Large Fees and How to Get Them: A book for the private use of physicians

The title of this book says it all—for indeed it is a piece of work that is intended to guide physicians on how to make money through their practice. The author uses the following argument as to why this is an important point to prioritize for any physician: «The practitioner of medicine, like every man who relies on his own hand and brain for a livelihood, is entitled to a bit of earth that he and his may call their own, at least a modest competence, and a well-earned rest when his sun begins to set and the twilight of his life approaches. How many doctors are in a position to enjoy or even render less awesome their twilight days? As city doctors are all supposed to be rich—at least by the public, that does all it can to prevent their becoming so—it would be interesting to know what proportion of them, even in metropolitan medical centers, own their own homes or have property investments.»
