Only eight days remain in which to

the Bi.Chemic Physicians. During the
past few weeks their offices have been a
veritable Mecca for those persons suffer
ing from Catarrh. Deafness, Blindness,
Lameness, Nervous Disorders, and all
other Chronic Diseases that human flesh
is heir to. The facilities of the Bi- -Chemic
offices have been taxed to their utmost
capacity. So great has been the multi
tude applying for treatment that the Bi-
Chemic Physicians have been compelled
to lengthen their Office hours in order to
accommodate the people. 1t will be abso-
lutely impossible to extend this offer
any longer.
All persons applying for treatment
before June list will be examined by
the X-Ray, and given treatment and
medicines for a period of one month,
for the nominal sum of $S. The BIZ
Chemic Physicians wish to state 1hat
many cases are cured in one months
time. They also wish to emphasize the
fact that this offer positively expires
ON tho 31st day Of this month, and Will
not be extended beyond that date un-
der any circumstnnces. This is your
last opportunity to be treated and
