PERMANENCE!
ONE Or Thu QUESTIONS Or VITAL IMPORT TO THE PUBLIC
Whether People Cured of Diseases at the Copeland
Medical Institute Stay Cured" or Whether
the Relief Given Is But Temporary.

The permansnce Of the cures performed
by Drs. Copeland and Provost IN their IN

or people who are ever envious Of success
and genuine ~merit-were forced to ac-
knowledge that Drs. Copeland and Pre-
vost were able TO accomplish what they
claimed. and that they succeeded when
others less experienced. Scheoled and care
ful failed. After. as has been said. this
flood tide of evidence had established this
fact beyond dispute they contented them

The permanence OF their cures has been
