WHO MERITS, WINS.
SUCCESS GOES TO THOSE WHO DE-
SERVE 1T BY THEIR WORK.
Public Confidence and Public Conf
dence Goes Alone to Genuine Skill and
Unassailable Truthfulness - Looking
Backward Over Three Years.

It is a genuine pleasure for a writer to deal
with success. 1t is even q greater pleasure
to deal with success that is deserved-that Is
won fairly and honestly. When one, writing
to the public, knows that that which he de-
scribes has merit, that the merit is proved
and appreciated by the public, that the pub
lie gains by that merit, there is a genuine
pleasure in his work-his convictions go
with it, he writes of what he knows is true,
and he knows that what he writes will have
the sanction and approval Of hundreds Of
readers, who have already proved and at
tested its truth by personal experience.
The success of DR.. Copeland and his ass
ciafes i'll this community is the result OF
methods that deserve success. Genuine
skill, honesty. frankness and fearlessness
mean success in anv community.
That success they are proud OF, but they
are prouder still of the TACT that it has been
accomplished by fair, open, Straightforward
methods without recourse to trickery or
scheming of any kind.
They came into this community
Three Years Ago,
And placed before the public the record Of
Il cir professional training and experience,
the special lines OF practice for which by
special study and special practice and ex-
perience they had fitted themselves. De-
string that their credentials and training
should be at once recognized by local au-
thority, they resorted to no subteriuges or
evasions in registration, but appeared at
once before the examiners of the West Penn
Medical College of this city, offered their
credentials from Bellevue Hospital College
of New York, submitted to the rigorous and
severe examination in medicine and sur
gerry imposed by the local college, received
upon their diplomas upon passing that eX-
animation the formal written en- dorsement
of the chair of that college-and then placed
the names before the public IN the news
papers.
What their success has been in the three
years tnat have expired since that time,
residents of Plttsbulg and Western Pennsyl-
vania know. 1t has been far beyond the
most sanguine expectations of the ply
sicians themselves, or their warmest friends.
Moderate Fees, Careful, Conscientious and
skillful Treatment
Earnestness in their work, and truthful
ness in their consultations with their pa
tients, as we'll as in their statements in the
newspapers. Around these cluster the
causes OF their success.
Two years ago. when 1t became generally
known to the public that Dr.. Copeland and
his associates were doing the largest special
practice that was ever Carried on in the two
successful men have) shook their heads
wisely and said: "Oh, that's advertising. ANY
one who adyertises can get business, but it
won't last. You'll see. 1t won't last"
Yes; but it has listed. Our Friend, tho
enemy, is mistaken. 1t has
Not Only Lasted, but Increased,
and tdpday the practice Of Drs Copeland
and Hall is more than three times as large
as it ever was before.
Why has it lasted? Why, bless you, there
is no secret about it. 1t has lasted and en-
dured, and increased, because Drs. Copeland
and Hall have, and hold and keep, the con-
fdence OF the public, the confidence of their
patients.
They have the confidence because they
are skillful in their special lines of prac-
tice-skillful as long years OF study and ex-
perience and practice can make them. They
have this confidence because they tell the
truth. They are what they claim to be.
They accomplish what they promise. They
make no statements that are not true, that
they cannot support.
The record of every day Of their work in
this community has shown that they care
more for the confidence of the community,
for position that is permanent and abiding
than ior temporary advantage, or fleet
ing and transitory success:
Their position is strong because it has
truth behind it. Their practice is wide and
extensive because it has skill behind it.
They have the confidence of the public;
first, because theyshave never taken a false
position or done anything to lose that con-
second, because it has been DEM
again and again that they are |
doing good in the community.
