To no class is the development of the automobile of more importance than to physicians. How to reach their patients in the quickest, surest, easiest and cheapest manner is a practical problem to them.

This week we give the opinions1 of a large number of physicians who have had experience with the horseless vehicle. Our readers who were already in doubt whether or not to give up the
