NORTH CAROUNA PAGE THREE THE FAMH^Y DOCTOR which en*blca these of more mod erate means to do their shopping at this popular and reputable raercan- tile bouse. John Joseph Gaiaefl, M. D.) CUANGING DOCTOIW It has been said that It’s practice to swap' horses In the mid dle of the stream. I think this ap plies quite as well - to the abmpt shanclni of physicians in the mid dle of a protracted disease. In the very nature of some com plaints. they advance very slowly, ukins sometimes months and years to produce complete disability. Di seases that come slowly are. ae a rnle, overcome slowly. A disorder that has been on band two or three years cannot be cleaned up many weeks. Parttcnlarly is this true in diseases of the bean. lunRS and kidneys. To shift physicians impatiently every two weeks. In the effort to secure quick relief, invite (llsoster; it takes in cases of very serious disease, eral months ol intimate relation and study on the part of the physic'an, to tide he patient ashore snfely. This cannot be done by shlttin;: tac tics on part of tho Invalid. It la hh biisInesB to start rlffht My ontstandlng case today was a very asrravatlnR case of ectema.

If one doesn’t know diagnosis very well, lie will be rect nine times out of ten by calling it ”a form of eexema." Of course the thing the patient demands Is relief; he doesn’t care two whoops about the looks of the thing—he wonts the itching stopped — the sooner the bettor. And would you. dear reader. First and foremost, remove AI.l. irritation. Tight; his life may depend upon U. Yearn ago. a wealthy man offered me $1000 to clear up one-fourth of one per cent of albumin from his urlno. I accepted his bantering proposition. “What shall I do first.'' be asked: “go to bed tor four weeks." I answered. "Can’t possi bly do It; you see. I’ve got some business—Of course he had. All men have affairs. He went to a magnetic healer.” who cured by laying on of the bands. $250 wasted. Another shift to a "pathy”; no better luck; then to a ’’pracllc"; by this time dropsy was coming. A month with a mas- eenr who agreed to “rub It out.’’ 11 didn't rub out. The last I heard of the case, he had gone to bed and called his family doctor; too late— the kidneys were far beyond possi ble relief. Swapping horses In mld- •tream. That man should bn alive today. But he was too busy to "stay put.’’ He has been dead It you suspect serious disease. Slick to your physician—don’t neg lect his advice—he’s your best bet. dcr relief Impossible, what the treatment, pellcd a lady to slop wearing o fur boa. who had an intense ecrema that Included the skin of her rather long neck.

Carry out your physician’s directions—else you are liable to carry on exceedingly chron ic disease for many years. THE SKIN Pt'ZZU-l An old anecdote has It that a clety lady at her bridge game, asked her partner, who was a young “skin wpectnllat." why he chose that branch of medical protesalon tor bja.
