And great mu1titudes of the sick
Affections"
No more eloquent proof of his popu-
larity is needed than to watch the
great throngs of patients waiting to
see Dr.. A. w. Jernigan, the practition-
er who conducts his practice upon a
strictly cash basis, and charges just
one-half the rates of other physicians.
His clientele has been increasing in
volume so rapidly that the patients
have been more or less inconvenience
ed waiting for him to reach their
cases. For this reason it has become
necessary for him to secure three
times as much office room as previous
ly occupied. Now he has the largest
and best equipped Office in the city
for the care of the sick, in addition to
his splendid sanitorium at 1920 Gaines
These improvements will enable him
to provide for a greater number of
patients, and at the same time insure
them against the long and tedious
waits, which have been unavoidable.
DR.. Je1nigan is establishing the med
ieal profession upon new basis, and
demonstrating that the people approve
of modern methods of doing a strict
ly cash business at moderate fee for
skilled service and the custom of TAX
ing the people into his confidence
through the medium of the press.
