Just as it was toward the last part Of the
free period with which Doctor Powell, his
method of treatment and his purposes. were
introduced tc the people of st. Louis; just
as it was then. when the Famous Physician
found 1t utterly impossible to care for all
who came. so during the concluding days
of November it was found utterly impos-
sible for the Bi-Chemic Physicians to see
all the patients who came to their Offices
to take advantage of the $40 offer, and many
had to be turned away. There was no
time to make any change in the newspaper
announcements. or. indeed, change any OF
the published statements at all. All that
could be done was TO care for as many as
possible and notify the others that the offer
would be extended from the first OF the
month. Doctor Powell felt that in giving
the SO offer for the month of November
he was giving abundant time for all who
desired to test for themselves the power
Of his treatment in curing Chronic Diseases.
The events of the last few days of the
month showed him he was mistaken. He
therefore sent out notices extending the
offer, not for a day or a week. but for the
entire month Of December. He made the
extension cover the entire month. so that
there might be no repetition OF the scenes
OF the last few days and the hurrying ami
confusion incident TO them.
