Why the Free Month is Given.

Dr. Barbrlck's reasons for giving the
Free Month are as follows: He takes
this method of advertising his Boston
Institute, one Of the finest and best
equipped Private Sanitariums in New
England. He wishes to place within the
reach OF all the wonderful benefits of the
New Cure. The free month will enable
many who could not otherwise start the
course to now take the treatment and
get cured. Thus hundreds OF sick and
suffering will receive the benefits of the
New Cure where only tens were cured
previously. Again DIR. Barbrick wishes
to impress on the minds Of the sick that
delays are dangerous, that now is the
time to treat and cure Chronic Ills.
Therefore to induce those who need II to
begin a course OF treatment now. at
once that they may receive the greatest
benefits from 1t in the shortest possible
time. as well as TO help those who are
unable to pay the fun fees. the Free
Month Is given.
