Show A HIGH TRIBUTE In Chicago a few days ago a great London surgeon said: "The old family doctor, rising at all hours of the night to minister to the sick, traveling into the highways and byways with little thought of his fee, curing small ills and alleviating great suffering, still bear' the brunt of the battle against disease and death. No matter how much success we may attain, as surgeons and specialists we must bow to the old family doctor when it comes to skill and sacrifice combined." And to that every citizens will rise up and say 'Amen." We know he is fast passing. Specialists are coming to take his place, and the auto brings the specialists to our door when illness comes or any organ of our body refuses to function as it should. But we shall never lose sight of the old family doctor. We shall always remember that it was his skill and his sacrifices alone that are responsible for the great advance in medical skill we know today. There can't be any tribute too great paid him; there can't be a monument built too high in perpetuation of his memory. |
