Why ! Advertise

You may have heard somebody
speak i'm a discrediting way of me
because ! advertise. Perhaps YOU
have been told if ] was a good
physician ! would not have to ad-
Nertise, l don't Neither does q
good preacher Yet. If You will
reflect the preacher most people
Ike best to hear is the wideawake
progressive fellow who talks on
the live issues Of your own dav
and locality, and fills his pews bv
using the newspapers and bulletin
boards TO advise the public of his
topics and work. Whoever heard
of preacher who advertised
twenty years ago? Times are
changing. There arc stul some
who don't advertise. They don't
have to. Neither do the others.
But which kind are actually do
ing the greatest good i'm your citv2.
The ordinary physician doesn't
have to advertise. ITc is an active
part Of tho social life Of his OWL
little neiehborhood. EVERYDAY
knows him There is USUALLY
enough sickness Of a local or acute
nature To- keep him busy. SO there
Is no necessity for him to adyer-
usc. am q specialist and an
educator. ! try newspaper talks to
educate and warn the public
against the grave mistake of pro-
crastination. Another reason why
! advertise Is because having
fewer prospective patients in
small territory than the local doc
tor. my field must be larger and.
therefore, must depend upon other
means for business than the per
sonal acquaintance of my patients,
one with another The cases /
treat are the deep-seated, diff
cult cases, some Of them requir-
ing very expensive equipment in
the way of scientific appliances.
This means an investment for me
which the local doctor does not
have to carry, and is an additional
reason why l advertise. in order
that the public shall know where
to get successful treatment for
difficulties which have haffled the
less experienced and inadequately
equipped practitioner
All physicians who advertise viO-
late the code of medical ethics,
which has not changed since it was
first adopted many scores OF years
ago. Modern progress has changed
many old ideas and church creeds
have been modified, and even the
Holy Bible has been revised, but
medical ethics are the same. The
code is necessarily moss covered, &,
antiquated and obsolete Years
ago / withdrew from medical So
ciety, believing the interest of my

Period OF Gloom.

The first part of the year was one
of gloom through the oil region
Overproduction and the uncertainty
of how much of flood oklahoma
might give, caused a nervous feeling
among producers. The latter part OF
the year was one OF those contrasts
which appear TO follow the industry
The market which had declined to a
low point by April, began TO advance
in August, and by the end Of the
year had made general gain OF so
duction declined over 100000 barrels
in its daily output, and while there
was some addition by other fields. the
loss Of this large amount was felt in
every brancf of the industry 1t
brought better prices for crude, and
refiners found It difficult to obtain
sufficient to supply the demand. At
the close of the year the outlook was
decidedly encouraging for the pro-

NHdcuttcr Busy

The wildcat operator is busy i'm all
counties of the oil belt, and it would
be remarkable if ne did not find i'm
Eortant pools. Illinois viii also be
given a further test in 1916. and while
the pools there are small i'm area. they
make money for the producer who
finds them. The Texas Panhandle
has added little to its productive area
during the year but there is more
wildcat work in north Texas than ever
before, and most of the wells will be
deep ones. Some Of these are OK
pected to add to the list of fields i'm
that district.
In the eastern fields the infested
acreage is small, yet a year rarely
passes that some territory is not found
that well Icpays the producer. Tho
old pools also are not fully drilled,
and the old leases make good returns
on the investment. This is proven by
the figures for 1915 of operations in
the oil counties Of New York and
northeastern Pennsylvania. Owing TO-
the Low prices fewer wells were
drilled, the number being only l52S
as against 2,249 in 1914, but the new
production amounted to G,332 barrels,
or 1,8GS barrels more than in 1914.
Much Of this was due to the Evans
City pool, but the old field of Brad
ford added over one thousand barrels.
Ir this district 81 dry holes and gas
wells were found last year, a decrease
of 81 from the figures for 1914.

Kan.n. in LimcIIght.

During the last month Of the year
gushcr Well near Augusta, Kan, at
uACted the attention of the oil pro-
ducers. II promises to open an i'm
portant field. This list Includes all
the pools that have been developed
during the year. A number of Wild
cat ventures have been made that
may prove important during the pres
ent year Several of the counties Of
central Ohio have presented large
producers within a few months and
there are expectations that the Clin-
ton sand of Hooking and Ninton cOur-
lies will be an important factor in
adding to the petroleum supply. There
are also hopes of a paying field being
developed near Cleveland. A small
oil producer and a large gas well i'm
the vicinity of Ashtabula Ohio, indi-
cate the possibility of pool there.
Kentucky ana Tennessee will be given
another testing this year. as there are
prospects for the operator which will
not be allowed to go undoveloped.
oklahoma and southern Kansas may
be expected to add more paying fields
to those which have made Jhat digis-
ion famous.

again and again we receive evidence
that women in this state are still 'buf-

utterly false, we would prove again by
quoting:

NEARLY $4,000 CASES OF INFAN-
TILE PARALYSIS IN THE UNIT
ED STATES SINCE JANUARY /

Federal and state health authorities,
in conference at Washington on August
IL, gave out tabulated list, showing
that since January 1, 11,717 cases of
infantile paralysis have appeared in the
United States, distributed through thir-
ty-seven states of the union. These fig
ures have caused alarm lest the epidemic
should assume countrywide proportions.
Up to that time, 1853 cases had ap-
peared in the state of New York, LIZA
in New Jersey, 1856 in Pennsylvania,
1913 in Connecticut, 318 in Minnesota,
2O6 in Illinois, and 1O5 in Massachusetts.
In all the other states, the number of
cases ran under three figures, Michigan,
however, showing 81.
On August II, health authorities in
Philadelphia announced that 225 cases
had appeared in that city since July 1,
with a total of 63 deaths.
On August 18, it was announced that
80 known cases had appeared in Chi
cago, and it was admitted that the ma
lady was spreading.
On August 16, it was announced that
the first case of infantile paralysis had
appeared in Lake county, Illinois, being
that of a twelve-year old girl at High
land Park, whose lower limbs and arms
are paralyzed.
There will be no baby contest at the
Lake county fair this year.
