A nswer. - What some doctors
don't know, yet. about diathermy
fills many columns of some of the
half-baked medical journals. A
doctor who knows It Is diathermy
knows what It will do and knows

that the physician in question could
give your son the benefit nf this
modern treatment, for I hnvo no
such name nn my list. I happen
to know of a doctor here and there
