NOT PRIDE Alone,
But a Sense Of Obligation Comes With
Increasing Success.
Praise and Blame Desirable According
to the Sources FROM Which They
Come.

| Drs. Copeland, Hall and Byers have no de-
sire to conceal their sense of qualification
and pride at the wonderful success which
has been theirs in Pittsburg. They would be
more than human if they did not congratu-
late themselves upon their practice in this
| city to-day, which, without exaggeration, it
may be said, is larger, beyond question, than
| any other individual practice in the coun-
| try. They have the right to be proud OF it.
But far more pride do they feel In the
| methods by which that success has been
| reached than in the success itself. Their
| superior skill and ability has been DEM
onstrated by the character and number of
published testimonials. Never in the his
tory of advertising has there been such an
array of unimpeachable testimony; profess
sional men. business men, clergymen and
even physicians, ladies well known in their
neighborhood and in the city, representa-
tive people from all parts of this city and
vicinity, have been included in the wonder
full array of witnesses who have testified to
the success of the mild, painless yet wonder
fully effective treatment of these physi-
clans.
Drs. Copeland, Hall and Byers have made
certain clear and distinct ciaims to superior
skill: made certain clear and distinct state
ments as to the character of their methods
and to the uselessness, cruelty and severity
of the old methods of cauterization, burning,
and the use of acids, electrodes and escha.
rotics on the delicate membrane lining OF
the throat and nose. These claims and
statements have been supported by such
evidence as made them lnd1sputaDle: The
public appreciates Jruthfulness, frankness,
fearlessness and skill. As a result the
practice of Drs. Copeland, Hall and Byers
is to-day what it is.
But let there be no misunderstanding of
their position. They are proud of this won
derful success. They are grateful to the
public for this hearty and overwhelming re-
sponse to their printed statements and for
the confidence which it has extended to
them. But with this pride and Sratefulness
there is still weightier sense-the sense OF
obligation.
Drs. Copeland, Hall and Byers realize well
the fact that their success depends upon the
approval and appreciation of the public.
They realize thoroughly and well that the
underlying reason Tor thelr enormous
the people with their work in the ofhce and
their statements in the papers. Upon this
rests their popularity.
and cordial support that has been extended
to them in this community by careful, skill
full, thoughtful and unremitting efforts in
ical aid is their only aim. To deserve the
support that has been extended to them is |
their only ambition.
At the bottom, after all, OF the work OF |
every honest physician is the desire to do |
good DrS. Copeland, Hall and Byers are |
proud of the fact that they are doing good |
in this community; that they are benehting |
people; that they are able to prove that their |
system and their methods are public bene- |
faction. Upon this rests their success, and |
upon this has rested their success in years |
past and upon this alone can rest any per- |
manent success, or any success of which one |
may feel really proud and in which one may |
take genuine satisfaction.
In the matter of criticism, Drs. Copeland, |
Hall and ByerS are pleased and al ways will 1
be, if the expressed disapproval of them or |
their methods comes from people who might |
have a mercenary interest in trying to in
jure their business.
In the matter of praise, Drs. Copeland, |
Hall and Byers wish none that does not |
come an honest expression from those
who have been benefited by their care and |
treatment. The most grateful words to
their ears are those they hear day after day |
from patients saying: you have given me |
new life; you have restored my health; you
have ended my suffering; others kept me
under treatment month after month and
gave me no relief or help, but you have
cured me''
This is the praise in which they delight;
this is the highest qualification to which
their ambition reaches.
