brought back from the frozen North began its trip
TO the wharf The operation was carefully watched
by as many people as could crowd together on the

Editor Expositor.
Please inform your readers that the
good work accomplished by the British
Medical Institute during its two months
existence at Port Huron, has resulted
in attracting so many patients from all
over this section that DIR. Hale, the
general manager and chief consulting
physician, has decided to 60 to the
Port Huron office with two able as
sistants, and remain there until Jan.
lst in order to accommodate the I'M
usual large number of callers.
In order that the rich and poor may
alike enjoy the services of these skilled
specialists during that time, all pro-
fessional fees will be suspended and
no money whatever will be received
Except for medicines furnished)
Can every reader, suffering from a
chronic disease, fully realize what this
means to him? 1t is simply this: Be-
tween now and Jan. 1st you can con-
suit doctors who have devoted their
lives to the study and cure of chronic
diseases, and can have the benefit of
all their rare knowledge OF modern
medical science and vast experience
without going to some distant city, or
paying the large fees regularly charg-
ed for such services.
No matter what treatment you have
taken heretofore, If You have not been
cured, call on the doctors and get an
honest and honorable opinion Of your
case. In all difficult and complicated
cases the combined wisdom o. the In
stitutes staff OF seven eminent special
lists is brought to bear. If incurable
YOU will be kindly and frankly told so.
If impossible TO call upon the doctors
personally, send a stamp for n symp-
tom blank. Yours faithfully,
