We, the physicians of Fort Mill, in consultation believe that Fort Mill and the vicinity demand the services of three medical men, since three have practiced here for the past 25 years. Now, owing to the high cost of living, we have been unable to make a living for the past two or three years and conclude the only remedy is to raise the price of our services to the same fees as the physiciuns of surrounding towns, viz: For visits in town $1.50 Outside town limit up to 2 miles.. 2.00 Fur each additional mile above 2 .50 For nicrhl onllc uvtro 1 AA Obstretical cases $15 and upward. Moreover, we agree to send statements monthly for our services the same as other business men. All delinquents are urged to settle their accounts at once. Those who ca inot pay will be placed on the charity list. Those who will not will be placed on another list. These changes in fees to take elfect on the first of February. 1916. J. R. Elliott, M. D.
