II has always been the cardinal principle OF
che Great Quaker Physicians life to do the
greatest amount OF good to the greatest num-
ber Of people. He has realized that during
the past few months many people In Scran-
ton have been suffering from financial de-
preston, owing to the existing labor condi-
tions. Hundreds OF people have asked to
be treated at a reduced rate. They have
stated that their financial condition was
such that It would be impossible for them to
pay the ordinary fec charged by physicians.
Doctor Byers' Offices are crowded to their
utmost capacity. His practice in this city
is the largest ever accorded to any physician
in the history of medicine. Hundreds Of
hopelessly sick have been restored to perfect
health and his name Is a household word
throughout the state OF Pennsylvania. 1t
would be manifestly unjust to treat few
at reduced ratio and charge others higher
price. In order to give all an opportunity
to be cured at n nominal price, he will treat
all persons applying at his ofhces on the
following conditions:
once. no matter what the trouble may be.
will be treated for the nominal sum OF $1,000
until cured medicines included. This m does
complete and radical cure.
He Furthermore agrees that II the patient
Is not completely cured In a specified length
oI tne, 10 return the money palu without
any qubbling or evasion; In other words. 1t
VIII not cost the patient one cent unless q
cure is effected.
Doctor Byers wishes to emphasize
the fact that this offer may be with.
drawn at any time, and In order to
get the benefit of II, It is important
to call at once. His practice is so
large that It will be impossible for
him to continue this offer indefinitely,
u you call now you will receive the
most careful and scientific x-Ray ex.
animation known to science, free Of
charge, and you will be treated until
cured at the nominal sum Of $1,000,
medicines included. II you are not
cured your money will be cheerfully
returned to you. Call at ONCE, as this
offer may be withdrawn at any time.
