KIDNEY DISEASES
REQUIRE BEST OF
MEDICAL SERVICE

Chronic dlenses are increasing In prev

kidney dtseHse than most people have
any realization Of. Why should this be"
Why Is it 50" Why is this sad condition
OF uffairS-how can these chronic dis
cases exist with the knowledge OF mod

Think OF the long list Of prominent
men whose lives went out before the al
most unimpedcd march OF Bright's dis
case and diabetes. Think of the loved
ones. the friends. the acQuaintances who
have gone down to All untimcly grave
caused by these diSeaSeS-and the almost
vain appeal for help from the ailing.
The Electru-Medicltl Doctors have con-
tended from the first that kidney disease
fatalities might be reduced to minimum
IL treated by modern methods and by all
experienced physician. Simply u physi-
clan who has treated large number OF
these diseases and through his expert
ence knows what is required to give the
utmost results without further expert
rlents.
The general practitioner Is often but
"Iure Schooled Doctor" whose few cases
may hold one or more cases ot kidney
disrase. He treats scores of acute all
ments and must have general knOwl-
edge Of 50 many diseases. that II Is I'M

Client To enable him to treat successfully
all diseases, both acute and chronic. well
defined and obscure, compassed by cir
cumstances known and unknown. The
physician who tries 10 do this soon
learns he has made an all around failure.
The busy family practitioner Is never
enabled to apply his talent to the diseases
which his natural qualifications might
warrant him in becoming graudly sue

Those with kidney diseases must OF

The Electro Medical Doctors specialize
In chronic diseases, and to this may be
