Know Yoar Doctor Even when there is no illness, the doctor is the person to tur^ to when trouble, physical or mental, suggests need of a counselor. If you think that out, you'll realize that, because your doctor has assisted in some catastrophic event in your life, you have learned to depend on him. His knowledge, his skill and in many instances, his tenderness and sympathy have pulled you or some loved one through an ordeal that was momentous in your life. There are few homes that have not been touched by tragedy-- death does not play politics--it favors no one. Birth is slightly different -- It sometimes shows partiality. Your doctor, in 'general, officiates at birth and at death. And all the time in between your doctor is there to help you, a health talk made public by the educational committee of the Illinois State Medical society pointed out. The actors portray their parts-- they make the play--but it is the person who condu<$3 or directs who brings out the color. In the drama of life, with you as the actor, it is your doctor who, from the sidelines, makes you real--a healty. person -- a strong person. He guards your emotions and controls them.

Four years of medical school, one year of Internship, one year of residency and frequently two and even three years of special training, nine to twelve years in all--go into the long* preparation for his career of medicine. And sandwiched in between his internship and hi8 residency are the arduous examinations set up by the state so that he may prove qualified to treat you and your family. The minimum years of study, without the extra training, costs $10,000. never been a law passed in the legislature that was not watched and fostered carefully if it benefitted you and your health needs. Your doctor has ever opposed movements of any kind when careful investigation disclosed them to be detrimental to mankind. In the little town, community or large metropolis, the doctor of medicine plays an important part in human activity. He is always there to guide and counsel. He will forget himself and his own fatigue to give you the attention you. seek. T nderstnnding your doctor, knowing him, appreciating him. will help him to know you.

It rides the road with majestic smoothness, and conies to a smooth and gentle halt, in response to the finest brakes Buick ever develqped.
