BENNAIIEAFRINENTSNNNNREAREARNNADINGNE New Year's Greetings Why not start the New Year by paying that long overdue bill you owe your doctor? And by so doing make it possible for him, in turn, to meet his own obligations? You have confidence in his judgment; you acknowledge his skill; there are times when his services are indispensable. You trust him as you trust no one else, with your very life itself and with the lives of those most dear to you at times when suf- fering and anxiety have warped your own judgment and left you helpless. Yet are you sure you have given him any substantial reason for believing he can trust you? From the first great moment of birth to that last tragic hour when death closes the scene you depend upon him, and often on him alone for aid, sympathy, understand- ing. Why not make a new resolve to remember what you owe him, along with your indebtedness to others who are, perhaps, more insistent in their demands?
