The Acceptance.

From the morning papers OF the 7th inst.l
DR.. Copeland's attention has been called to
the above challenge, directed presumably. to
the extent that it's author thought best to
direct 1t at all. to the Copeland practice. DIR.
COPELAND REPRINTS IT TO ACCEPT
1T JUST AS 1T STANDS.
That which gains the dignity Of publication
In newspaper columns. no matter whit its
source. origin. or authorship. demands an
answer from men who themselves use the
columns OF newspapers The fact that 1t Is
printed in the newspapers and read by news
paper readers makes it worthy OF attention.
even though it's author would hardly be con-
sidered deserving OF notice.
So DR.. Copeland replies at once and uneQuiv-
ocally to this challenge. accepting 1t. exactly
as 1t is printed and quoted above. Just as IL it
were genuine. the man making 1t a genuine
specialist. and worthy the attention he appar-
entity seeks.
DIR. Copeland sincerely hopes that tho nu-
thor OF this challenge means what he says and
will carry out what he promises Nothing
would please Dr.. Copeland moro than such
fair test before the public. as 1t would. he is
confident, establish at once and beyond all
question tho superiority of his methods and
his work as n specialist. SO DR.. Copeland does
not mean that there shall be any opportunity
for evasion or Quibblinv in this matter. and
for this reason In accepting this challenge he
insists. as is his right on only two things. the
reasons for which will be plain to fair mind ed
readers.
1st-That DR.. Mccoy actually puts un the So
600. which he says he is ready to venture on
the results OF trial OF his skill: that he places
| this money in the hands OF disnterested and
responsible parties and publishes in the pa
pers that contain his challenge at once the
| ~ IA mn tias holding tha m fp ha
| covered by a like amount from DR.. Copeland.
2d-That Dr. Mccoy selects and names at
| once in the same papers the members OF the
Jury OF eminent physicians OF Now York" and
| the twenty patients In the treatment and cure
| OF which he desires to enter the list.
| DR.. Copeland makes no secret OF the fact that
| in LAYING down these conditions. which are
certainly fair to both parties. he is carrying
| out determination that all the propositions
| concerning this challenge and all the condi-
tons surrounding it shall be placed before the
| public In the columns of the daily press. We
| will hold no communication or enter into no
negotiation with tho party or parties making
| this challenge. except through the columns Of
| the daily newspapers. The author OF the chal-
| lenge has introduced the matter In the news
papers. and there it will stay 80 far as any cor
| respondence about it is concerned. There it Is
| q matter OF record. md there the public can
| Judge of any attempts mt evasion or qulbbling.
| DR.. Copeland will pay no attention to any
| Communications. propositions or correspond
| ence until they are printed in tho daily pa
| pers. where tho public may Judge OF their fair
| ness and sincerity. Bogus challenges OF this
| kind for years past have been frequently made
| by itneraut 1uacks and travelling advertisers
principally in small towns. to catch the atten-
ton of tho ignorant and uniformed Genuine
challenges are propositions fairly made in
writing and before witnesses. and are to be
accepted by mon who are confident Of their
superiority and expect to gain by the accept

nessos.
DR.. Copeland assumes that the challenge Is
genuine. takes it as such. frnnkly and squarely
nccepts it, He is ready. His money is ready.
The challenge is accepted. Ho says to the
challenger name the jury you describe tany
| eminent physicians OF New York will do.
