road corporation, the Valdosta, Fort

On March 14. 1912. the railroad com

Stock and $4,600,000 bonds for the Val
dosta. Fort Gaines and Montgomery

to be in bonds and SIO,OOO in stock.
Trustee To Pay In Parts.
Having negotiated the sale, the pro
moters o' the railroad asked permission
from the railroad commission to deliver
the entire issue and secure the cash.
The commission yesterday granted
the petition with the understanding
, that the cash is to be held by the trus
tee under the mortgage, the Standard
Trust Company of New York, In place
of the bonds, and to be paid out only
under the same terms as those under
| which the bonds were to be issued,
namely $20,000 per mile after the con
struction of each five miles of the line.
The transaction Is of interest, as It
speaks well for the standing of Georgia
corporations.

Valdosta to Moultrie, a distance of 42
miles, and work on the Test of the line
to Montgomery through Fort Gaines is

Roof Garden Services
i Daring Summer. Plan
Os Atlanta Baptists
Roof garden services, which will
continue throughout the summer, will
be started Sunday afternoon by the
Ponce DeLeon Avenue Baptist church
on the roof of the Sunday school build
ing.
The services will take the place of
the usual night services and will be
held from 5 to 6 o'clock in the after
noon.
The roof of the Sunday school build
ing has been specially constructed for
a roof garden and chairs and benches
placed there to accommodate the con
gregation. Awnings properly placed
will keep off the afternoon sun and
coolness of the location will allow the
members of the church an ideal situa
tion for divine services.
Last summer the plan of holding
services on Sunday nights out in front
of the church and on the front steps
met with much success and saved the
congregation from Inconvenience of a
crowded and heated auditorium. Rev.
Arthur Hale Gordon, pastor of the
church, believes that the new plan is
more feasible and that it will come
nearer than anything else to attract a
full attendance during the heated
months of the summer, when many
people remain away from Church In
order to be comfortable.

A Talk on Pessimism and
Its Effect on Health
and Happiness
CHRONIC diseases are notably difficult of diagnosis, so they
often go drifting from one doctor to another, trying first
one medicine after another by the advice of doctor or friend,
only to meet disappoint-

promising a cure, but
which can be benefited.
And under proper advice such patients may die of something
else and in the meantime enjoy good health.
Unfortunately these sufferers are often doomed through
the unfortunate pessimism of those they consult,
THE EVIL OF PESSIMISM.
Some years ago there was published a book on the prac
tice of medicine w'hich made the writer famous. He became,
and is, one of the most famous men in the profession. But I
honestly believe his work has done more injury to the medical
profession and to the people than all the patent medicines and
fake cures ever devised.
All through it ran the undertone of pessimism.
He treated the subject of organic heart disease superbly
from the scientific standpoint, but when he came to treatment,
a almcst, everything was dismissed as incurable. Treatment was
g of little account. It was this way with Bright's disease, organic
| diseases of the liver, nervous affections, etc.
A MAN WHO DIDN T DIE
This line of thought has been brought out by an old patient
| who called in today to let us know how well he was looking
fl and feeling. He came to us a wreck. He had. and has now,
H an organic nervous affection which is incurable, and yet he in
| sists he is as well as ever and is now able to work every day.
I something he had not been able to do for months.
j I believe that with proper care of himself he will outlive
I and enjoy better health than the majority of those of his age,
| and yet we have never promised him a cure, but have told him
I the exact truth.
His family physician told him when he came to me that I
■ would promise him a cure and then do nothing for him.
He knows different now.
i It was 35 years ago last month that I saw a patient first
who had a most serious valvular trouble of the heart. Six of
» the ablest physicians in That section insisted that she was
jr doomed and could only live a few months. Her brother-in-law,
M a most excellent physician, went to Europe, and when he bid
H me goodby he said she would not live until his return. He died
some 15 years ago and she died 2 years ago, about 70 years of
age. And she died of some other affection.
Some 30 years ago a young man of 25 years came into my
office. He was sent by his cousin (a physician) for an exami
nation The cousin had diagnosed the case right, but insisted
that the patient could not live but a short time. I, too, thought
his cnances doubtful but I msisted that it was our duty to do
our best. The physician, the patient 's cousin, has been dead for
rears while the patient sent me word last fall that he was in ex
cellent health.
Was he cured? Not at all. But he has enjoyed good
health for vears. and will probably live for many years yet.
BE AN OPTIMIST, I SAY.
I sometimes think pessimism is as bad as ignorance in a
doctor.
If I had any advice to give a young physician it would be

Seeing, as we do in this office, hundreds of cases every

w mistake. Day after day we see patients improve who have
S been given up by others and who have become more than dis
