DOCTOR Mccoy
TEACHES A LESSON
The Renewal of the Rate of So Month to All
Patients and for All Diseases
Given the Illustration to Garry the Lesson HomeWhat
he Considers the Proper Use of the Word Free.

Doctor Mccoy had something to say
nbout offers of free treatment. The
essence of 1T was simply, that It is
not honest to lead people to q medical
ONCE en- free Offers and take their
money.
When Doctor Mccoy established hi.
time he treated everyone free. He
would ms soon thought of cutting HIS
arm of ns of accepting n cent from
anyone who responded to his free
offer. When following this for a
stated period he advertised $3 a
month. he stated that the $:S WINS TO
cover the cost Of medicines; that his
own services and those of his col
AeaEue were free. He would as soon
thought Of cutting his arm Off as of
taking more than $:i from any pa
tient.
Doctor Mccoy made the word s'Frec"
popular because his use of IL was
honest. His offer to treat patients for
$3 month. the average cost of mcdi-
cines, was believed and accepted by
thousands because they knew Doctor
Mccoy told the truth. because they
knew his superb skill a ply sfcinn
had never been tarnished by deceit
or trickcry n man.
1t is not enough that this be once
stated i'm public print. The lesson
needs to be brought home so hard 1t
Will never be forgotten. The public
must be protected from any methods
that are not perfectly sincere. The
sick ones of the public i'm any event
deserve protection, SO Doctor Mccoy
teaches this lesson, giving the people
promising to maintain this offer jnst
as long the resources of his Office
will permit of it. that is, until the
number of patients under treatment
becomes SO great as to prevent the
possibility of his personal care and
attention. This is the offer:

view of qualifying himself better for para

take a physical form. and Mr.. Dass, a lit

for obtaining food and is invariably forced
through hunger, to commit theft.

THE PACE THAT KILLS.
Something for business Women

Something for Business Women to
Read and Consider.
From the New York World
The pace that. kills business woman is
the work she does at home.
Good, hard, faithful attention to business
never killed any one, man or woman.
Worry, and the seeing to things idea
these are the two nails in the business Wo-
mans coffin.
The seeing to things idea is distinctly
feminine. No man ever had it. Every wo-
man is born with it.
Men sit in a street car and watch the
driver of a truck groan and tug and try
to get his wheels off the track and not a
man will move to help that driver, or even
sigh in sympathy. Every woman in the car
is edgfng and peering and wishing she
dared go out on the platform and "see to
that truck"
That's the thing that kills women.
They try to carry the world on their
shoulders, and they don't realize that the
world is a great deal better off without
their puny strength under it.
Business women try to do too many
kinds of things. They are, most of them,
''Jills OF all trades" When business man
gets up in the morning he takes his BATH
goes into the dining room and eats his
breakfast, kisses his family goodbye and

man. The business woman-do you know
her? do.
I'll tell what the business woman does.
She gets up early and goes into the chill
drens room and fuses around for half an
hour or so. If you ask her what she is
doing she'll say she's seeing to things
She hires a servant-and waits upon her
She pays dressmaker-and sits up

She buys hat-and takes it home and
tears it all to pieces and makes it over
again.
She dictates to a typewriter-and then
takes the copy" and corrects it herself.
She works herself i'll over something she
can't do, and ought not to do. and takes a
rueful pleasure in a martyred spell of ILL
ness.
She worries about other peoples troubles,
she frets over other peoples children, she
almost takes medicine for other people S

nervous irritation trying to "see to them -
