TELLING THE SECRETS.
Why They Succeed-Maling Money and
Are Glad of 1t, Doing Good and Are
Proud of It

Proud of It.
At time in this country when there Is q
very just outcry against the system of med
icaI education that in two or three years
(and sometimes less) turns a young man
into full-ledged NJ. D., legally qualified to
kill or cure, as Providence or fortune NAV
direct, 1t is worthy of note to find men who
after more than the regular course in the
best medical colleges of the country, after
years devoted to hospital and infirmsry
practice-who were first educated and
trained physicians in the
BEST AND BBoADESr SENSE
of the word-trained and educated by the
regular college routine and by general
practice, and then became specialists, by ex-
perience and study in special lines of prac-
tice. The public in Pittsburg has had for
Hall
This is the preparation that alone makes
the skillful specialist-study, general prac-
tice, special study, special practice.
The groundwork of the success Of Drs.
Copeland and Hall in this community has
been their skill, their superior qualifications
and experience.
Another cause, and one which they by no
means depreciate, is advertising.
Drs. Copeland and Hall advertise regular
ly, methodically, persistently. They present.
to the public their sDecialties, their creden-
tials Showing what high medical authori-
ties vouch for their standing and slill) j their
location and cases, voluntarily given, of the
favorable result of their work These results
are easily Ver1Ueu- Inc patents quoted ar0
men and women well known in the COM
munity-your friends and neighbors. Por-
traits and addresses accompany each state
ment. Drs. Copeland and Hall are con-
nected professionally with no other adver-
tising doctors who are now in or have been
in this city. They are the business suo-
cessors of no one. They prescribe for their
own patients and are responsible for the
issues of their practice.
Occasionally you will hear some poorly
educated, partially trained doctor, without
ability to get patients or skill enough to
cure them when he gets them, without in
telligence enough to study a specially, or
industry and perseverance enough to prac-
tice it when he has studied it-occasionaily
you will hear such one, moved by the jeai-
ousy that success always evokes in small
minds, tnveigh against physician for ad-
vertising, but that
RELIo OF ANCIENT BIGorRY,
professional objection to advertising, Is
practically extinct, and the leading men in
the medical profession to-day concede the
right of the specialist to advertise, as being
the simplest, best and almost necessary way
of calling the attention of the public to the
special lines to which he devoteS himself.
Advertising, we say, is one of the causes
of the success of Drs Copeland and Hail.
But all advertising is not successful. and in
this case it is not so much the advertising in
itself. 1t is the kind of advertising.
In the first place, it is truthful advertis-
ing. In their advertisements, Drs. Cope
land and Hall give their own credentials
These are before the public. The adver-
tisements of these physicians represent per
manence and responsibility. These physi-
clans are not here to-day and there to-mor-
row. They are permanently located in Pitts
burg, and they are responsible for the re-
suits of their practice.
They do not seek to delude the public by
hiding behind fictitious words or practicing
upon popular credulity: They are not ped
ding medicines or selling woodworking
nostrums or concoctions- They are prac-
ticing medicine, as their printed statements
show, skillfully and effectively.
The fact that they treat an immense num-
Der of patients and conduct their practice
with business system, applying the same
methods to it that would be required to
make any business successful, enables them
to treat each individual patient at a very
low price, s. a month; necessary regular To-
cal treatment (without which no catarrhal
or bronchial trouble can be cured). together
with the medicines, actually cost the pa
tients less than they would be Obliged to pay
for the medicines alone ii they bought them
themselves.
And the benefits of that success are not en-
tirely their own. It is true that they prao-
tice their specialties
TO MAKE MONEY.
and they do make money. But Il is Just as
true that the public is benefited and that
they are doing good in the community. Spe-
ciaiists of equal skill in the great cities have
been accustomed to charge fees beyond the
reach of persons in moderate circumstances.
Drs. Copeland and Hall place within the
Teach OF all the results OF IQOOeTn ana
discovery, of lifetime of individual expert
ence and study, of faithful, honest, cpnscien-
tious practice. THEY ARE NOT ASHAMED OF
THE FACT THAT THEY MAKE MONEY. They ARE
PROUD OF THE FACT THAT THEY DO GOOD, that
they serve the public in q practical and much
needed way.
THEIR CREDENTIALS.
As has been said, DIR. W. Copeland was
president of his class at Bellevue Hospital
uated, the most famous institution of it's
kind in the country. His diploma bears the
written Endorsement of the medical authori-
ties of New York of the deans of prominent
medical colleges in Pennsylvania. DR..
Halls credentials are no less abundant and
unqualified. He also is formally indorsed
by the secretaries of various county and
State medical societies. Both gentlemen,
after thorough hospital experience and
practice, have devoted their lives to the
practice of their speciaities, with what suo-
cess the columns of the daily papers show.
In addition to the high medical authort-
ties quoted above, may be mentioned
Pittsburg medical authority, which is by no
means to be deprecated. The diplomas Of
both gentlemen bear the formal written IN
dorsement of the Western Pennsylvania
Medical College of Pittsburg.
