Given by Doctor McCoy to All Chronic Sufferers in Washington, Welcoming Every Sufferer From Catarrh, Bronchitis, Rheumatism, Deafness or Any Other Malady to a Trial Treatment Entirely Free. The purpose of this invitation ex- tended in the Trial Treatment Free clause given below must not be mis- understood. It is simply the result of the Famous Physician’s desire that the public may obtain without cost an adequate knowledge of the treatment which is the perfected re- sult of his life work, which, like his earlier treatment given to the world ten years ago, will soon be in general adoption by the profession, which has worked such cures in Deafness and Bronchial Disease alone as to startle the old school practitioners, which has already proven by the wonderful record of results that it will be the treatment of the future. In extending this invitation Doctor McCoy desires that its terms be un- equivocal. Every person in Washington to whom life has become a burden by reason of the filthiness and suffering of common Catarrh of the Head, Nose and Throat may now apply at the offices of Doctors McCoy and Cowden and receive a trial treatment free of charge. Every person in Washington who has become discouraged and tired of the vain fight they have been mak- ing against the cough, the choking spells and the ever-recurring ago- nies of Asthma and Bronchitis may now apply at the offices of Doctors McCoy and Cowden and get an ink- ling of what may be done for them by a better system of treatment than they have heretofore been receiving. They will be cheerfully accorded a trial treatment without charge. Every person in Washington who has lost strength of heart and strength of body and is becoming pale, amaciated and lantern-jawed and melancholy, by the sickness, the torture and the starvation incident to chronic Catarrh of the Stomach may now apply at the offices of Doctors McCoy and Cowden and receive, without expense, an explanatory ad- ministration of the treatment that has restored so many thousands of gloomy dyspeptics. Every person in Washington who may be undergoing the fiery agonies of Rheumatism or the blight, the suffering and the disfigurement of Eczema, or the weakness, failure, misery and decay due to any com- mon form of chronic disease may now apply at the offices of Doctors McCoy and Cowden and get a glimpse of happier conditions in store for them under the McCoy system of treatment. The free trial treatment will be ac- corded to all upon personal applica- tion. To those who continue treatment until cured there will be no expense beyond the regular nominal month- ly assessment, all medicines in- cluded. DR. WCOY'S RECORD.

I THE REPEATED MIRACLE OF HEARING RESTORED. Miss Eliza Pope, 910 I st. s.e.: “The affliction of Deafness was most unfortunate for me, for at the time it came on I had studied and learned the occupation of typewriting, and my Deafness prevented me from securing a good po- sition. “The right ear bad been entirely useless for eight yeers. ‘The Deafness gradually increased until I Could Not Understand Ordinary Con- versation. Tt came on when I was living with my folks in Prince George's county, Maryland. “The doctors I weat to told me the drum of the ear was broken. I wus distressed all the time with steange noises in my head; noises that sounded like eseaping steam end ringing noises. Soractimes these noises sounded like the rumbling and rolling of thunder. “When I went to Doctor McCoy I felt the Deat- ness had lasted so long, Se For Eight Years, it would probably be Impossible to cure, as other doctors had told me co. Doctor McCoy sald my was curable. ‘The result of the treatment shows he knew Just what he was talking about. I can row hear the clock tick across the room, and I no longer have to request people to repeat what they say. When people talk at all distinctly I can readily under- stand them. - It is ro longer necessary for people to shout at me. Last Friday, when it rained, I heard the thunder for the first time in years. “For the first time in years now I can hear the Miss Eliza Pope, 910 I st. s.e., testi- fies to Doctor McCoy's skill in curing Deafness. birds singing in the trees outside of the house. I can hear clearly the bicycle bells and wagons pass- ing in the street. My hearing is the Joy of my life, and I shall never cease to wonder at it, nor be grateful for it.”” Dr. McCoy Curing the Deat. Maurice Clagett, 215 A st. s.e.: “For @ quarter of a century I had been Deaf. There was rothirg I could hear distinctly. Ordinary conversa tion T could not hear at all. When I learned that Doctor McCoy had established a National Practice in Washington I went to him at once. T can now ft ear ordinary conversation, and th hearing in my right ear is better than it’ was. It was my right ear that was almost stone deaf. To- day T distinctly heard ana bell a block away. I could hear the clatter of horses’ hoofs; scunds which I had not heard in years. Patrick McGraw, 214 E st. s.w. (85 years of age): “I had beca hard of hearing for ten years. There were constant ringing and buzzing sounds in my cars. I coind not hear a watch or clock tick at all. I can row hear the clock tick and all ordinary conversation. I hear the street cars passing, which I could not before. The ringing sounds bave left my ears. George Cecil Hyde, 3400 Prospect ave., 14 years of age: “I could not hear conversa- tion or what people sald on the streets. “Since going to Dz. McCoy my hearing has been restored. I can hear conversation clearly.” Mrs. Hyde, the boy’s mother, said to the writer: “We notice remarkable change in our boy"s con- dition. We test his hearing every day, and find he will answer us now, whereas heretofore he could not hear unless we spoke very, very lond. “I am happy to say that he is doing excellently. He hears me when I address him in very ordinary tone.”* Oscar Rundgvist, 218 Harrison st., Anacostia, car inspector, B. and P. R. R.: “I could not hear ordinary conversation. I would have to ask questions over and over again. stling and ringing noises in my ears like an en- gine blowing off steam. I could not hear the clock fick. Since taking Doctor McCoy's treatment I am improving wonderfully well. I can hear the clock tick several feet away. Many things that oceut dally prove that I am improving in a remarkable way."” P. F. Milligan, 115 4th st. n.e., Cap- itol Hill:"I feel like going down the avenue and telling every one my deafness is cured. I was deaf for 18 years; could searcely hear a word; I wouid was deaf as a brickbat. Doctor McCoy cured me entirely. If there 1s anybody who does not believe it let him come and see me in person.’” Frank Miller, 533 9th st. s.e., expert machinist: I could nt hear a sentence a short dis- tance away. Sounds were confused. I had to ask People to repeat. I ccUld not hear my watch tick. Buzzing sounds like escaping steam were constant. Since taking Dr. McCoy's treatment my hearing bas been restored. I hear perfectly. Mrs. Maria D. Bradley, 919 F st. s.w.: “I was very deaf, and had ringing and buzzing scunds in my ears all the time. I could not hear ordinary conversation. People would have to shout to make me understand. I could not hear the clock strike. All sounds were dull ard mixed to me. I tried everything. I found ro relief until I went under Doctor McCoy’s treatment for deafness. I have improved worderfuliy. I can hear ordinary conversation. I can hear the clock tick from any part of ‘he room. ‘The restoration of my hearing rought through Doctor McCoy’s wonderful DOCTOR McCOY CURING 5 BRONCHIAL ASTHMA. A. S.

Mrs. Joseph Sykes, 1214 19th st. n.w. “I had been a sufferer from acute Dyspepsia for years. There were at times distressing pains; at other times it seemad like something was pre: on my stomach.

Steinway, Col. H. L. Higginson ard Dr. Wm. Mason,-as trustees, to invest to establish the following triennial prizes for the composers of, American birth with- out any distinction ag to age or religion: 1. Five hundred dollars for the best or- chestral work in symphonic form. 2. Three hundred dollars for the best com- Position for solo instrument, with orches- tra, 3. Two hundred dollars for the best cham- ber music work. In his letter to Mr. Steinway the dis- tinguished pianist says that he hopes this endowment “will prove to be useful, ard that your younger composers will not consider as a gift, but as a debt, this little encouragement coming from one who has found in their land all the happiness to which an artist can aspire.” When the trustees shall have formulated their plars and made their announcements of the time for the reception of competing Yorks, there should be compositions from Weshington musicians, for this city has some who have already won praise for their efforts, and who in a contest like the one proposed will be invited to high achieve- ment. Mile. Louise Nikita, who is a Washington girl, but who has made. quite a career for herself, is thus spoken of by the American Register of Paris, France: Mile. Louise Nikita, who refused to marry a Persian prince and change her national- ity,has veturned to Paris to. make her re-en- tree in a new creation at the Opera Com- ique, after a series of triumphs in Ger- many, Austria and Switzerland. That the dainty American nightingale is one of the prettiest of our musical celebrities in Bu- rope is a fact as positive as it is true that she Is a leaflet on'one of the branches of the family tree of Daniel Boone of Ken- tucky, and was born at Washington, D. and educated under the personal instruction of Charles Gounod, Ambroise Thomas, Jules Massenet, M. Le Roy and Maurice Strakosch, who transformed Mrs. Nellie Armstrong into the present Mme. Melba. Mlle. Nikita speaks and writes no s than seven lang is an excellent rait painter, a talented pianist, a regu- contributor to the literary page of the Presse of Vienna, a first-rate billiard play- er and a daring’ bic She has never tasted champagne or smoked a cigarette, has traveled all over Europe and the con- tinent several times, and, besides holding the title of court singer to the Duke of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, she has been decorated by three kings and awarded gold and silver medals by German, French and Russian institutions of learning. Her vocalization is said to equal that of Mme. Melba, and in that which pertains to the dramaiic art the American diva is superior. Massenet has recently declared that “whatever Mlle. Nikita. undertakes to interpret is accom- plished so naturally that her personal in- dividuality is lost in the idealism of her portrayal.”” It may interest the readers of The Star to know that Miss Tracey, who was here with Hinrichs a short time ago, won a notable triumph last week at the May festival of the Albany Musical Asscciation. She sang Donna Anna’s recitative and aria from Mozart's “Don Glovannt,” and was eted with the greatest ‘enthusiasm.
