TEN CASES OF DIPHTHERIA.
This Number Was Reported to the
Health Office Yesterday.

The total number OF cases of diphtheria
reported to the health office for the twenty
four hours ending at 4o'ciock p. m. yester-
day was ten. Two recoveries We're noted.
and several houses previously reported were
removed from Quara ntine.
A pathetic incident of the diphtheria
situation was told at police headquarters
last evening. Officer James Fitzgerald,
of the Sixth precinct, whose house has
been for several weeks In quarantine on
account of the illness of his child. was out
for the first time yesterday and came to
headquarters for his pay for November.
He related to his brother officers that at
one time the child's condition was such
that no one supposed it could live. So
certain were the parents that they would
lose the little one that they sorrowfully
prepared its burial clothes.
The physician, DR.. hewitt, made one final
effort, however, and to the grateful sur
prise of the pare nts, the case took sud
den turn for the better, and the child ulti
mately recovered. The delighted father
received the congratulations of his associ.
ates over the happy termination.

MR. ODELL's SON
CURED OF DEAFNESS.

Caryl II. Odel1, 215 9th st. sw.,
seven years old. His father says: "Caryl's
deafness began with terrible earache-
We took him to number of doctors, but
they could give him no relief. They advised
US to take him to a specialist and We de-
cided on Doctor Mccoy. His earache left
him so deaf that he could scarcely hear
anything. We had to holler at him in
order to make him understand. Doctor
Mccoy has completely restored his hear
ing. he can understand US when We speak
TO him in ordinary tones, and can hear a
watch tick.
We are very grateful to Doctor Nc
Coy for restoring the hearing OF our boy ,and
I shall be glad to have anyone call on
me at my place OF business-wholesale COM
mission merchant, 1 tn street twharf-where

PURPOSE and LIMIT
q = OF The s3 Rate
Its Absolute Conclusion with the Closing Month Of the Year.
Or. Mccoy Takes Unusual Pains to Prevent Misunder-
standing and to Avoid Criticism on the Ground Of Par.
tiaIily After January

With this closing month of the year ends,
according to the announcement, this re-
markable opportunity. 1t is reasonable
to suppose that by this time the terms
under which this opportunity is TO be Sc
cured and enjoyed have been made clear
to all. The greatest pains have been taken
to guard against the possibility of misun-
derstanding. Not only has the wording
been clear and explicit as to the duration
of the opportunity, but the clear and ex-
plicit wording has been given the empha-
sis of rapid published repetition to make
misunderstanding or confusion impossible.
The purpose OF the So rate has beenmade
clear. 1t was adopted because DR.. NcCoJ
found that many who had visited his Of
rices felt that they could not afford the
money necessary for the treatment; that
many also had been kept away because OF
the general knowledge that DR.. McCoy-s
fees are high, necessarily made so by the
great demands upon his time and skill. 1t
had been DR.. McCoy's intention, in estah-
iishng a permanent national practice in
Washington, to give everybody an oppor-
tunity to obtain the benefits of his treat
ment, which had thrilled the country by
ITS triumph over deafness and other deer-
seated aIIcctlOnS OF tne ear, tue tnTOdt,
the lungs, the bronchial tubes, by its won
derful triumph over some of those scDurges
OF humanity falsely called incurable mall
aides. While he could not reduce his fees
would not do SO. in fact-for specified
time lie abolished his fees altogether, giving
his services free and charging only for the
medicines used, making the uniform rate
or SO a month to all.
II then became absolutely imI ossiblc to
care for the thTonging crowd of people who
sought to take advantage of theoppOrtunity
within the time limit set. DIR. Mccoy,
therefore, frankly extended the rate, max
ing the extension a generous and ample
one, covering the last two months of the
year.
With this extension there has teon re-
peated emphasis given to the lnit. Dr.
Mccoy desires avoid criticism after the
list of January, and those patients who
come after that date and pay $40 n. onth
viii have nc ground for Complaint that
they have not Eeen abundantly Io.ificd
that the OPT ortunity Of the So rate is
solely limited TO those beginning treat
ment before January l. ~
