FAMILY DOCTOR IS PRAISED BY NOTEDSURGEON Dr Wm. J. . Mayo Pays Tribute to General Prac titioner As Diagnostician Southern Oregon MedU cal Association Extended to Include Klamath, Lake, Coos and Curry. A tribute to the physician, as a general practitioner, was paid by Dr. William J. Mayo, of the fam ous Mayo Clinic at Rochester, Minnesota, when he delivered a talk before the S8th annual con vention of the Southern Oregon Medical aasociatlon held la Grants Pass yesterday. "I don't share the opinion of some eminent doctors," said the world famous surgeon, "that the general practitioner has outlived his usefulness. In the averago community the general- practition er holds a place no specialist can fill, his service In the home and at the bedside of the sick remains the foundation stone of medical prac tice. Hia value lies particularly In the line of diagnosis, and it la upon diagnosis the modern family doctor should concentrate. When his diagnostic work has been done and only then docs the specialist step In." : "General practice is also the best preparation tor tho specialist. Jlo thus acquires the proper foun dation and to his technical know ledge is added an understanding of human nature. I had an assistant in my clinic I still have him and hope always to keep him who after completing his examination of a patient gave him a card dl- recting him to go to the dental' tlonnrtniftnt and have his teeth OX- V amlned." ! "The patient passed his hand over his mouth, took out two full sets of false teeth and said, 'hero they are; "when can ,1 got thorn back?' ... ... . - ; ,;; ;: ' ' "For months our' men' meetlng this doctor, would pass their hands over their mouths. But ho had the right stuff In him. He lived It down, and ho never missed tho teeth after that. I merely cite that as an example of how the best expert may at times overlook an essential In elementary diugnosis. Thp experienced general practi tioner would not overlook the es sentials." Dr. Mayo devoted most of his address to an Interesting discus sion of the physical senses, their origin and evolution, particularly stressing tho 'importance of sight In modern medicine. Relating how Ills family had been In medtclno over !00 years, his children and his brother's children had also taken up the profession, he con cluded by declaring that tho medi cal profession is at its apex today, "Religion," ho said, "goes back 2000 years, the law must be a m generation behind, for Its founda T tion is In the precedent of the past, but medicine Is the profession of today, and its greatest era Is to morrow." I'recedtng Dr. Jtayo's address, Dr. II. C. Coffee of Portland gave a very Interesting talk on abdom inal operations, stressing particu larly the Increaso In appendicitis fatalities. He attributed this larga ly to disregard of certain elemen tary precautions and specially em phasised the necessity of never giving cathartics In abdominal dis orders where extreme pain is pres ent and the patient Is obviously very sick. He touched on gall bladder Infections, stomach ulcers, and laid down the general rule, that when there Is any doubt of the diagnosis, it Is better to do nothing, keep tho patient quiet and give plenty of water, allowing" Na ture to surmount the Immediate crisis. . Before adjournment the associa tion decided to invite Klamath, Lke, Coos and Curry counties to j Join Jackson, Josephine and Doug las in making the organisation a I "real medical association."

VP Medical science Jdoca not have as its goal a race of centenarians, but is vitally interested in assuring the average person a life span greater than the present average of 58 years, according to noted physic ians and s u rgeons a 1 1 end i n g the 58th annual gathering of the Cali fornia Medical association. To this end leaders in the med ical profession, successful in their battle against most of tho infec tious diseases and increasingly suc cessful in decreasing infant mor tality by teaching proper care of babies, are consolidating their gains , alone these llnea and turning to the jjroblrm offered by cancer, heart trouble and kidney disease. Much work 'already ha been done alons these lines, but Dr. Itob ert C' Coffey, noted surgeon and head of the Portland Surgical hos- luai, aavoeatoa regular imysHeitt examination of all persons over 4, as those who hae passed that mark are the principal victims of these chronic maladies. Dr, Cof fey termed the three classes of ail ments '"deseneratlve"" ma ladies be cause their progress causes the or gans they attack to break down While stating that there has been i an increase in the chronic maladies, Dr, Coffey expressed the belief that the increase is caused by the fact that more people reach the age of 40 now than before the average life span was increased.

Dr. Coffey pointed out that by these methods the symptoms of the maladies can bo detected and proper steps taken to combat the disease, lie draws this parallel: 'You wouldn't think of . driving i your automobile if it had a bad knock In the engine.

She suf fered a broken leg and it mended nicely. That indicates that matern ity does not adversely affect tho norma! woman." Not only is the normal woman stronger after the experience of childbirth, but after the convales cence comes the period in which she is more beautiful than she ever ws before. Dr. Burrows added.
