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." Among j
f Jackson county doctors who at-,

Avoid Chronic Maladies by Physical Test,
Advice Doctor Coffey to Those Over 40;

SAN DIEGO, CaL, May 16. 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.
Draws Parallel,
In advocating regular examina
tions. 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:

Not only is the normal woman
stronger after the experience of

ALL By sprays will kill flies. But manufac
jTi turers have evidently given, little thought
. to the damage their products might cause to
curtains and walls. Old-style sprays spotted
yor walls, sometimes for days.
Used properly, this new spray from Shell 1
laboratories evaporates completely every tracs
s ' of spotting disappears 1 You can use it freely,
- safely all over the .house, , .
And the clumsy old sprayer with its round
tank messy, wasteful and troublesome to fill
the new Shell Sprayer changes that, Ycu just
. screw a can of Shell Fly Spray
right onto the Sprayer, Dis
card the emptied can when the
spray is all used and screw on
another full can.
Shell Fly Spray and Shell
Sprayers are in your stores or
at Shell stations now. Get one
today.
Yes sir! When absolute dependability is necessary . , . when
exceptionally hard roads must be traveled , . . when speed
is essential . . , GOODYEAR DOUBLE EAGLES are the
tires to absolutely depend upon.
The All-Weathers and Pathfinders offer the same superior
dependability In their classes . . , The Goodyear Guarantee
make them mighty inexpensive , , . and the first costs are
surprisingly Idw,
Goodyear, leading the field by more tires than ever before,
is able to give you the finest quality for the same money or
less than you pay elsewhere for commonplace quality.
