200 Attend Banquet For
Head of State Medi-
ijk • cal Society _
More than 200 persons including city
and county officials from all Cameron
county towns attending the dinner giv-
en Saturday night by the Cameron
Cotfhty Medical Society in honorof Dr.
C M. Rosser of Dallas president of
the Texas Medical Association.
Dr. Rosser has been spending sev-
eral days in South Texas visiting the
vaiious medical societies. Thursday he
spoke it Corpus Christi Friday at Har-
lingen and McAllen concluding his visit
to thtft section with the meeting hqre
last night. He goes from here to Fal-
estine in East Texas and thence across
the northern part of the state to
Gainesville and Amarillo.
Dr. Malone Duggan of La Feria presi-
dent of the Cameron county society was
toastmaster at the dinner last night.
Other speakers besides Dr. Rosser were
County Attorney Harry L. Faulk and
Representative Polk Hornaday of Har-
lingen.
“The Word finedicine’ confuses many
good people” Dr. Rosser said. “They
have been told that the practice of medi-
cine means prescribing drugs pills and
powders. Such is not the case at all.
The practice of medicine means the
healing art. Ybir doctor may put you
on a diet for your health. That’s prac-
ticing medicine. He may tell you to
go to the mountains. That’s^ practicing
medicine. He may advise you to smoke
less or drink less coffee. That’s prac-
ticing medicine. He may give electrical
treatments. That’s practicing medicine.
He may remove the cause of your trou-
ble with the knife. That’s practicing
medicine. He may adjust a broken
bone. Tliat’s practicing medicine. He
may manipulate your spine. That’s
practicing medicine. The point is your
doctor must be educated in the body
and disease before he can be risked
with the' ^eeponsiiiility of the health of
a sick person.
“The practice of the healing art is
regulated in Texas by a law known as
the Medical Practice Act. It was passed
in 1907 superceding older laws which
made It too easy for the public to be
quacked. The‘ present law was amend-
ed in 1923 so as to make it easier to en-
force. f
“This law in effect provides that
the you.th who wants to make the heal-
ing art his life work shall graduate
from an accredited high school then
take two years in a first class college
then take a four year course of at least
eight months to the year in a reputable
school and graduate followed by one
“When he graduates he presents his
diploma to the Stiite Board of Medical
Examinees?; is a part of
our state government the board being
authorized by law and its members be-
ing appointed by the governor. On it
are regular doctors eclectics physio-
medics homeopaths and ostepaths.
These systems of practice are the only
ones which have raised their colleges to
the standard set' up by your state.
There is nothing to prevent representa-
tives of other methods of serving the
sick from also being appointed on the
'examining board except their failure to
comply with the law.-
“Examinations are conducted upon 12
fundamentals. One of them is anatomy
which is the study of the parts of the
body such as the heart the lungs the
stomach the liver the eye etc. Your doc-
tor like the auto. jnechanic must know
the parts of the machine upon which he
works else he can’% repair them. There
is no such thing a3 ‘medical’ anatomy
or anatomy from any standpoint. Anat-
omy is a fundamental science because
our bodies are practically the same from
generation to generation.
“Physiology is the study of how the
parts of your body work—how the or-
gans function. Digestion of this fine
dinner is an example. There is no such
thing aB ‘medical physiology or physi-
ology from any standpoint other than
the human standpoint.. Physiology is a
fundamental science because anatomy
is.
“Pathology is anatomy and! physiol-
ogy gone wrong. An ulcer in your stom-
ach i*. an example. There is no such
thing as ‘medical’ pathology or path-
ology from any standpoint except from
the standpoint of disease. Human path-
ology must be known to your doctor
else he can’t overcome your trouble.
Mast Recognize the Signs.
Diagnosis is the analysis of your
symptoms. Your doctor must know how

The drill information and education
I received in BUSINESS COLLEGE I
count as having the greatest practical
value of any I ever received.—“Hon.
L. J. Gage Ex-Treasurer U. S.”
Four night students and one day stu-
dent enrolled last week. There should
be many more this‘week. Start Busi-
ness College training NOW' and be pre-
pared for position next fall.
Business wants young men and women
—thousands of them. It offers every
comfort and convenience. Business doe?
not require long apprenticeship at small
pay. Oh the contrary business offers
you a ronning start good position and
income right from thp beginning. But
you must know business ipgthpds busi-
ness methods business terms“and cus-
toms. Enroll now for this training.
Our function is to help young people
get started in right road tb success. Do

to read the signs interpret your symp-
toms^ find out what really ails you. If
your doctor isn’t educated to diagnose
your case—read the fact?—how can he
know whether his treatments will Icill
or cure you ?
“Bacteriology is the study of germs
and microbes. They cause many many
diseases. Bad colds flu diphtheria
pneumonia typhoid lock-jaw tubercu-
losis veneral diseases and spinal men-
ingitis are examples. The outbreak of
small pox in a few cases in your neigh-
boring city was due to a germ—not
to a slip in the backbone.
"Cynecology is the science of the dis-
eases peculiar to the female sex. Wom-
en have a different aijatomy from men
in certain respects. There is no such
thing as ‘medical’ gynecology or gyne-
cology from any standpoint except the
human standpoint.
“Obstetrics has to do with mother-
hood andokildbirth. There is no such
thing as ‘irtedicai’ obstetrics or obstet-
rics from any standpoint except the hu-
man standpoint.
Surgery Not Medical.
“Surgery may be called human car-
pentry. Removing an appendix is sur-
gery. Setting a broken bone or replac-
ing a dislocated bone is surgery. There
is no such thing as ‘medical’ surgery.
Your doctor must know human' surgery
else he can’t help you when surgery is
the best treatment.
“Histology is anatomy under the* mi-
croscope. The body is composed of
millions of tiny cells which are too
small .to be seen with the naked eye.
There i§ no such thing as ‘medical’ his-
tology.
*• Digestion is a chemical process.
Diseases cause chemical changes in the
body and in the blood. Poisons pro-
duce chemical reactions in the system.
There is no such thing as ‘medical’
chemistry.
Hygiene is the science of keeping
you well. Cleanliness sanitation pure
food good water and healthful sur-
roundings are absolutely essential.
There is no such thing as ‘medical’
hygiene.
“Medical jurisprudence is the law re-
garding you and your doctor’s rela-
tion. Injured persons have legal rights
to collect damages. The insane have
legal rights protected by law. Your
doctor should know medical jurispru-
dence in order to look after your rights
when you are injured unconscious and
helpless.
No Examination on Treatment.
"The examining board does net ask
any question about treatment. You can-
not standardize treatment because if
you do you thereby shut off progress.
“Applicants for a license to prac-
tice draw numbers when they go before
the examining board. Hence their iden-
tity is concealed until after the papers
are graded and the results announced.
“The medical practice act applies to
all practitioners alike. It is for the
protection of the people against quack-
ery. A high standard for Rome kinds of
doctors and a lower one for others
would discriminate in favor of ignor-
ance.
"Trained and capable doctors make
mistakes at times. How much more then
should ignorance be) guarded against.
Demand that your doctor obey the de-
mands of your country. If he prefers to
use a drugless system he certainly
ought to educate himself in the funda-
mentals first. When he gets a license
to practice he can practice any method
he chooses. There must be the same
standard the same law. the same board
for all who do the same thing—deal
with the health of the sick.”

FOR PRODUCT
‘Pride of the Valley'
to be Used on Po-
tato Shipments
“The Pride of the Valley” was the
slogan adopted by the Rio Grande Val-
}ey Potato Growers’ association for
its products at a meeting of the
association here Saturday afternoon.
The meeting was held in the office
of C. C. Wentz one of the directors
in the State National Bank building
with Fred Rosenkoetter of Los Fresnos
president of the association in charge
of the directors’ meeting.
This slogan which was submitted by
W. S. Evans of Villanueva was chosen
from a list of 50 which were received
by the directors. The slogan was chos-
en after a careful consideration of all
that were turned in.
The directors discussed the work of
the association modified some of the
terms of the association concerning
agreements with dealers etc. tnd took
up other matters such jis the tags and
labels which will be placed on the po-
tatoes shipped out by the association
and other details.
Preparations were made for the hand-
ling of the crop this year which is ex-
pected to be larger than thnt of last
year due to the larger acreage prin-
cipally in Los Fresnos the El Jardin-•—«?-* .—-
acreage being about the same as last
year.
In addition to Mr. Rosenkoetter Ran-
dall Mathers W. A. Miller W. B. Pal-
mer and C. C. Wentz all directors were
present as was Paul R. Dye secretary
of the association. Fred Rusteberg was
the only director not present.
PETER KYNE STORY
ON QUEEN SCREEN
“Never the Twain Shall Meet" Peter
B. Kvne’s enchanting story of the South
Sea Islands will be shown at the Queen
Theater for two day? beginning today.
This picture a Cosmopolitan produc-
tion directed by the celebrated French
director Maurice Tourneur was pic-
turized in Tahiti and Moorea two of
the famous islands of the South Sea
group. The cast includes such promi-
nent players as Anita Stewart Bert Ly-
tell Huntly Gordon Jutine Johntone
George Siegmann Lionel Beltmore
William Norris Emily Fritzrov Prin-
cess Marie de Bourbon and Florence
Turner.
In the role of Tamea the half-caste
Island pricess Anita Stewart appears
in a characterization thoroughly suited
to her enchanting personality—a por-
trayal which calls for many phases of
dramatic intensity varied with comedy
situations. Bert Lytell plays opposite
Miss Stewart in the role of Dan Pritch-
ard.
The production is lavish in the ex-
treme and as the picture develops on
the screen there is a breadth and free-
dom a tropical magic and a pictorial
panorama of loveliness never before
visualized with a moving picture cam-
era..
