Injustice Annihilated.

DR.. Cowden has always insisted that
there was nothing cheap about his meth
DDS but the fee, and the reason for the
merely nominal charges he has eXacted,
during the past three years, has been due
to the following facts:
In the first place, upon his establishing
offices in this city he not only announced
methods of treatment that would cure ca
tarrh in all it's forms and stages. but the
most startling declaration was his claim
to cure deafness. Such statements were
naturally received with much doubt. and
as he was practically unknown in this To-
cality, il became absolutely necessary for
him to prove his assertions. To do this,
he adopted a fee that anyone could pay,
and resolved to extend these rates over
a period of three years. This method. it
was believed. would fulfill a two-fold pur-
pose. 1t would give ample time to demon
strate the wonderful curative properties of
his methods. as well as to allow persons in
very moderate circumstances to obtain
medical services that could not be OBJ
tanned for ten times the amount asked.
The public of course was not aware of
the three-year probation, and the long
continued small rate has injured Doctor
Cowden and his associates In the minds
of some, who are being told by his ma
turally envious competitors and their
friends that such rates could not b, given
unless there was something cheap about
the treatment somewhere. This is not
true in any sense of the word; the drugs
used are of the finest quality that our
best druggists can obtain, and every
physician who has ever sat in Doc
tor Cowden's consultation rooms
has not only been regularly
graduated physician, registered under the
medical laws of the District of Colurn-
bia, but has also received special in
struction in the diseases treated in these
offices. 1t has been a heavy burden for
these physicians to carry without COM
plant, bat now the end is in sight, when
they can charge such fees as they may
deem right and proper in each case
The three years end April l, 1899. These
years have accomplished much They
have proved without question that Doc
! tor Cowden's methods are superior to
all others in Deafness, Catarrh, Lung
| Disease, Stomach Troubles, etc.
They have proved also that the cures
are permanent. MIR. AilenE of Anacostia,
who was cured two years ago said last
week that he was as well then as when he
| stopped treatment. See Mr.. Davis, of
| Little Falls Road. d. c.. In next column
| Where could these men have gotten such
| treatment al s. month except of Doctor
Cowden. Hundreds of just such cases
| nave DteE puDHStleu from week 10 week
| for the past three years This is strong
| language but the theme justifies 1t. These
physicians have worked hard and long
| through many almost insurmountable oh
! stacles, but as the period Of probation
| draws to an end they are satisfied with
the results and have nothing to regret.
| The end is near, and Doctor Cowden' s
| claims have been verified. He is curing
| the people. He is glad to know aso that
! hundreds of poor people have been re-
| lieyed of diseases that they would have
| had to endure to the end of life had It
| not been for his charges. There are only
| three months left for patients 10 obtain
| a small fee, as after April l. 1859 there
| Will be no set price for all. II will vary
| in accordance with the case. From now
| till January LIST the fee will be 81 a week
| From January l to April 1 the fee will
| be s. per month. This is absolute This
| is definite Those needing treatment
| should well bear this in mind.
