 Guessing vs. Knowing It takes E4nore than a superzctad examination Eef some. patients to find out what is lt1le actual cause of their suffering tPerhaps the reason why the general
 family physician fails when called upon to treat chronic cases is because lhe is usually looking for acute condi- EfIons and their causes. Many people seaH the doctor only when the soIer- i5ngs of the patient become alarming, Many of t42e more dangerous diseases cause but little if any suffering at the Estart and the development of pain is ise gradual that complaint is not made ks1ntil the disease has reached an eaiarnii4g stage
 S-ynrptems are then presented to the tfanfi4y doster and they are so differ lent from the usual routine that he is lied to prescribe a, drug that will sup SYress 6lre pains.
 Relief follows of course but the dis lease itself is not checked only the lsensitEhtzes of the victim are duiied-
 recall the case of a fine man who iwaaked into the Home Health Club offices ere day and wanted to know fi1 could tell him what was the mat iteE. The man was giant in stature tb71s there was but little left of his body but the framework. His skin 1 hung in folds for he had weighed over I2o9 pounds. His face looked like he
 might Joe 90 years old, but as a matter tpf facA he was but little past 40, and
 so weak it was difficult to walk. HaN- t3ng travelled quite a distance, first by
 auto, then by train and finally by EStreet car he was almost utterly ex
 haagsbed.
 It was almost beyond belief that -&sk I undergone could have been given to Eany man and still live. Nearly a bdozen different diagnoses had been Eanade and only one had even sug- tsgested the real disease. He merely tssnoaze of such a. case having been dis kclizzsed at 9, big meeting of his Med9- LcaE society and said that this might tSbe $one of tho same &i1ld- He did not htaksA the trouble to fully investigate k&41t Yfke all the rest, proceeded to kzyive -6r11gs to kill the symptoms
 A hsAnf hours questioning and a kcarefuI examination located the cause Eand pzoEser treatment directed for its kxsnaovaL Although a foreigner the fuoaa understood fairly wea what was kzsaid to hmm and as soon as explained kto i1dna quite fully why he was suffer Eing, he recognized Instantly the cor krectness of the diagnosis apd was kreadv to do whatever was directed. kEIe rrSz1e a rapid recovery and is nal k71raday one of our most enthusiastic men4bezs.
 I have always considered diagnosis ] the most important part of successful treatment of the sick and it is far bet ter to spend a hundred dollars to find out the real cause than to 1erndr sew l eraI hundred taking treatment that does no good, wastes precious time and sometimes allows the disease to prngress to such an extent that it be- comes incuIzdhle,
