DIXON OISCOuRSES
ON USE Of DOCTOR
PHYSICIAN RARELY CONSULTED
HE SAYS, UNTIL DAMAGE TO
ONES HEALTH HAS BEEN PER-
MANENTLY DONE.

HARRISBURG. Jan. 11--Doctor
and Patient" is the theme of State
Health Commissioner Dixon. He talks
in his weekly discourse on health OF
the general conception a man has of
his physician-a man who will give
him something when he is not feeling
right that will correct ills in day
or so.
do you know how to use a doctor?"
asks Doctor Dixon. When you are
ill you send for him, of course. He has
an autmobile to go to see people who
wait SO long before seeking his advice
that he must go to them. He begins
by asking all sorts of questions which
may seem to have little to do with the
matter in hand.
Suppose you did go to a banquet
and eat and perhaps drink little
more than usual. Perhaps you have
been working extra long hours at the
Office and naturally you haven't had
time to take exercise. Maybe you
have neglected yourself trifle. The
important thing is that you are sick.
and it is the doctors business to give
you medicine that will right all this
promptly. You haven't time to stay
in bed. and he knows it. Therefore
the thing for him to do is to give
you teaspoonful of something three
times a day before meals that will set
everything straight forthwith. This is
| an ordinary mans conception of a
doctors duty to his patient.
Now as to the doctors side of it.
When he comes to see a patient he

q Free Prescription You Can Have
 Filled and Use at Home

Victims of eye strain and other eye weaknesses and those who wear glasses. will be glad To know that according tu Dr. Lewis there is real hope and help for them. Many whose eyes were failing say they have had their eyes restored by this remarkable prescription and many who once wore glasses say they have thrown them away. One man says. after using it: "I was almost blind Could not see to read at all. Now l can read every thing without my glasses, and my eyes do not hurt any more. Al night they would pain dreadfully. Now they feel fine all the time It was like miracle to me" !" A lady who used 1t says: ''The atmos- phere seemed hay with or without glasses. but after using this prescription for fifteen days everything seems clear l can read even fine print without glasses. Another who used it says: "I was bothered with eye strain caused by overworked. tired eyes. which induced fierce headaches. I have worn glasses for several years, both for distance and work. and without them I could not read my own name on an envelope or the type writing on the machine before mo I can do both now and have discarded my long distance glasses altogether ] can count the tuttering leaves on the trees across the street now. which for several years have looked lil a dim green blnr to me I cannot exprcs1 my joy at what it has done for me"
 It IS believed that thousands who wear glasses can now discard them in reason

Plans for the construction of a cot ton compressor at or near Phoenix are being considered by the Salt Riv. CT Valley Cotton Growers association. The compressor, it is stated, will cost in the neighborhood of $50,000 and will be paid for by the ranchers them selves. For some years past the prob lem of sufficiently compressed cotton so as to obtain equitable railroad rates has been a serious problem af- fecting local cotton growers. and with the expansion of the industry. which is now taking place on a large scale. the need for a compressor is being discussed more generally. Hereto fore cotton shipments from Arizona have been shipped to Galveston with the privilege of stopping in transit for compression.
