1t is a temptation to take up with
some new idea in medicine If the
old methods have failed il is natural
to fly TO some new school for prac-
tice. If a dear one has died in spite
of medicinal effort, you become dis
gusted and skeptical about doctors.
All these impulses are as natural
as human nature itself.
But is it wise to yield 10 this temp
tation?
! am critical at times, perhaps all
the time, over the delay of the med
zeal profession to adopt new ideas.
But it must be admitted that many
arguments in favor of extreme con-
servatism in accepting revolutionary
medical procedure
One of the chief distinctions be-
tween a young man and an old man
is the apparent enthusiasm Of the
latter of innovations Age has
learned 10 be cautious. SO many
times have new things disappointed
that every novel idea is viewed with
suspicion
Conservatism is 10 be commended
provided il does not result in fos-
siHsm-but one should never be
come crystallized. hardened beyond
hope of change
1t is clearly the duty of the medi-
cal profession to examine carefully
every claim which seems to possess
possible value. 1t is the duty of the
profession TO do this, and when it
makes a practice Of doing this thing
freely and honestly the cults will
disappear. because everything good
they possess will be accepted. and
Will be fused into the general prac-
tice of medicine

In the meantime we must use good
judgment in the choice of a ply
sician. Led us not be carried away
by fads and fancies. Let US analyze
every claim and not be fooled by
pretense.
Bear in mind always that science
has discovered no universal cure.
The method Of treatment whish will
cure a sore eye is no use in measles
The treatment must fit the disease.
Never forget that "a stitch in time
saves nine" and that AN ounce of
prevention is worth pound Of
cure" Don't wait 10 get sick, be-
cause getting we'll is much more diff
fcult than keeping well.
Learn how TO live.
Do you buy your first car. step into
it and drive away from the show
rooms. Certainly not, You have
much TO learn before you can drive
a car. You have much more to
learn before you can keep it in driv-
ing condition.
Lots of folks attempt TO drive the
human machine with less knowledge
of it than the owner of a new car
has at the end of the first day
Don't be like this, Learn 10 know
your body Study its mechanism and
its needs When you know all about
it and its requirements you Will not
be carried away by fads and fancies.
You will live simply, eat the right
foods, breathe fresh air all the time.
exercise properly, and Will not abuse
your body by wrong ways of caring
for it when you are well. or by
wrong ways Of treating it when you
are sick
If you follow this advice your III
nesses will be few and far between
and there Will be no need TO seek
novel methods Of cure.
