Known All Over t
Dr. Richard C. Cabot, who Is head i
of the Maasnclnisotts General Hosplt- i
id, has been writing for the American (
Magazine, April and May, on the subject
of "Better Doctoring for Less Money."
He says that "A new era has come in
the practice of medicine, but most
people do not know it yet. We have
begun to emerge from that stage of i
medical work In which the doctor t
was a peddler selling goods from I
house to house. Into the more advanc- I
ed and sensible era In which the doctor
stays at his place of business, like
anyone else who has goods to sell,
and the people who want these goods
come to him. The shop where ho has ]
his goods to sell Is generally called <
a hospital and be has associated with
him there a body of men and women
similar to work people, foremen and
managers ot any industrial plant or
dry goods store. He has there some ;
beginnings o fa satisfactory division <
of labor and specialization of function, j
Therefore, he can give the public a
much better article for less money.
"The 'article' I refer to is sound
medical advice and treatment."
This Is Just what Dr. Pierce has
been doing at the Invalids' Hotel In
Buffalo Math Vnrk. Dr. V. M. Pierca
uuuntvi ~
has associated with him Dr. Lee H.
Smith, who It vice president and head
surgical director and operator, and
there are a dozen other physicians
and specialists, as well as four chemists,
and the poor and the very rich
get the hest medical attention. As
Dr. Cabot has properly said, "When
you go to a doctor's office you may
complain of nothing more abstruse
than a headache or a stomach-ache,
yet for the solution ot the problem
represented by your suffering there
may be needed an X-ray examination,
chemical teats such as very few experts
are capable ot making, the consultation
of experts in diseases ot the
u*. tha ear and the throat, and the

study of the improvement or aggravation
of symptoms at different times of
day and under different diets and temperatures.
This study demands tie
conditions found in just such a hospital,
and nowhere else to be had
without expenses." It is also true that
the "family doctor does tlie best that
he knows how, and considering the
difficulties under which he work's,
nakes a wonderfully good estimate of
lie nature of the patient's disease and
the treatment to be administered."
"But as an accurate diagnosis simply
cannot be made In a considerable
number of cases without the co-operation
of a number of men, each exjert
in his own field we ask the family
loctor to be Is an 'all-around' specialist.
This he attempts, but one cannot
truthfully Bay that he succeeds, for
the attempt is obviously an impossible
one. Medicine, is today far too
large and complicated a Held for nny
)ne man, no'matter how wise and experienced,
to cover."
We havo not the space to speak Individually
of the professional men

world-famed Institution, but will say
that among them are many whose long
connection with the Invalids' Hotel
and Surgical Institute has rendered
them experts hi their several specialties.
Advantage of Specialties.
By thorough organisation and subdividing
the practice of medicine and
surgery in this institution, every invalid
is treated by a specialist?one
who devotes his undivided attentlou
to the particular class of diseases to
which the case belongs. The advantage
of this arrangement is obvious.
Medical science covers a field so vast
that no physician can, within the limits
of a lifetime, achieve the highest
degree of success In the rreatment
of every malady incidental to human
