THEIR CREDENTIALS.

Dr. Copeland is a graduate of Bellevue Hos
pital Medical College of New York City, was
president of his class in that famous ipstitu-
tion, and after thorough hospital training and
experience devoted his time and attention to-
the special lines OF practice named. Passed
through similar course, DR.. J. q. Neal, who
has been for years associated with DR.. Cope

he received the appointment of resident
physician to the City Hospital. He
filled the position with honor and received the
medals for special excellence in various
branches OF medicine, and after graduation
was elected an adjunct professor OF his college.
They devote themselves entirely 10 the treat
ment of their specialties. Years of experience
of their special lines, preceded by extensive
hospital work, have fitted them in notable de-
gree for the practice OF their profession.

NEW TODAY.
The Difference.
the Line Between Advertising
Doctors and Doctors Who Advertise.
Institute Continues Despite the En-
nifty of Certain Doctors.

A lady who recently placed herself under
treatment with Drs. Copeland and Neal said:
al never would think Of going to advertising
doctors. l never did such thing in my life,
but have brother who is doctor and who
was a classmate of Drs. Copeland and Neal years
ago. He advised me 10 consult them, and toIs
lowed his advice"
To speak with entire frankness the lady was
right in her opinion OF advertising Doctors"
so-called, and the sentiment which she holds
by no means alone has good cause.
We have no fault to find with the sentiment.
The term advertising DOCTORS" as she used il,
and as it is used by intelligent and sensible
people, includes the whole wide range OF UNI
scrupulous, unprincipled and disreputable
quackery.
The phrase advertising doctors" has been
for years, and is still to great extent syno-
nym for quackery in its worst phases ana we
do not blame sensible, thinking ana lhtelllgeht
people for steering clear OF IT,
Drs COPELAND and Neal wish, however, To-
make one point very clear and very distinct:
There are advertising Doctors and doctors
who advertise, and there is a wide dlfference'
Advertising doctors, in the first place, ares
as a rule, no doctors at all. The large majority
of them have never seen the inside of medl-
cal college
Under the head of Advertising Doctors are
included all that class of unprinctpled ana UNI
scrupled men-usually uneducated and 1gnor-
ant men-who prey upon the sick and unIor>
nate. Their ways are only too well known 70
need description. They are often translents
travelling from place to place, irresponsible
and unprincipled- AS a rule they promise mir
aces, and by their cunning and FEASIBILITY,
extort large sums of money from the poorer
classes and those who can least AFFORD 10 Do
robbed.
There are advertising Doctors" and adver-
Using doctors as the term is used means fakirs.
There are doctors who advertise, .and in this
class are those genuine physicians ana specla4-
lists who have fulfilled all the regular require
ments of medical study and practice, who have
passed through the usual course OF medical
college and hospital study, and who have dee
voted their lives to certain lines OF practice
combining themselves to these special lines.
Their experience and their study have given
them special and pre-eminent skill in them,
and they choose the daily papers as means OF
letting the public know their 'specialties and
their success As conscientious physicians and
as honorable men they believe in advertising.
First in this class of doctors who advertise
their specialties are Drs. Copeland and Neal:
They state to the public some OF the results OF
their work-their location-their specfalties.
Their credentials, which challenge denial, are
before the people.
They say to the public from the basis of
printed columns containing many testimonials
from well-known men and women in this COM
munityI "This is the work we do. Theseare
the results we accomplish. We ask to be
judged by them"

he PREFERRED TO DIE.
BENJAMIN C0PSON STABBED HIM
SELF WITH A PAIR OF SHEARS.
AN OLD RESIDENT WHOSE AFFLIC-
TONS WERE DECLARED
INCURABLE.

After lingering for months and suffering
from the pangs of incurable disease, and
with the knowledge that death was liable
to claim him at any hour, Ben iamin Cop
son, an old resident and retired merchant
of this city, ended his own life yesterday
afternoon in very summary manner.
The scene of the suicide was an clubhouse
i'll the rear of BOG Fell street, where Mr..
Copson had made his residence for mum
Der of years. There, shortly after o'clock,
he stabbed himself in the heart with an
open pair of shears, making CHASTITY hole
in his breast.
For about five months past Mr. Copson
was under medical treatment with DR.. w.
D: Mccarthy for dropsical affection of the
heart and a complication of internal dis
orders, and although he received the best

indicated that he intended to anticipate the
arrival of the Destroyer by any act of his
own.
Late yesterday afternoon he was missed
from the house, and Mr.. Rope made
search Tor him, with the result that he was
horrlhed to find Mr.. Copson's dead body IN
the clubhouse. Not knowing how he had
dled, Mr.. Rope sent word to Carew d Eng
nSn, the undertakes on Van Ness avenue,
and Mr.. Carew responded. Upon exami-
nation he found the handles OF large pair
OF nlckel-plated shears protruding from
Mr.. Copson's breast

ana SO notified the Coroner. A deputy
arrived and took charge of the remains.
men found Mr.. Copson had not been
dead nall an hour. Death came to the
afflicted man instantaneously as the heart
was severed by one of the blades OF shears.
1t is supposed that while under the intiu-
ence OF paroxysms of pain Mr.. Copson de-
clded TO put an end to all. He took
the shears from table in the house,
and, gong to the clubhouse, half opened
them and then plunged them into his
breast up to the handles.
The deceased came to this city about
twenty years ago and opened a broom
manufacturing business on Davis street,
near Washington. He prospered and soon
amassed sufflelent money to retire on.
Among his effects were found bankbooks
showing that he had had about $4,000 in
the Peoples Home Savings Bank at the
time that institution failed. He also owned
the property at 969 Howard street, and had
money IN other banks. He had no family
nor relatives here, but leaves married
daughter In New York and relations in
England, OF which country he was a ma

CULTIVATE A BACK.
An "Air" Is the Best Endowment a
Woman Can Have.


Cultivate back. The styles of this win
ter are not meant for stoop-shouldered
persons or rounded backs OF course, such
women can try to wear them; but, no mat
ter how rich the gowns and wraps, they
will not have any style or "air" about their
appearance.
An "air" is the best endowment woman
may have. She may be rich, but failure
in appearance. She may be given face
like houri's, but if she hasn't an "air"
she isn't complete success.
One important feature of an 'air' is a
back" A "back" is within reach of al
most any woman. When you have learned
how to stand, every morning after your
bath take the correct standing position.
If you have chest weights use those. If
not throw the shoulders firmly back till
the blades almost meet. Do that a num-
Der of times. Then put them well back,
draw deep, full breath, and make the
rotary motion with the shoulder joint that
is made in rowing. Repeat this whole
programme dozen times
Preserve the correct position of the
knees, legs, back and shoulders when walk
ing, and remember to think while you are
walking and draw deep, long breaths very
often. Persist in this and you will be sur
prlsed to see the change in the shape OF
your back. Instead of padding the top of
the backs of your dresses because the
curves are low down even with the bust
line, your dressmaker will be compelled to
omit it and fit the backs of your dresses to
give you more breathing space.
You VIII be on the road to acquiring that
finely shaped back which is the reward of
women who spend dollars in gymnasiums
and swimming baths to acquire it. Insist,
moreover, that your dressmaker shall give

The fact is ''the settlement is in very
pleasant circumstances. Mrs. Emma G.
Harrison, the president of the Scientific
School of Cooking, and Mary Agnes Viii
son, the secretary, are in receipt of con-
slant succession of inquiries, by mail and
otherwise, concerning its progress and
purposes.
To these the simplest answers are: We
propose to show housewives how to make
the most of everything in the line of
edibles; how not only to cook but to pre-
pare and serve them; how to make the
most of bushel of potatoes and sack of

the plainest materials; how to bring con-
slant variety out of the same line of sup
plies; how to make the food digestible and

in the art of fancy and scientific cooking.
