And it cost nothing but a pleasant half hour of ehat with the editor. On the other hand, is the merchant who sells commodities rather than service. Frocks from Paris, like surgeons who study in Vienna, have ! a very human appeal. The merchant, bowever, takes his space in the newspaper and pays for it. He has purchased the right to say whatever is true of the new frocks and may illustrate them with alluring pictures with special appeal to women. Most people, men or women, are more concerned with their exterior$, than their interiors. The latter are hermetically sealed and concealed as it were, to all except an expert. surgeon, while exteriors are all too epparent. Clothes are made to reveal perfections or condeal. imperrections, as the needs of human vanily dictate. Only the nudists have become utterly frank, and from the point of view of advertising profit, except for sun lotions, they register blank. But for those who serve human interiors as well as exteriors advertising is their sina qua non, whether. paid for or not. Both must and do have it. We refuse to criticize the professional man whose ethics forbid his advertising and paying for it. If he is too dignified to advertise we are too dignified to make a pother about it. But we have already pointed out that he does advertise and we admire him for doing so. The man who has more than usual success in healing human’ ills, will have more clients, because his grateful patients will, by word of mouth, advertise tim, even if a churlish editor should refuse to chronicle his victories over death. Sometimes we do venture this opinion, that any physician who at-tains to eminence in his community, through word of mouth advertising, could probably greatly enlarge his sphere of human service if only the ethics of his profession permitted him to spread the word abroad by newspaper advertising. The fact that raountebands and quacks use paid advertising in lieu of personal training und ability to build a practice, usualfy ephemeral, is beside the _ point.
