The family physician
(general practitioner) is as
American as Old Glory and
you can be assured that he is
not fading away. The family
physician will always be
needed, and will in fact serve
most of your family’s
medical needs.
The general practitioner
will continue to cure your
aches and pains, and when
necessary he will prefer you
to a specialist. The specialist
is highly trained in one
particular phase of medicine,
and it is up to the general
practitioner to decide when
the services of a specialist
are required. Many bright
young men enter the field of
general practice every year
and the family physician is
here to stay.
Also here to stay is our
pharmacy. This community
is our home and we wish to
serve all of its citizens in a
responsible manner. Your
prescriptions are filled accu
rately and swiftly by our
competent pharmacists.
