S. RATE ENDS APRIL !.
All new patients applying and all old patients
renewing before April will be treated
at the uniform rate of S5 month until
cured, medicines included.
What This Means.

To catarrhal sufferers it means much, as
by overwhelming evidence it has been de-
monstrated that diseases of the nose,
throat, and bronchial tubes can at last be
cured.
1t means that Dr. Cowden has, even in
opposition TO his own best financial inter-
ests, kept his promise TO the public by
the acceptance of low fees, which has not
only enabled him to prove the curative
effects of his method, but has also allowed
people of very limited means to enjoy the
benefits of a treatment that has restored
their health after all else had failed, and at
a price they could afford to pay.
IL means that the end of the small fee
for all diseases is at hand, and will posi-
lively not be extended beyond April l, eX
cept TO those who apply before that date.
This includes both old and new patients.
This announcement should be carefully
considered by all people suffering from any
catarrhal disease.

Il never had catarrh until l came back

worse until the symptoms became very
troublesome. My nose was stopped up

from nose and throat, slept with my
mouth open. which caused my tongue to
be dry and my throat parched in the
mornings. / coughed a little and was
troubled with headaches. tried many
doctors and bought numerous medicines
nothing ever did me the least good. The
first relief / ever received was after l
began what is called the Cowden- Riegel
treatment. My case was a stubborn one.
and it was about three weeks before l
noticed any change, but after that time
my condition improved more rapidly. until
after few months of constant applica-
tion, 1 reached a stage in which all my
bad symptoms had been cured A friend
who had been cured advised me to 20 there
and in turn ], knowing what was done for
me- feel free to recommend all catarrhal
sufferers to adopt the Cowden- -Riegel
method"
