For the past two weeks DR.. Norcr oss
Of Rooms 8, 10 and II Owsley block in
this city. has been occupying large space
in the Inter Mountain, announcing his
departure from the old high-price fee
scale of the physicians trust society OF
Butte and Offering to treat all patients
coming to his office at $40 per month,
furnishing all medicines Free
AS this is quite an innova ton, as welf
as great advantage to the general pub
lie, an Inter Mountain representative
called on DR.. Norcross to have a tails
He found the doctor in his elegant and
luxurious offices, and who after at
tending to several waiting patients, con-
sented to talk on the subject.
In response to a number of questions
DIR. NOrcrOss said that he had conclude
to make the change in his prices for
office treatment because, in his own ex-
perience. he had come across hundreds,
even thousands, who needed treatment
but who bore their ills and went on sur

by year sooner than to incur heavy
doctor bill.

Another reason that helped to decide
the doctor in the change is that he has

regular physician of long practice would
offer to treat people at fee within their
