Above Interview.

And Indicating the Local Bearing of the
Above Interview.
In reproducing the interview above given
from Cincinnati paper a few words indi-
eating its local significance may be added.
The physicians referred to have settled in
Pittsburg, and are permanently located at
No. &c Sixth avenue, where they treat ca
tarrhal troubles and affections OF the eye, ear,
throat and lungs. That their offices are per-
manent ones can be evipced in no better way
than by the fact that their lease of the commo-
dlous building referred to is for one year. 1n-
deed none of the leases and contracts made by
these gentlemen in Pittsburg are for less than
year. They locate in Pittsburg to practice
their profession here regularly and perma-
nentIy.
So far as the regularity of their practice is
concerned, there could be no higher indorse-
ments than those with which they are pro-
vided. Dr. Copeland is a graduate of Bellevue
Hospital Medical College, in New York City;
was president of his class in that famous insti-
tuition, and. after thorough hospital training
and experience, devoted his time and attention
to the special lines OF practice named in the
above
Dr., Blair. after receiving his diploma as an
NJ. D., spent several years in New Y ork in per-
fecting himself in the special practice to which
he expected to devote his life. AtterWard, as
member Of the New York Polyclinic, ne e. had mad
=
larger hospitals in that city.
This thorough, painstaking and patient prep
aration told wonderfully in after years. Set
tliDg in the Central States, his practice grew
Cincinnati, Detroit, Milwaukee and 1ndianapo-
lis the results of his work, noticed again and
again by the daily press, have given him an
enviable reputation.
These facts briefly, and no doubt very i'm
perfectly gwen, constitute the basis of the
claims for public recognition that these gen.
tlemen make In word, they set forth this
patient and regular preparation in the schools
of medicine recognized by the laws and in
telligence OF the country, special preparation,
training and experience in hospital and in
firmary practice, followed by years of sue
cessfu1 practice of these specialties in large
cities.
1t may be said, by way of emphasizing what
Pittsburg these gentlemen have not sought to
evade or disregard any of the local regulations
or laws concerning medical practice. Present.
ing their diplomas to the faculty of the W est
ern Pennsylvania Medical College they sub
mitted to the regular examination, given ac-
cording to law, to all applicants from her
States who desire to practice in this. The
examination, which, by the way, is searching
one. they passed with credit, and their diplomas
bear the formal indorsemen. of the Dean and
faculty of the Western Pennsylvania Medical
College.
One word more, which it is desired to make
very emphatic, and the writer is through. Drs.
Blair and Copeland do not come to Pittsburg
as the pioneers of modern medical science, nor
DO they seek to depreciate the qualification or
skilPof others, nor do they claim to perform
miracles or exercise sorcery or work by magic
Theirs is not wonder working business 1t
is simply the practice of their profession In
those special lines for which they have spent
years IN thoroughly preparing themselves, and
in which experience has shown that they are
notably if not wonderfully successful.
