The necessity for the extensions
that Doctor Mccoy has made of the OPP
portunity under the SO rate can only be ap-
preciatedby those VINO have seen the thrCngs
of people rowdng his offices during the
concluding days of the two periods given.
Only those who have witnessed with their
owl eyes the anxiety and the eagerness
OF these applicants to obtain the benefits
of the offer can at all appreciate the
press ure brought 10 hear upon Doctor Nc
Coy to make the extensions he has made.
This Final Extension To the end Df the
year was the result OF such a pressure
as this-only that the pressure was in
tensified tenfold by the crowds Of people
over anything that has preceded. In max
ing this final extension Doctor Mccoy
therefore insisted upon giving tenfold EN-
phasis to its condition-Dameiy, that it is
absolutely final; that it carries with it
distinct notice that on the 1st OF January
ths 81 opportunity ceases.
In view of repeated extensions,
Doctor Mccoy desires that this
notice he given unusual prominence.
The month of December is absolutely
the last opportunity under the S3
Rate. 1t will never he given again
in this practice. 1t cannot be iu-
definitely extended without actual
loss, ana it will he wit thdrawn eX-
cept TO those patients already under
