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- ...... 11 JLy fl JH I I M wl' I DR. WM. M. BAIRD, Brown - Randolph Building. 56 Marietta Street. Atlanta. Ga. 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 t-0 """ • BE AN OPTIMIST '' In climbing a precipice it is better to look up than to look down Seeing, as we do in this office, hundreds of cases every month who have run the gauntlet of all sorts of treatment and S "cures," it is no wonder that we feel that pessimism is a fatal w mistake. Day after day we see patients improve who have S been given up by others and who have become more than dis -3 couraged. But at the same tune optimism must be backed up $ ova scientific knowledge of the case. False hopes must not be I held out but a proper understanding of the case will allow of a proper presentation of the truth to the patient. Yours for truth with hopefulness thrown in for good measure, i p g. If you wish I will send you my booklets. Diseases of i Men and Health Essays, sealed, and free of charge THOSE CONGRESSMEN ARE SURESOME FANS WASHINGTON, May 11.—The ser geant-at-arms of the house of repre sentatives raided the American league ball park and corralled enough mem ber* to complete a quorum. ment after disappoint ment. If the doctor fails to make a diagnosis, he puts it down as a func tional disturbance, or records the patient as a mere hypochondriac. If the patient takes this as 'gospel truth" he is doomed to future misery. If he doubts and eventually con s u Its someone who knows more about such cases and gets a cure, why, the doctor puts it down as chance. But there is another class of chronic cases which are often set aside as incurable but which might be much benefited by careful attention. I have reference to certain organic affec tions, such as valvular heart troubles, aneu risims, organic diseases of various vital organs in which no physician would be justified in Back Numbers of the Puzzle Pic tures Will Place You in Line for $16,000 in Cash and Prizes Enter The Georgian’s Proverb Contest Now If you are already a Proverb puzzle solver in The Atlanta Georgian s fasci nating Proverb Contest, be a proverb missionary, too.
