brane. directly or indirectly resulting from

The Reason Why.
| Thus II will:be seen why the physicians OF
| this Institute have given their time and ser

| two weeks. Ii was a bold idea, was carried out
| effectively. and. the writer Is informed. re
| suited In bringing To DR.. Copeland and his AS

| more patients.
DR.. Copeland said further in explanation oil

| profits"
Certainly IL is a distinct advantage to the
| people of Grand Rapids TO be able 70 obtain
| the services of well known medical specialists
| at low a cost TO themselves. Heretofore
| only the rich have been able to obtain the ser
| vices of specialists. and the move TO place this
| privilege at such cost as will put il within the
