THE MEN THEMSELVES.

When men are brought prominently be-
fore the public i'm the columns of the daily
press a very natural inquiry Is prompted
as to their record and antece Tents. In
the case in hand the writer gladly wei
comes the opportunity 20 answer this IN
quiry.
Dr. w. II. Copeland, though sttil by no
means an old man. has gained for himself
a reputation i'm his speciality. the treat
ment Of throat and lung troubles such as
IL is the good fortune OF but few even
among the most successful physicians TO
enjoy.
Matriculating at Bellevue Hospital
Medical college. his abilities were thus ear
" recognized In that famous institution
OF learning He was elected president or
his class and held that office until he grad
uated.
After finishing his course at Bellevue
with honor, and after an extended hos
rital practice and experience, DR.. Cope
land devoted himself entirely TO the lines
of practice mentioned here. DR. \. l..
Provost. his associate, is a gentleman
bearing credentials equally as notable as
his own. and has advanced steadily with
him, and the practice In the specialues TO
which they devote themselves reaches IN
round numbers u, 900 cases annually.
II will be seen. therefore. that they're
establishing themselves tn Seattle. which
they have done because Of the location
and easy accessibility to patients from
the North. South and East, is by no means
an unimportant event.
