To many sufferers the work of Drs. Cope
land. Hall and Byers in this co immunity mas
been a revelation-not OF secrets anu my =
teries, but of possibilities. There nave peen
no secrets about their methods. They nave
made no claims to the marvellous or wonoer'
working. Their columns in the press nave
been crowded with the testim onlals o.
patients well known In the community.
Month in and month ont their o1nces nav 9
been thronged with patients, until to-day II
is the fashion to be treated by these pny-
sicians. Rich and poor have joined In ac-
centuating their popularity by placing
themselves under their care.
Their work has been a revelat1on-not
mysterious. but new. 1t has had no equal
ever been known in the history Of medical
practice
Drs, Copeland, Hall and Byers make no Sc
cret of the fact that they have aimed to be
just what thev are-the peonle's physicians:
that they have higher regard for the needs,
wishes and feelings OF their patients tnan
for the prejudices of the profession or the
customs and precedents that come from
years of misuse and misapplicatton OF pro-
fessional influence and advantage
Drs. Copeland Hall and Bvers place them
selves in the position of their patients: they
talk with them as friends as being endowed
with reason and intelligence and havln%
right to know whatever medical science can
reveal regarding their troubles. DIS cope
land Hall and Byers regard the Information
they are called upon 10 give just as lmpor-
tant as the treatment they may apply. Incy
talk in plain, simple English, resorting to no
professional evasion or mysteries. Ine
needs OF the sick, the anxiety of relatives
and friends, the despair that comes from
long unsuccessful treatment and mlslead-
ing and contradictory advice and diagnoses
all these are taken into consideration py
them.
They not only understand thoroughly the
diseases which they treat, rut are able TO
make the patients understand them. skill
and simplicity mark their professional
work.
Time and again has the patient said
in interviews printed in these columns:
Il have been to doctor after doctor. None
of tn lem seemed to understand my case. 1
could get no salts siactlon from them at all.
Each doctor told me different story"
With wider opportunities Tor experience,
with more extended training, with larger
practice than any other firm of specialists IN
the United States, Drs. Copeland, Hall and
Byers have that confidence in the superior
ity of their Judgment in the accuracy or
their diagnoses and in the success OF their
treatment that raises them far above the
necessity of clouding their consultations
with professional terms or OF evading the
plain and simple questions OF inQuiring pa
tients or their friends.
Time and again has the patient said
in interviews published in these columns:
81 have paid out hundreds of dollars in
vain efforts to get relief. l have spent
months with this doctor, paying him $40
month. 1 have spent months with that
doctor, paying him $40 month. l have
spent all the money l had and still OBJ
tanned no relief"
There is a pitiful element in these re-
marks. There should be no occasion for
their being made. Drs.. Copeland, Hall and
Byers have SO large practice that. In the
first place, they are not tempted to charge
large fees. even If they wish 10. In the next
place they do not take cases under their care
which are not curable cases. In this lies
one of the reasons why so large percentage
OF the cases under their care Is cured. They
will not risk their professional reputation
by attempting to cure cases which are
beyond their power to cure.
They are, it is true. as these columns have
shown every week, successful in countless
number of cases which have been pro-
nounced incuI1ble by other physicians.
But let this be fairly and distinctly stated
and understood. 1t is not because they can
cure incuraDle cases that they are successful
in these, but because many cases which have
been pronounced incurable by ignorant and
inexperienced physicians will really and
readily yield to proper and scientific treat
ment.
