INCREASE IN PHYSICIANS FEES

Whereas all commodities used by
our profession have been increased
from 100 to 800 per cent and living
expenses increased 100 per cent or
more; and whereas we have been

and feel that in order to meet the
aforementioned increased expenses
of business and living, we are en-
titled to better fees.
We the undersigned physicians
therefore agree to the following fees,
to take effect on and after October
10, 1918.
Office consultation (strictly cash)
