DOCTORS FEES.

(To The Editor.) Sir, —lt Ims como to my knowledge tint a leport is being circulated that the foes I charge for medical attendance etc, are excessive. Now us L consider it \» of vital irnportir.ee to the community of Te Aroha nnd district, that they should have the fullest assurance that they may in time of need procure properly qualified modical aid at a cost in no respect higher than what is churned in other localities, 1 ask you to permit me to nlxta through the medium of your cn'umin, that my charges are not, and never have been in excess of the minimum f«c-< fixed hv the New Z >aland Modical Association, of which body I have the honour t-> be a member; but that, on the contrary, in con«liijration of the badness of the iimoc^ j j,. lvc j n many instances ivnd.'.rnd, and continue to ,-ive my professional services for much loss than the recognise*! minimum charges. To remove all doubt and misapprehension, I append table of fees. For local residents :— Ordinary visit, within one mile, 7s Gd; beyond that, 5s per mile. Advice at my own home ss. Night visits, double fees. For visitors! — Consultation 7s G.! to 10s Gd, according to timo expended in examination. To poor persons, and those tent by Charitable Aid, or from Auckland, Thames, and other hospitals, to obtain the benefits of tne mineral waters, I give my advice and any medical atten dance they may require free of charge — I am, vie.
