The Family Doctor.

What an admirable institution was the good old family doctor! He understood not only the health but the habits and the characters of ev­eryone in the community. He in­troduced every member of your fam­ily into the world. He was rather liberal of his drugs—excessively so, as it seems today; but he was even more liberal of his advice and in­struction. When you had a disease he knew the origin of it; what wa: far more important, lie knew your temperature and constitution, just

' what treatment would suit you and how you would react to it. And he was often much more than a mere physician; he was an intimate con-fossor and counselor who diagnosed (roubles of the soul with sMll and landerness, and who in helping them helped the body also.

Now the family doctor is disap­pearing, nocessarily. The immense lange of modern medicine must split it into specialties, and the ipecinlty. requires the specialist, in­to whose hands we daily fall more and more. The system has its un­questionable advantages. The spec­ialist understands his particular or­gan and its diseases and cures as no general practitioner can. If we have a tangible, definite malady, he can

s often relieve us with an ease and a permanence that in the old days were impossible.

But there are drawbacks. You have a vague complaint. The local doctor thinks the trouble may be this or this or this. You had better see a Specialist. You do—after waiting some hours in a crowded office when you do not feel like waiting anywhere. The specialist

-lifts his-eyebrows at the local doc-* tor's suggestions, but is not much

more definite himself. You had bet­ter be X-rayed all over. You had better have some teeth extracted; it never does any harm. You had bet­ter do other things. Perhaps you had better • see another specialist. And the bill is large, and the benefit ma^ be.

Jo it goes. The specialist is nec­essary to us and gives us priceless help. We cannot get along without

\ him; but he is always in a hurry, and the worst of it is that to him,

- • in such a host of cases, every patient ; is a patient, rarely an individual, or

even a human being. If you are still. ! fortunate enough to have an old

family doctor, stick to him. He will call the specialist, if he needs him, andJ ne can give you what the spec­ialist cannot.

T. H. Knotts, of Des Moines, has called attention to the authorities at Washington, through Congressman Dowell, of the capture of his brother by Villa's bandits while on a journey through northern Mexico to inspect a mine. Two other Americans were seized. They were held for $20,000 ransom under threat of death. Af­ter twenty-five days' captivity, with great difficulty, the money was paid Villa and the release of Mr. Knotts obtained. American secret service men and officials knew of facts and gave help in getting the money de­livered. Claim for the amount of the ransom and damages besides have been filed with the proper au­thorities and when the day of reck­oning with Mexico rolls around the matter will be adjusted, no doubt.
