PURPOSE and Limit
OF The So Rate.
Its Absolute Suspension 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
tia|ity After January

With this closing month OF the year ends
according to the announcement, tins 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-
| pllcit wording has been given the ernpha-
| SIS OF rapid published repetition to make
misunderstanding or confusion impossible.
The purpose OF the So rate has been made
clear. IL was adopted because DIR. McCoy
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. IL
mad been DR.. McCoy's intention, in estab-
iishing 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
It's triumph over deafness and other deef-
seated affections of the ear, the throat,
the lungs, the bronchial tubes, by its won
derful triumph over some Of those scDurges
OF humanity falsely called incurabe mall
aides. While he could not reduce his fees
would not do so, in fact-for a specified
time lie abolished his fees altogether, giving
his services free and charging only for the
medicines used, making the uniform rate
or 50 month to all.
II then became absolutely impossible to
care for Tie TIN onging crowd OF people who
sought totake 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 been re-
peaied emphasis given TO the limit. DR..
Mccoy desires o avoid criticism after the
ist OF January, and those patients who
come after that date and pay $40 Il onth
VIII have no ground for complaint that
they have not been abundantly notified
that the opportunity of the So rate is
solely limited 10 those beginning treat
ment before January /.
This is the offer:
The evening times., 1896-12-16

All patients beginning or renew
ing treatment before January L will
be treated until cured at the uni
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 1 Doc
tor Mccoy will resume his usual
fees.
