'The First Step
Toward a Cure is to
Know What the
isease is
By Phil Blakney
Research scientists have
now perfected some chemi
cal re-agents that enable
physicians to make a posi
tive diagnoisis of certain dis
eases. Often the cause of a
sickness still has to be de
termined by skillfully elim
inating what it cannot be.
Sometimes more than one'
visit is necessary to accom
plish this.
To impatiently rush from
one physician to another is
unwise. You can usually
get well much more quickly
if after choosing your phy
sician, you give him. the
necessary time to find out
what is wrong, so that he
cn help you most.

It comes as no surprise to us
(or to their owners) that the big,
brilliant Mercury 57 is the solid
sales leader in its field against all
competition here in the West.
Mercury's distinctive styling
is one answer. Smart, functional ;
it belongs to Mercury alone.Then
there's size. The Big M, this year,
is measurably larger than com
petition inside and out. This,
combined with Mercury's exclu
sive Floating Ride, means riding
comfort and luxury you will find
in no other car at the price.
Westerners also appreciate
Mercury's full choice of great
new engines, its superior perform
ance, and its many exclusive fea
turessuch as Keyboard Control
'-effortless driving on the freeways
or in city traffic.
All this adds up to greater
value which you will discover
when you make your comparison
of our '57 Mercury with its com
petition. See, test-drive, and price
this great car no w while wc are still
able to make high trade-in deals.
