Is There a Doctor in the Houser RUBE GOLDBERG’S Startling Exposé What of the unsuhg husband who must bear alone the shock of the doctor's bill?) What of the poor woman whose doctors fell into a discussion of bridge hands and forgot to sew her up? “One of the discomforts of hospital life is being aroused at an early hour to undergo the usual washing,” says the foreign correspondent of the Journal of the American Medical Association. “The Middlesex Hospital has decided to abolish this evil and has introduced a new rule by which all patients are to be given breakfast not earlier than 7 A. M. and are not to be washed or disturbed before this hour,’ This direct action by a great hospital was taken just twenty-three days after the publication of Dr. Goldberg’s exposé of modern medicine. Many such burning questions are handled with- out antiseptic gloves in this book, which is destined to do more for public health than all medical ency- clopedias, even if laid end to end from here to the nearest hospital. You, too, have suffered. Perhaps you, too, need ether or exercise, and not even your dearest friend dares to tell you so. Think, furthermore, of the anesthetician’s smile of surprise when you answer him in French. Of course, the price of “Is There a Doctor in the House?” is high ($1.00 at all book- sellers). But it is much more expensive to risk the loss of your conversational prestige by being without a copy when the emergency arises. * This book may be purchased from your bookseller. If a bookstore is not convenient, mail your order ($1.00 per copy) to the publisher, adding 5 cents postage. Address THE JOHN DAY COMPANY, Dept. J 386 Fourth Ave., New York City ee ee comicbooks.com
