To The Public.
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.
