About your |
Health
Things You Should Know
by John Joseph Gaines, M. D.
VALUES IN READING
Careful reading of “Health Hints”
may be said to be highly profitable,
but we should be extremely cau
tious in accepting advice unless its
truth is self-evident. The chief ar
gument against the intelligent use
of coffee, comes from promoters
who are advancing a substitute for
the time-honored beverage. Health
admonitions found in advertising
matter are, as a rule, “cut on the
bias.” Their prime motive is
sales and more sales.
A number of excellent physicians
today write for the press, from
their ample stores of experience.
My daily paper carries its health
column, and I read that in pref
erence to happenings in crime or
the so-called “sport page.” I get
more value out of it. A young lady
of my acquaintance grew ill; her
case baffled her family physician
for over a year. A specialist
finally discovered that she was
suffering from lead poisoning, due
to a preparation used on her face.
She had never read warnings, al
though such were plentiful.
By reading I learn the methods
employed by that most unscrupul
ous swindler on earth, the quack
who preys upon sick people. The
number of dupes convinces me that
there are thousands of people who
do not read enough to fit them for
intelligent judgment in as serious
a matter as their health. They
“bite” at the most glaring frauds.
They feed the vulture that fattens
on them. *** When may intelligence
dawn? Even epileptics are fleeced.
Tubercular and cancerous victims
are lied to and refbbed every day,
in the most fiendish manner. The
easiest money to get is that ob
tained by the medical impostor.
Physicians with genuine qualifi
cations never advertise; they do
not need misrepresentation to fur
ther their personal interests. Folks
who read intelligently know this.
Too many do not read.
