DODGE TRUTHS;


Six years ago man in West Allis,
Wisconsin consulted physician He
complained of being tired and in a
somewhat run down condition. He
wansed tonic to brace him up. The
physician upon close questioning found
that he had lost some weight and
coughed occasionally. The patient made
light OF his symptoms and insisted that
he was not really i'll but needed mere
ly 'braeer."
The physician made thorough ex-
animation of the patient and finally
concluded that he had to deal with
case of consumption. He frankly told
his visitor SO and advised proper treat
ment. The patient however would
have none of it. He pooh-poohed the
suggestion. 1t was utter nonsense.
Instead Of beginning treatment he
consulted another doctor. The latter
told that patient what he wanted to
hear-that he had no tuberculosis and
that he needed only to take care of
himself for time, and he would be al
right" Fortified in this manner, the
patient vented his spleen upon the first
doctor, DR.. Blank, who had made him
uncomfortable for moment.
West Allis is not large town. The
news that DIR. Blank was crazy on the
subject of tuberculosis" was easily and
rapidly spread. The doctor lost pa
tients. Many new ones did not wish
to consult physician who "exaggerat-
ed the symptoms of little cold into a
dangerous case of tuberculosis, etc.
tuberculosis drags along. Indeed it
moves DIS slowly and stealthily as a
snake 1t was just the other day that
the patient died -of tuberculosis. 1t
took six years to vindicate Dr. Blank.
The patient never did apologize for
his ibelous statements. More than
that, believe | am safe in guessing
that he never even forgave the doctor
for telling him an unpleasant truth
Strange commentary on human nature,
isn't it?
That story is being duplicated all
over the state many, many times each
year. Indeed it illustrates one of the
moss important reasons why tubercu-
losis succeeds in killing so many peo-
pie. Ask your family physician, for
instance, if he hasn't had similar ex-
perience. Some practitioners have had
it happen so often that they have quit
telling their patients unpleasant truths
for which they are rewarded by abuse
only. Others, of more heroic mould,
stick to their duty and suffer as a con-
sequence in pocketbook and reputation.

Beef Raising Increasing In
Northern Wisconsin.

"The man who wishes to launch into
the beef producing industry, will find
unusual opportunities in northern Wis
consin.
This is the statement recently made
by John L. Tormey of the College of
Agriculture of the University of Wis
consin and secretary of the Wisconsin
Shorthorn Breeders Association.
~.Thers is much land in northern
Wisconsin" he recently declared,
(which is not high-priced and which is
adapted to grazing steers and cows to
produce calves. While we are told
that Wisconsin is paramount as dairy
state. it is fact that the beef cattle
Industry is gaining new and enthusiast
tic recruits. The breeder of Beef cat
tie may direct his activities along sew
eral different lines; he may feed range
cattle and profit on the gain and mar
GIN between the cost and selling price;
or. if he is skilIful he may raise his own
calves and market them as baby beef. !"
Mr.. Tormey viii likely accompany
the Live Stock Special on its tour of
s.Northwesternn and Green Bay and
Western lines in 10 Counties in upper
and Central Wisconsin between May
. and June IA. He will speak on the
possibilities for the profitable produe-
ton Of beef in apper Wisconsin. The
soeeial will be at Wabsno onJune 4th.
