 I heard another man suggest some lining the other day which is worth 'being made public even though it may not appeal to everyone, in fact it does not to me, but you can use it at its news value The idea was for the gov arnment to build and conduct on Hot Springs Mountain a clinic, the largest  and most compleJe iu Jhe world Tick els of membership were 10 be sold good for one year at the nominal sum Of s5. this ticker 10 enuue the holder to office attention from specialists in every Known dTsgTse- TTTry doctors at salaries of $5o01 a year were to be employed and t was believed that the cHni would have d membership of 100000 by the close of the first year and would net S2oo000, with continual increase The man who suggested this said 1t would increase the practice of every reputable doctor in the city. and don't know but that it would n would be a wonderful means Of publicity and the free sur eicai advantages would make of il the best possible assistance to the local surgeons
