientious service
and intelligence of those who think of the good
of the patient above all else. This kind OF ser
vice have been giving and shall always be
determined to give my patients
am the public S obedient servant for add
ing to its health and strength (and that means
happiness).
