Fees of Doctors.

The fee of doctors is an item that vers
many persons are interested in just at pres
ent. We believe the schedule for visits IS
~ 90. which would tax a man confined to
his bed for a year, and in need OF daliy
visit, over 81 900 a year for medical attend
ance alone, And one single bottle OF Hop
Bitters taken in time would save the 81 200
