Andrews, director of the Ottawa Arthritis sanatorium and Diagnostic clinic, has developed revolutionary new concept in treatment of the disease and other rheumatic conditions. The new method, which Dr. An drews describes as "completely out-moding out-moding procedures generally followed fol-lowed by present-day doctors," is providing permanent relief for hun dreds of arthritis sufferers who once believed their cases to be hopeless, hope-less, he adds. Success of the new DR. ANDREWS procedure, he continues, lies in its ability to treat the body as a whole rather than merely the part affected affect-ed by the arthritic ailment,, Located in quiet, spacious surroundings sur-roundings in an industrial community commu-nity of central Illinois, the Ottawa sanatorium places main emphasis on a thorough, 48-point examination of the arthritis patient. Findings of the examination, which usually requires re-quires about six days, then are correlated cor-related to determine cause of the affliction. A complete report and prescribed treatment are forwarded to the patient's own doctor, to be carried out under his supervision when the patient returns home. Pointing out that arthritis never "heals itself," Dr. Andrews insists that succcess of any program to control the disease is based on adequate ade-quate diagnosis followed by treatment treat-ment of the entire body to return it to a normal condition. "There is no such thing as a hopeless case of arthritis," the specialist spe-cialist maintains.
