One year ago DR.. Copeland and bis associates
launched an enterprise, which for boldnots OF
conception and Integrity Of carrying out TO tne
very letter and spirit OF the oder had never
been equaled in the history Of medicine in this
country. This enterprise was TO treat Cat ARA
and all kindred diseases at the uniform lee OF
q q month, medicine Included. Experiences
had taught them that this disease, especially
when complicated with ear troubles. Asthma,
Consumption, Facial Neuralgia, etc, etc could
not be eradicated except by CONTINUOUS ano
systemetic course OF treatment OF three OF Tour
months duration. They reasoned that by tne
excessive fees charged ordinarily by specialists
that patients OF limited means could not AFFORD
TO continue under treatment long enough %
receive any permanent benefit aud thatthls 10
what gave rise 70 the Impression that eaisriel Is
An ipcurahle disease. They also reasoned that
IL they could only get such patients 70 re-
main under treatment with them Tor seNetel
months they could afford TO treat all such cAsss
Al the low rate OF s. q month, medicine In
cuded.
What NJ that time was simply an experiment.
IS the s. rate was extended from mopth 70
month TO see how the public would receive n,
has grown TO be permanent institution The
public AZ once .'took' to this innovation and \
practice was begun by Drs. Copeland ana
Davis, which has grown 10 be simply remarks
BILE in It's extent and character. Besloes The
good that they have done by enabling patients
10 continue under treatment for several months
Instead OF so many weeks, as heretofore, has
raised up an army OF joyful, heAlthlul beings,
who never tire or praising ana recommending
their method Of treatment
The theory upon which this system OF treat.
ment is founded Is TO reduce the practice OF
medicine TO a business-like basis.
A small sum, 50 a month, IS charged patients
for treatment by the month, ana mealcines
are furnished free OF cost This brings the
services OF skilled physician within TIE
reach OF everyone and does away with drug
bill" There's no excuse then for the sufferer
10 silently sudure his disease for fear OF the
expense attached 20 consulting specialist
IL Is the old proposition OF large sales aud
small profits" Were the people OF thus city
aware OF the number OF patients treated by
Drs. Copeland and Davis every week they
would he amazed. The otices Gt No. 1871
Main street are crowded morning, neon and
night. The best people OF tho city, Tired OF
paving large doctor bills, and Anxions 70
secure quick thorough aud. effective treatment,
are numbered among their patrols aud enthu-
siastlc admirers.
Those who predicted that the g. rate Was
something ola day or week have been found
guilty OF ignorant assertion.
The s. rate has come % stay.
From week TO week the tributes OF enthusi'
astic patients have been paid through the press
TO the efficacy and thoroughness OF the treat
ment
To celebrate the hrst anniversary OF their IS
rate OF treatment, aud IA grateful recognition

forts, Drs. Copeland and Davis have docided 20

but in the future it will apply 60 All diseases.
