though, we have had no such complaint.

the most part beside wonderful streams,

above all else for beautiful scenery,

OF the laymen consulted" the report
says, "is that the medical profession
too long has hidden behind the mystic
wall OF medical etnlcS.
The report emphasizes the point that
physicians must pay for their adver-

'the fact they have kept the public in

medicine in the state is considering a
proposal to make use of paid newspaper
space in disseminating authoritative in

report points out.
