;lcS?ft O^JOHN JOSEPH 6A1NES, M-D-flT I ENDORSE IT Here’s a. letter from a brother physician,—with a few of the strongest words deleted. It may be of interest: Dear Dr. Gaines: “I wish you would devote more articles to the exposure of quack ery. The every-day people of our country little realize the thievery that is going on under their very noses. The radio is reeking with the vile preachment of the medi cal racketeer. Millions of dollars— yes, hundreds of millions are wheeled out of American pockets that are least able to afford it. The game goes on without inter ference on part of authorities, therefore it would seem, within the law. “The medical racketeer invents some trivial, imaginary disease or condition, to which any ordinary working man or woman might be subject—and for which the rack eteer, of course, has the sole rem edy. This (faked) condition is din ned into the ears of millions of listeners, until they grow suspici ous of themselves—they are quick to detect signs of the “affliction.” They have been told that it might lead to horrible death—but, easily enough “cured” if they secured a bottle of the nostrum and use it the rest of their lives. “Multiplied millions of people rush to buy the racketeer’s gully wash. The profits are enormous— for, the operator of the hoax does not work for ordinary wages. Huge fortunes are piled up for the rack eteer and his folks. “Rube Smithers needs somebody to set him right; he needs a pro tector—an advisor who tells him the truth. Fat radio contracts are never turned down—they pay too well. It is poor Rube that Pays. Now, doctor, get busy.” Fraternally_M. D.

The funds are placed in the county treasury and are paid out on order of the welfare superin tendent of relief director when countersigned by the county audi tor.
