DR.. DOGGe'S NEW DEPARTURE.
New Onices and New Prices for Patients
by the Month.

New Onices and New Prices for Patients
by the Month.
Beginning to-day. April 1st. Or. o.. III.
Dogge of the Surgical hospital. 401-f03
South Montana street. will occupy four
offices over Parchen a. d'Acheuls drug
store. No. 80 North Main street. where
he will see all office patients from 10 to
II. ? TO 5 and Z to s O'Clock. No oh.ce
patients will be received 1T the hospi-
tai. which is reserved for cases requir-
ing surgical and other hospital treat
ment. Heretofore DIR. Dogge has been
treating office patients for $40 a month
including all medicines. Inasmuch as
many patients required little medicine
while others needed a great deal. those
who were dosed very little felt they
were paying for the patients who's all
ments required much physic. 10, TO
remedy this and that all might be on an
equal footing so far as DIR. Dogge's re-
lations with patients were concerned.
the doctor will hereafter treat all office
patients for 50 per month. each patiert
supplying his or her medicines. When
IL is remembered that the doctor takes
old chronic cases hat require months
of treatment as well as cases needing
less time for cure. IL will be seen that
his rates are only nominal. Were il not
for the fact that DR.. Dogge treats hum
dreds where others treat dozens or
Tess, ne WOULD not ne able 10 make a
living at his nominal charges. Notwith-
standing the low fee every patient gets
the benefits of the X-ray machine when
necessary for diagnosis and of all the
other latest inventions for discovering
the seats and cause OF ailments that
enable the doctor to tell TO a certainty
from what the patient Is ailing: and
when the disease is known. almost any
doctor can cure 1t. Finding out exact
ly what is the matter with n patient is
the secret of DIR. Dogge's great success
in the short time of his settling in
Butte. Among his specialties are
catarrhal affections. and skin and pri-
vate diseases. His sureness of treat
ment has caused him to be consulted
not only by many people both in and
out Of the city. bu also by physicians
who have a high regard for DIR. Dogge's
unerring diagnosis and for his long and
successful experience in treatment OF
those special maladies.

A PROPHETIC NAME.
The C.r,o.. Prediction Made in the
Naming Of Lake POntchartratn
Has Been Eal6lle6.

The name Of Lake ePontcharsrain bears
in it a curious prediction. as il were, of
what should be witnessed OF it at the
present day, almost exactly 200 years
after Iberville named it, says the New
Orleans Picayune. Count Ponichartrain
and Count de Maurepas were two min
listers of Louis XIV., under whose aus
pices lberville and Bienville sailed from
La Rochelle. in France. in lG6S. to es-
tablish the first colony in Louisiana.
and Iberville, in honor of these patrons
of his enterprise, named Lakes Manre-
pas and Pontchartrain. Pontchartrain
is q combination of three distinct
French words, viz: Pont, meaning
"bridge," char, meaning car" and
train, meaning "train." The prediction
in the name lies in the fact that at pres
ent. in a single glance, one may see on
Lake Pontchartrain, where the North
eastern railroad crosses it. a "pont"
(bridge), a "char" (car), and a "train"
(train), thus interpreting the prediction
