About That Challenge.


The challenge was so plainly directed to
DR.. Copeland that an immediate and direct
response was called for. and those who read
the response wer" given no room to doubt as
to tho willingness Of DIR. Copeland to submit
to any fair and adequate test before the public
oftne superiority OF his methods and his skill
and experience in his specialtes.
1t is probable that this challenge would have
passed unnoticed. IL it had not been for the
reasons stated in those columns last week.
namely that whatever appears in the col
| umns Of tho newspapers is worthy OF the at
tention OF men who use the newspaper COL
umns. no matter whether the author himself
is deserving OF attention or notice or not.
prs. Copeland and Gardner are in New
York to treat the sick. to cure those who suffer
from the diseases in their specialtics. They
have nothing in common. either in their meth
DDS or in their work. with any specialist or
specialists who hnv" advertised themselves
in this field. They do not desire to be con-
founded with them In any respect
Ono thing. however. must be clearly UNDER
stood their names. their credentials. and the
record Of their success is before the public.

| columns or circulated by would be rivals or

! Nv lust one word in closing. It is rot with
Jealous ply sicians. crippled competitors. or
incompetent pretcnders to medical skill. that
Dr- Copeland and Gardner have to deal with
in this community. 1t is. after all the public
alone with whom they are concerned. and the
cordial and hearty response that the public
