meetings in the interest of benevolent or
religious movements, and the majority of
conventions and meetings of such a ma

crowds, as it is convenient in arrangement
and its acoustic properties are all that
could be desired.

REASONS FOR The OPEN INVITATION
Given by Doctor Mccoy All Chronic Sufferers Washington WELCOMING
Every Sufferer From Catarrh, Bronchitis Rheumatism Deafness or Anv
Other Ma1ady Trial Treatment Entirely Free

The purpose of this invitation ex-
tended in the Trial Treatment Free
clause must not be misunderstood.
1t is simply the result of the Famous
Physicians desire that the public
may obtain without cost an adequate
knowledge of the treatment which is
the perfected result of his life work,
which, like his earlier treatment
given to the world ten years ago, will
soon be in general adoption by the
profession, which has worked such
cures in Deafness and Bronchial
Diseases alone as to startle the old
school practitioners, which has al
ready proven by the wonderful rec
ord of results that it will be the treat
ment of the future. In extending
this invitation Doctor Mccoy desires
that its terms be unequivocal.
Every person in Washington to
whom life has become a burden by
reason of the filthiness and suffering
of common Catarrh of the Head,
Nose and Throat may now apply at
the offices of Doctors Mccoy and
Cowden and receive trial treatment
free of charge.
Every person in Washington who
has become discouraged and tired of
the vain fight they have been making
against the cough, the choking spells
and the overcoming agonies of
Asthma and Bronchitis NAV now ap-
ply at the Offices of Doctors Mccoy
and Cowdcn and get an milling of
what may be done for them by bet
ter system of treatment than they
have heretofore been receiving. They
will be cheerfully accorded a trial
treatment without charge.
Every person in Washington who
has lost strength of heart and
strength of body and is becoming
pale, emaciated and lantern-jawe
and melancholy by the sickness, the
torture and the starvation incident
to chronic Catarrh of the Stomach
may now apply at the Offices OF Doc
tors Mccoy and Cowden and re-
ceive, without expense, an explana-
tory administration OF the treatment
that has restored SO many thousands
of gloomy dyspeptics.
Every person i'll Washington who
may be undergoing the fiery agonies
of Rheumatism or the blight, the suf-
iering and the Disagreement of Ec-
zema, or the weakness. failure. mis-
cry and decay due to any common
form of chronic disease, may now
apply at the offices of Doctors Nc
Coy and Cowden and get a glimpse
of happier conditions in store for
them under the Mccoy system of
treatment.
The free trial treatment will be &C
corded to all upon personal applica-
ton.
