THE CALVI-FREEMAN VISIT

The reputation of Mr Calvi-Free-man, who is shortly visiting this town, has preceded him, and, since this is his only professional visit to Paeroa before leaving for Australia, there is every prospect of his consulting rooms being crowded with' patients when he arrives here on October 12. Drugless heajing is rapidly replacing the old order of dosing with medicines, and . even the most conservative of medical practitioners recognise that in skilled hands the treatment brings about cures that a few years back would have been hailed with scepticism. Mr Calvi-Free-man has ma,ny friends amongst the ranks of -medical men, and although his treatment differs wholly from their’s, many of New Zealand’s leading practitioners wish he were officially recognised as a healer by the British Medical Association, so that they might publicly proclaim his powers where they can only do so now in private conversation. It is certain that many operations now performed in the various hospitals; of the Dominion would never have been necessary had Mr Calvi-Freeman’s treatment been resorted to. In fa.ct, it is Mr Calvi-Freeman’s contention .that -most operations are unnecessary even in 'extreme cases, but cannot make this a definite statement till he has personally investigated each case individually.
