Ono year ago DR.. Copeland and his associates
launched an enterprise which for boldneAs OF
conception and Integrity Of carrying out to the
very letter and spirit Of the offer had never
been equalled In the history OF medicine In this
country. This enterprise was TO treat cataFFh
and all Kindred diseases at tho uniform fee Of 81
month medicine included. Experience had
taaEht them that this disease, especially when
complicated with ear troubleS Asthma. Bron-
chitis, Chronic Cough, Inclpient Consul mption.
FaciRi Neuralgia, etc, etc., could not BIO eradt-
Gated except by continuous aud systematic
course OF treatment OF three or four months
duration They reasoned that By the excessive
fees charged ordinarily by specialists, that
patients OF limited means could not afford TO
continue under treatment long enough 10 re'
cetYe any permanent benefit. and that THIS y
what gave rise 10 the impression mat cataErh -
II they could only get such patients 10 remain un.
der treatment with them for several months they
could afford TO treat all such cases at the low
rate OF jR month"; medicine included.
What at that time was simply an experiment,
rs the S. rnto was extended from month 10
month TO see how tho public would receive H.
Inns grown to DO q permanent institution inc
public at once "to0k" to this innovation and q
practice was began by DIS. Copeland aud Davis
which mas grown 10 be simply remarkable In
It's extent and character. Besides the good that
they have done BY enabllng PatlentS 70 eoattane
so many weeks as heretofore, has raised up an
army OF Joyful, h0althful beings. who never
tire Of pF6Ising ard recommending the!E method
OF treatment
The theory upon which this system OF treat
rnent Is founded Is 10 reduce tho practice OF
medicine TO n busineSSiike basis.
A small sum, s. a MONTH, Is charged patients
for treatment By tho moiith and medicines are
furnished free OF cost This brings the services

ono and does away with drug bills" There Is
no excuse then for sufferer TO silently endure
mis- disease for fear OF the expense attached TO
consulting specialist.
It Is Tho old proPosItIon OF "laFge sales and
small psont&" We're the people OF this city
aware Of the number OF patients treated by Drs.
Copeland and Davis every week they would be
amazed. Tho Offices at No. ll2l Main street. are
crowded morning. noon, and night The best
people of the city, tired OF paying large doctor
bills. and anxious to secure quick, thorough and
effective treatment are numbered among thelr
patrons and most enthusiastic admirers.
Those who predicted that the 81 rate was some
thing OF day or week have been found guilty
OF ignorant assertion.
The S. rate has come to stay,
From week TO week the tributes OF enthusias.
tic patients have been paid through tho press to
