THE SLKIW Tii.'Bl'KE. ELKIN. WORTH CAROHNA
The
FAMILY DOCTOR
(By John Joseph Gaines, M. D.)
CASE NOTES
A very robust lady, weight 26 2;
pounds, wife of a farmer in the west,
came with a backache that disabled
her, and which no medicine seemed |
to relieve more than temporarily.
A thorough examination of this
lady revealed no organic lesion.
Evidently her spinal muscles were
suffering from overuse, just muscu- j
lar overstrain. She was a most per
fectly built woman, almost a giant-.
ess. She had borne eleven children, |
most of them weighing 12 or 13
pounds at birtn. And. no pelvic in
juries of any kind. Her age, 46.
My treatment, rest, and DRY
HEAT applied daily: the infra-red |
ray over the zone complained of. |
Six treatments, with REST, cured
the woman; she left yesterday for
her home.
This was not "rheumatism," nor
any part of it. All remedies aimed
at rheumatic infection would have
proven futile. I have seen such pa-1
tlents treated with intravenous in
jections and the whole array of
salicylates—only to record failure.
Another case Is on hand now, her
tenth and last treatment comes to
morrow. She has synovl'is in the
right knee-joint. Perfect health
otherwise, but this disables. Same
age as the firßt patient. Tht ; knee
is failing from overuse. But the di
sease is not over six months stand
ing. She will be symptom-free to
morrow—is so now, but she wanted
to,be sure to take treatment enough.
Weighs 206.
The treatment was the same—in
fra-red rays, 26-mlnute sittings each
day. I gave her no medicines. She
walks two and three mileß every day.
This article is to emphasize careful.
Intelligent diagnosis, and common
sense in treatment. It may warn
women approaching the 50-year
mark to be careful not to over-work
the delicate structures that line the
joints.
THE NEW YEAR
Greetings to all! Adieu to 1931.
You and I, dear reader, have marked
another milepost on our trip. With
the increase in speed they seem to
show up much faster —thes e mile
posts. And yet, there are precisely
as % many hours in this year aa thcr«-
were in the year of our Lord, num
ber one. It's just busier that we
are, that's all. So busy we don't
notice the passing of time.
Every department of science has
made strides during the past year;
medicine has progressed too. I
think I can break up a cold now
much quicker than I have ever done
before. Just put my patient to bed
for ONE DAY, and give him a tablet
every hour until prespiration starts
freely. That's all there is to it. And,
he might get well as fast with a
tumblerful of hot water every hour,
instead of the sweating tablet. But
then, the patient wouldn't feel like
he was being treated properly unless
he had a little medicine, now, would
he?
And I have learned to be skepti
cal about GERMS hammering down
the enamel of teeth—the hardest
substance in the human structure.
Necrosis of bone takes place when
nutrition Is cut off by violence,
plugged canals and other causes.
Chances are, germs have nothing
whatever to do with destruction of
the enamel of teeth. Let's be sensi
ble in the coming year. Your fam
ily doctor is able to tell you when
and how to fight germb.
My New Year resolves are em
bodied in the simple determination
to fit myself for BETTER SERVICE
in the taking care of my fellow-man
and myself during the coming year.
I will be alert for the right, as my
Master Kives me to see tha right.
God bless you all!

E. G. CLICK AND
WHERE BUSINESS IS TO BLAME
I was lunching with a group of
high executives, and the discussion
turned to economic problems. Pres
ently out cam e the usual line of
comment:
"Congress is a bunch of idiots.
How can we hope for any sensible
program when our laws are made
by such men?"
I was annoyed.
All my business life I have listened
to that sort of talk. I have known
a good many Senators and Congress
men. My judgment is that they are
fairly representative of the nation,
neither better nor worse than the
rest of us. They do not originate
very much in the matter of national
policy and legislation. They merely
record in laws the sentiment that
grows up in the country around
them. They respond to public
opinion.
And what does Big Business do to
create and guide an Intelligent pub
lic opinion? Practically nothing.
Every young man who enters Big
Business is told in effect: "Now
you have taken the veil. From now
ton you must not express any opinion
on a controversial subject. You are
no longer merely an individual: you
are the representative of a large
body of stockholders who hold di
vergent views on almost everything.
iYou must not offend either our
stockholders or our customers. Your
duty is to work, and keep your
mouth shut,"
Big bankers and corporation of
ficials regard this a policy of "dig
nified silenco." As a matter of fact,
It is laziness and cowardice.
My father was a distinguished
clergyman, the spokesman of a large
We Begin Our 32nd
Year of Service to You
The beginning of the New Year marks the passing of our
32nd milestone of service to Elkin and the people of this
vicinity. Throughout the past 31 years we have endeavored
to give a furniture store that was second to none; to give
quality and value of the highest at the lowest possible prices,
and above all things to give friendly, courteous service.
•As we enter upon our 32nd year we pledge ourselves to give
even better service than in the past and to do all in our power
to deserve our reputation of being Elkm's leading Furniture

To the thousands of our patrons and customers we extend
•x our thanks for the patronage given us during 1981 and wish
1 for all a most happy and prosperous 1932.

congregation. He never hesitated to
have views or to give them vigorous
expression. Sometimes parishioners
criticized him. He said to me once:
"If I do not know better than the
members of my congregation what
sort of preaching my people should
have, then I am not entitled to bi |
their pastor."
The president of a corporation
with world-wide interests ought to
l;uuw more than his stockholders or
his customers.
He ought to know whether our
present tariff policy is a help or a
hindrance to our economic life, and
have the courage to say so.
He ought to know whether our
war debts should or should not be
revised, and guide his stockholders
in their thinking.
He ought to know what our policy
should be toward Russia.
Ours is a democracy. For a gen
eration or more we have been luring
our beßt brains into business.
The time is coming when those
best brains must render some more
positive service in the formation of
a sound public opinion.
It is not enough just to sit back
and grumble about Congress.
