Eminent Specialist.

Eminent Specialist.
1t is quite plain that the majority
of people are too credulous for their
own welfare. From letters coming
to this department it is evident that
much misunderstanding prevails re-
garding certain vital matters Of health
and economy. Although health is said
to be wealth, you can't buy it at any
price; it must be acquired by study.
But it is remarkable how lightly, how
eagerly people will risk their health,
such as they have. upon the widest
kind OF experiments
The notion prevails that a specialist
is an exceptionally well EDUCATED and
skillful physician. For instance, the
average human being imagines that
surgeon is more highly educated and
more competent than physician.
Both fancies are wrong. The prelinai-
nary training and the college course
of all three are identical. The surgeon
and the specialist must follow the
same lines Of instruction aud pass the
same examination for the degree.
Doctor Of Medicine, as the physician
who enters upon general practice.
| Hence the man who cuts out your
appendix or pronounces what is
wrong with your brain is Just as we'll
educated as your family physician,
no better.
+ 1t is true that many specialists take
postgraduate study Of weeks, months
or years, to better equip themselves
for work. And they do this volun-
tarily, since 1t Is not legal require
| ment anywhere in North America
] But so do many ordinary physicians,
and for the same reason-they are
eager 10 give the very best service TO
their patients.
Daily we read the stories of IN
happy inyalida who are sadder ii not
wiser. They have been too wise.
They have learned more in few
weeks or months of illness than the
family doctor could possibly know
about their ailments. Hence they
: have ineontinently thrust him aside
: fand picked their own specialists. 4
dangerous pas'ime aud terribly ex-
pensive one, when the value OF health
and the risk of procrastination is con
sidered.

MY DAUGHTER.

A silver food without the pane,
A mine of gold within;

Upon the Counterpart.
Red war lays waste a cringing earth,

Her pink toes folded in.

The great trouble with eminent
specialists is that they view the world
through glasses of their own favorite
color A nerve specialist sees every
thing blue; astro-enteroIogist sees
everything yellow; a surgeon too often
sees red. And so on through the
spectrum. Now, a we'll trained, stu
dious family doctor stands off far
enough to condense the rays, and he
sees white. Let your family doctor
