PURPOSE and Limit
OF THE s. Rate
Its Absolute Conclusion with the Closing Month of the Year.
Dr. Mccoy Takes Unusual Pains to Prevent Msunder-
standing and TO Avoid Criticism on the GrOund of Par.
TALLY 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
10 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 70 make
misunderstanding or confusion impossible.
The purpose OF the SO rate has beenmade
clear. Ii was adopted because DIR, Mccoy
found that many who had visited his Of
fices 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
lees are high, necessarily made so by the
great demands upon his time and skill. 1t
had been Dr. McCoy's intention, in estab-
lsiIfng 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 deep-
seated affections of the ear, the throat,
the lungs, the bronchial tubes, by its won
derful triumph over some of those scourges
of humanity falsely called incurable mall
aides. While he could not reduce his fees
would not do so, in factor a specified
time lie abolished his fees altogether, giving
his services free and charging only for the
medicines used, making the uniform rate
or SO month to all.
1t then became absolutely impossible to
care for the thronging crowd of people who
sought take advantage of the opportunity
within the time limit set. DR.. 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 Eeen re-
peated emphasis given to the limit. DR..
Mccoy desires o avoid criticism after the
lst of January, and those patients who
come after that date and pay SO Il onth
Will have no ground for complaint that
they have not been abundantly notified
that the opportunity of the So rate is
solely limited to those beginning treat
ment before January l.
This is the offer:
AL pdticuaS DcSiiiiiHS VI Hchcn- :
ing treatment before January L Will
be treated until cured at the uni
form rate of So month. This in
cludes all medicines and treatment.
This is absolutely the final oppor-
tunity under this rate. 1t will under
no circumstances be again extended
or continued. After January L Doc
tor Mccoy will resu me his usual
fees.
