Strange to say, however, in the selection of a medical man, the sufferer fiequently omits these necessary precnutious and without regard so the fitness, qualification, experience and ability for fhe particular ailment requiring treatment, he consults the nearest man, whose experience and practice, perhaps, lies in quite an opposite direction.
