Reduced railroad fares can be obtained on account of membership in the CONGRESS OF AMERICAN PHYSICIANS AND SURGEONS, provided at least two hundred and fifty men secure reduced fare certificates. If every man who attends this meeting will secure and deposit such a certificate, whether or not he intends to use it for his return journey home, it will materially help the far west members in obtaining reduced rates.

Read carefully the literature which comes to you from the Congress.

Bear in mind that you are a member of the Congress of American Physicians and Surgeons, and that you should comply with their registration requirements, including fee.
