"He That Is Taught Only By Himself Has A Fool For A Master." •(Authors name below) Many people, who have never spent a day in a medical university, foolishly believe that they can advise their friends how to treat an illness. They mean well, but can cause serious harm. The proper diagnosis of a disease is an art that a Physician acquires only after years of study and internship training in a hospital. It is more important to treat the cause of an illness than to just relieve discomfort, which is usually the most any self treatment accomplishes. When you are sick be guided by your Physician.

How we keep your electric bill down (while everything else goes up) •J Although the cost of living has doubled, electricity today actually costs you less per kilowatt-hour than it did 25 years ago. Commonwealth Edison helps keep your electricity bill down in many ways. Bills sent every two months reduce costs of bookkeeping, meter reading and postage. These and other important "little savings" add up to lower cost electricity. So today, while you use more electricity, you get more for your money (almost twice as much, in fact). v PUBLIC tr.>.OK 11': SERVICE
