SHOULD PHYSICIANS
DISCLOSE Discoveries
If Life May Be Saved and Suf-
fering Humanity Benefited,
Then Why Not?
UNITED DOCTORS TELL
THE IMPORTANT STORY

When new discovery in medicine
has been made the news spreads over
the globe. Scientists and physicians
are quick to begin Investigation. and
II they find, after experimenting that
the discovery Is what 1t Is claimed to
be. the energetic doctors begin to use
the new discovery in their practice.
The new discovery having been
made and many doctors using the
methods. still there are comparatively
few persons who know anything of
the wonderful new method which
may benefit them. There 10 no way OF
finding out about any new treatment
except In an indirect manner, and
why7 Because the average physician
claims that 1t is unethical to give the
new discoveries proper publicity in
order to inform the general public OF
the helpful treatment. Here's the
question foremost In the minds of the
United Doctors. Is 1t not more un-
ethical to allow persons to suffer and
in many instances arrive at q point
ance than 1t Is to give them the in
formation regarding the treatment
which may be helpful to them?
The United Doctors 40 not believe
in waiting until it Is too late to let
the patient know of the new dis
coveries--they tell of them through
the columns of the newspapers so
that all may benefit by modern
science. The newest method in the
treatment of chronic diseases comes
through electricity and in all such
diseases as nervousness, acne, blood
pressure, alcoholism. rheumatism,
asthma, bronchitis. constipa ii o n,
cystitis. diabetes. dyspe psia, catarrhal

Many Diseases Treated With

Methods Of Administering

Electricity has been used tn medi-
cine for century or more. but only
in a limited way untn The introduce

since which time the medical profess
sion has been turned moro and more
toward electricity until today It l. the
most generally used Of all tho extra
drug methods, of treatment.
The former forms OF electricity
were limited TO Galvanic, Parable and
Static currents. The discoveries OF
Darsonval and Telsa have given the
professional world an entirely new
form of electrical energy possessing
impulse and volume and IN the light
of clinical experience capable OF pro-
ducing profound effects on the human
system.
The general impression of the aver
age person IL that treatment by cleo
trtcity is shocking and painful. but on
the. contrary, the high frequency cur
rents are smooth and II the patient
was unaware of the treatment being
administered no effects whatever
would be felt 1t Is known fact that
in hundreds of cases where medicine
has failed electricity produces won
derful results and brings the most re-
markable relief.
Diseases, which modern electrical
treatment have effected speedy and
permanent cures in. are nervousness,
acne. blood pressure, alcoholism,

Des Moines.-Governor Clarke has

on the good roads special train, de-
lighted with the enthusiasm mani
tested in eastern Iowa over good
roads.
"The opposition to the road move
ment will gradually disappear as the
people come to understand it, said
the governor. Everywhere the train
made q stop there was a good crowd
eager to hear what the boosters had
to say. They displayed keen inter-
est in the subject.
"The idea is abroad that good roads
means paved roads. When 1t is un-
derstood that nothing extreme Is ad
vocated, but that the people desire a
law which will permit every county
by referendum to determine whether
good roads should be built and how
they should be used, there will re-
suit united effort to pull Iowa out
of the mud.
II believe that where 1t is possible,
the boosters should hold meetings in
the small towns as we'll as the larger
cities. In the small places they are
intensely interested In the good road
movement and as a rule they turn out
better than in the large cities.
at always pays to talk thing ov-
er with the people. No one should
be overlooked. In this good roads
movement we should talk frankly
with the people, so that misunder-
standing as to what is proposed will
be overcome"
