CONSUMPTION CURED
For Ten Dollars Month
Treated their Own Homes with the Same Care and
Certainty of Cure at tho Koch Medical Institute
Dr. Whitman Makes Some Interesting His Wonderful
Ozouberculn and the Gratifying Results Obtained from
Its Use by Consmpives

The announcement having been re-
Gently made in these columns by
DR.. C. H. Whitman, of the Koch
Medical Institute. this city, that
he had decided to reduce the price of his
celebrated treatment for the cure of con-
sumption from fifty dollars a month to ten
dollars having caused such wdepread
comment and attracted so much atten-
ton, by reason of the exceptional oppor-
tunty 1t offered all such persons as might
be afflicted with consumption to receive
a proven and successful course or treat
ment for a merely nominal sum, news
paper representative has since called
upon DR.. Whitman for the purpose of as
certaning why this remarkable offer was
made.
The doctor was nothing 10th to state his
| reasons for making the reduction in the
price of his treating consumptve patients,
and in the course of the interview laid
considerable stress upon the fact that the
charge of ten dollars a month was either
for personal services in treatment at the
institute or for his practical home system
of treatment, both ways giving patients
all the benefits of the method which has
been so successfully used at the Koch
Medical Institute for more than two years.
DR.. Whitman stated that he had no OBJ
jectons to a regular interview, provided
ne cOulu ne CORRECTLY quOleu, anu IllS re-
plies to the questions asked him are as
follows: what were your principal rea-
sons for making such marked reduction
in the price of your treatment to con-
sumptive patients?" "There are several
causes that have operated to bring about
the aforementioned great reduction in
the price of treatment, among which may
be mentioned the following: Extensive use
of these remedies by both physicians and
patients all over the United States, which
necessitated improved equipment for their
manufacture. This in itself has mater
tally reduced the expense. Then, since it
has come into such general use, and now
bears the Endorsement of medical men
high in the confidence of their fellows, it
does not cost so much ITO advertise it.
There is another reason, and while 1t may
be called partially philanthropic, 1t GER
| tainly is one that will strongly appeal to
all sensible people. In the four years that
have been a resident practicing physi-
clan of this city, 1 have met scores of
poor people-consumptiveS 1 had
reason to believe 1 could cure, but who
could not afford to pay $4,000 month-nor
the half of t-for treatment, even knowing
that they could by so doing secure new
lease on life, and it is with feeling of
great satisfaction to me that have been
able to first originate a Substance-OZOTU-
BERCUL1N-that would in certain cases
destroy the tubercle bacilli-the cause of
consumption: and, second, to produce an
adjunct such as OZOMORU. Both have
their places in the treatment of tubercular
troubles, and are of equal importance, and
now that l have been able to so greatly
reduce the expense of manufacturing these
two important remedies, 1 am only too
willing to accept a less remuneration for
my services, and thereby save the lives
of many who-smply for lack of means
would otherwise be denied of the benefits
of the only known and certainly only posi-
tive cure for consumption. Ten dollars n
month for giving renewed health and an
opportunity for rounding out a happily
prolonged life is not great equivalent to
weigh against certain death, and an in
terim Of untold suffering. but it is all
