The extension OF the S3 rate beyond the
limit which Doctor Mccoy first set Tor
it, that is, November l. was made neces-
sary by the crowds of people who thrODged
the office during the concluding days OF
October If Doctors McCoy and Cowden
had been twenty doctors instead of two
doctors they could not have begun To have
cared for all the people during the last
two or three days of the month Many We're
turned away. 1t is not part OF Ioctor NC
Coys plan to hurry patients, 10 nave his
offices uncomfortably crowded Ortocompel
patients to wait long hours before seeing
their physician When he made the ex-
tension OF the rate, therefore, he made
the time ample and generous-two full
months-for the very purpose OF avoiding
any more such scenes as those that Char
acterized the concluding days OF October
Ample notice having been given that
the opportunity positively closes January
/, and that it will under no circumstances
or on no condition be extended beyond that
date, Doctor Mccoy desires to add en-
phasis to the purpose OF this extension, 20
avoid the scenes of hurrying and confusion
which were so annoying to patients and
physicians alike Dr. Mccoy respectfully
asks, for his sake and for their sake, that
all those who desire to avail themselves OF
the opportunity OF the So rate make their
application at once. rather than wait until
the last few days of the month
Doctor Mccoy desires that no person be
denied this opportunity. He has done all
in his power to ma Ike the limit OF time
known, and those who come during the
last days of December and find it is physi-
calIy impossible for Doctor Mccoy 20 see
them will have only themselves to blame,
when, after January 1, they are Obliged
to pay Doctor McCOy's regular fee, for
while Doctor McCOy's office and Doctor
McCoy's practice are permanent in Wash
ington, the period during which advant-
age can be taken Of the So rate is not
permanent; Il ends positively with the
end OF the year.
All who place themselves under
treatment before January 1st will
be treated until cured at the uni
form rate of So a month. This rate
covers ali expense OF examination,
treatment and medicines and in
cIudes Deafness and all diseases.
