DOCTORS AND ADVERTISING

A firm of doctors at Caldwell, ad-
vertising the forthcoming arrival OF
certain apparatus employed to re-
duce blood pressure and to x ray,
state apologetically that they do not
desire to be understood as violating
the tradition" against doctors ad-
vertising.
1t may be traditional" but it is
more often called "unethical' for
doctors to advertise, that is, doctors
of what is known as the old school.
But the ethics of the situation seem
to have been parted in the middle,
for all those members of that honor
able profession advertise in one way
or another Only newspaper adver-
Using seems to be barred.
They advertise in large letters on
their doors and their windows and
in other ways, including word Of
mouth and news reported mentioning
their connection with various cases
and operations.
There is every reason from the
standpoint of information to the pub
lie, IL for no other, why doctors of
any school should advertise in the
newspapers at least to the extent of
carrying cards in their local papers,
giving the office location, telephone
number, etc.
Failure on their part to keep
themselves correctly before the pub
lie has given new schools an advan-
tage and has also created a feeling
among certain groups of the public
inimical to the interests of the older
schools of medicine and which is re-
Elected during nearly every session
of every legislature.

persistency, more ingenuity, moro re
sourcefulness to build with imper
feet material and tools of doubtful
efficacy-for the best courage ma!
become wobbly in the handle, the
finest motives dulled and the high
est knowledge lose it's forcefulness o.
application. We cannot, therefore, al
ways blame the material but the
workmen, as well, if results are moi
as desired.
The price we pay for this material
is somewhat higher than it used to
be, probably not because of short
age but more because of fewer en-
ployed in using it to the best ad-
vantage, and to the application OF
poor methods, or none.
We surely pay high price for
pessimism, for fault finding, for sus-
picion, for a sluggish dependency
upon our government-for we never
get something for nothing. We might
as we'll depend upon ourselves at the
outset, for it all comes back to us at
the government, tho government is
only "us."

Payette enterprise. (Payette, Canyon Co., Idaho) 1909-1935, 1923-09-27

A town, district, without public
spirit is frightfully near the munici
pal or community graveyard. It is 9
place where man-made clouds hans
heavily and eternally 1t is the place
where there is division, dissension
depression, devilment, dissatisfac.
ton, distrust, Encouragement
where there is moral, mental and
industrial distemper.
Where public spirit abounds, there
is unity, activity, progress, strength,
results.
The building of public spirit is,
therefore, most important under
taking. 1t is a duty, service, an
effort into which we should put our
whole hearts and the best that is in
our hands.
We should, go about it with enthu-
slasm, with hopefulness and with
terlal but bringing it into usefulness.
Payette enterprise. (Payette, Canyon Co., Idaho) 1909-1935, 1923-09-27

1t is up to us If we really desire to
complete this needed building to
make use of all the material, good
and bad alike-to remodel the one
until it fits into the structure and to
keep the other at all times service
able,
Public spirit means everything,
apply it as you may-and it is only
the heightened shadow OF individual
spirit, Of individual purposefulness
and tenacity.
Public spirit builds communities,
maintains creditable institutions. It
provides payrolls. 1t creates wealth
and distributes wealth. 1t is the
best little fundamentally We know
of to bring the bacon into every
home.
