QUEER STATEMENT
Says Her Medicine Was Chang
ed by Her Family Physician
Not Once, But 81 Times in
Vain Attempt to Cure.

stefan to treat and relieve symptoms
rather than disease conditions
Symptoms such as pain, nervous
ness, weakness, and all forms of ply
steal discomfort are not absolute
disease conditions. but simply the ex-
preston of disease conditions, which
in many instances are most remote
and can only be discovered by a
searching examination at the hands
of medical experts who devote their
entire time to the diagnosis and
treatment of chronic diseases.
Most general practitioners, when
called into a home to wait upon a
patient afflicted with any form Of
acute disease, generally submits the
patient to a rigid and thorough eX-
animation which enables them to
diagnose and treat the case success

case which calls at his office with
