A gentleman came in the office wearing a copper bracelet and immediately I began motioning for the doctor to look at the bracelet. The medical school professors had actually made patients remove the copper,,after lecturing them about their being ineffective,,no science etc. I wanted the doctor to make him take off he silly bracelet. Still nothing was said but as the patient started to leave I stepped forward and asked if he wasn't going to say something about the bracelet. He looked at it for a moment and then asked the patient what it was for. "It's for my rheumatism." "Does it help?" "Oh,,yes sir it shore does." "Then don't you let anybody tell you to take it off." Better than any lesson I had received atr the Medical center.

He looked at it for a moment and then asked the patient what it was for.

“It’s for my rheumatism.”

“Does it help?”

“Oh,,yes sir it shore does.”

“Then don’t you let anybody tell you to take it off.”
