The Great Evil of the Medical Profession "WWE are at a loss,” admits an article discovered by the Chicago Trib- gue in a medical journal, “to account for this peculiar complexus of symp- toms, a condition evidently chronic as revealed by the history of the last three years, with yaws and suppurating otitis as predecessors, yet with acute exacer- hations, a condition not clearly ex- plained on the basis of an organic lesion of any one organ, yet showing cardiac enlargement, albuminuria, and qylindruria, general adenopathy, icte- rus, with a secondary anemia not re- markable for the great reduction in red corpuscles or hemoglobin, but striking- ly atypical in the large number of nucleated red corpuscles of the normo- blastic type and in the tendency of the erythrocytes to assume a slender, sickle- like shape.” This is very interesting. The aver- age doctor, after examining the case cited above, would nod his head sagely, take the patient’s temperature, examine his tongue with deep interest, advise complete rest and a change of diet, and prescribe one yellow pill every three hours and a nasty-tasting liquid three times a day. He wouldn't know what was troubling the patient; but he wouldn't be willing to admit it. There- in lies the great evil of the medical profession. That's why treatments for various ailments vary so widely from year to year. If doctors who don't know would only say so, sick men would not only save a lot of money, but they would either get well quicker or die happier. When Steel meets Stee! Rub two highly polished bars of finest steel together. Without oil or with an inferior oil you will get friction. With a quality oil at the places of contact, you could rub till doomsday, but the bars would never wear out. The oil spreads a film between the places of contact and keeps the metal separated. Poor oil will break down and give friction its deadly chance. This is why you should see to it that the lubricating oil in your motor is a quality oil, why you should use HAVOLINE OIL REO. U.S. PAT. OFF, “It makes a difference” Your motor, bearings, and cylinder must be protected by oil that does not break—no matter what the weather or speed at which you drive, no matter how hot the engine becomes. You can depend upon Havoline. There is no practical way to test motor oil unless you use it in your automobile. No “free sample” will prove anything, except to the expert analytical chemist. But if the experience of a vast majority of the better class of car owners all over the country is worth anything, you can empty your crank-case today, clean it out with kerosene, buy a can of Havoline, fill up your motor, and start her running. You'll be surprised at the new lease of life your good old car will take, running on Havoline. You may find it necessary to drive your present car next year, and the year after that. The oil you use is important to the life of your car, whether you continue to drive it yourself or want a good price for it when you sell it or trade it in. Havoline Oil comes in sealed containers, your guarantee of uniform quality. Fudian Refining Company s7s5e7" New York Incorporated PETES J. CAREY, PRINTER comicbooks.com
