NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC

We, the undersigned physicians of
Grady county, wish to announce to
the public. that the former charges
for our medical services are no long
er sufficient to cover the increased
cost of living and the great increase
in the cost of all medicines, drugs
and other materials used in our work.
The following increased prices,
which have been in effect and charg-
ed by most members for some time,
will be continued until further no.
tice:
Calls, in the city or town, until 10
p. m, $500.
Calls, in the city or town, after 10
p. m, $500,

For the protection of the public
and those of our profession, who
have entered the services Of our gov
ernment and who will enter, we feel
that all charges, for medical services,
to those who are able and can pay,
and all bills due physicians, will have
to be paid or arranged for, before the
services of another physician can be
secured
We feel that this action Is neees'
sary as nearly all are now paying
cash or its equivalent for all the com
modities.
