All the eminent writer's Of recent years on
nose and throat recognize the fact that
catarrh can be cured. The progress In
medical science in the last decade has made
| this not only possible, but absolutely certain.
There was time when. tho disease was i'm.
and terribly disastrous effects on stomach,
lungs and heart, and other less vital organs
were attributed to other causes. But since

Copeland, Hall and Byers, have devoted
their lives. their energies, their fortunes to

that every case Of nasal oatarrh can be

admit that any other physician can do any
thing which they cannot, they encourage
the impression that catarrh is incurable

great injustice to their patients, who have
learned to place faith in their statements,
and are'thus often prevented from seeking
aid of a specialist until the disease has
spread through and undermined the whole
system, and cure becomes impossible, or is
only accomplished after many months Of

The strides of science have been so rapid,
the additions to our stock of knowledge of
the human system have come SO fast and arc
so varied in their character, SO far-reaching
theories. that it is impossible for any one
man to keep up with them all. 1t is no

Scarcely day passes but Drs. Copeland,
Hall and Byers give suoh advice as this to
patients. They DO not feel humili-
ated; on the contrary, they feel that proud
sense Of honor that rewards every just and
manlyact. There is enough for them to do
they can do well. They desptse q false pre-
tence. They have made their success by
raightforward, honest dealing with the
public. and have no disposition or occasion
to resort to any other method.
Drs. Copeland, Hall and Byers have simply
yrasped the situation. They recognize the |
fact that recent developments In medical |
science have opened up q field too vast and |
have wisely selected a portion Of that field |
Of knowledge which they know they can |
master, and, having personally explored its |
length and breadth and depth, and flooded |
their search with the bright light shed from
the knowledge and experience of all the

know that they are abreast Of the best
thought of the day on the ubject-they know
that they can cure catarrh and its kindred
lungs and stomach, arising from general
catarrhal poisoning.
