for Doing So.

others Of q similar character have been prac-

Copeland and his associates have been obliged
to expose
The 50 rate is to all patients and for all dis
eases. 1t includes medicines. consultation.

Regarding the second point: DR.. Copeland
and his associates recognize the right Of those

medical advertisements in New York. He
served n written protest ganst this use OF his
name. bat it was several months before it
could be stopped.
Those who during this period supposed that
they were receiving the Copeland treatment

statement are obvious: and it may rs well he
understood now as at any other time that any
attempt TO impose on the public by tho use OF
