LIKE A BLACK CLOUD.
Such Is the Array of Living Witnesses to the
Modern Wonder.
From One End of the Country the Other the Cured Patients of the
Copeland Medical Institute Testify to the Wonderful Accom-.
pishments of the New Copeland Treatment

From the earliest ages the symbol Of ne
cloud has been used TO signify something
that coaid not De disputed. The traveller
IN the lonely and heat-oppressed desert
could not fail TO see the cloud that for 4
time shielded aim from the scorching rays
OF the sun. and the relief il brought % his
heated blood was convincing evidence u
its actual presence and substantial char
acter. Likewise the sojournsr in the
mountains. whose vision was cut of by
forests and intervening hills, could see
the clcud hanging IN the sky. and by Il. 20
some extent. direct his course. Thus the
expression OF cloud OF witnesses came
10 signify a body OF testifiers SO numerous
IN bulk as 70 amount 20 great cloud IN
the sky. and in inlpysssiveness ana GER
tainty Of proof 10 equal the cloud IN the
effect or their evidence upon the human
understanding. Such IS the testimony OF
the multitude OF cured patients or the
Copeland Medical Institute, IN numbers
and il the earnes,ness OF their common
dation OF the skill of the Copeland physi-
clans. like the great. black cloud IN the
sky. something that cannot Do denied nor
hidden. They not only testify that the
Copeland physicians cured them after 9TH
ers had failed. but that their euro cost
them the merely nominal sum OF y
month, after they had spen; hundreds.
and in some cases thousands, OF dollars
in big doctors bills and for medicines
without relief. Testimony like this can
not be disputed. neither can the daily evil
dence OF the crowds that visit the lnsu-
tute for treatment and the hundreds OF
letters received from patients living al
distance and being cured by the Copeland
system OF home treatment.

Missed a First Class Funeral.

1t was hot day in August, and
the morgue in New York had a
single customer. On the boards
lay the body of an unknown man.
Poverty had nothing to do with
his death, says the New York Sun,
for his clothing was good and his
pockets were filled with silver
coin. The only fact of Importance
to the authorities vas that he was
dead and no one claimed his re-
mains.
As the hours passed men and
women crowded the morgue scar
ching for dead relations. A hun
dred eager eyes scanned the body
and passed on. At last recogni-
ton came. The telegraph sum-
moned men and women from
Pougbkeepsie. Seven brothers
and sisters hurried to New York
and wendell their way to the NOR
que. Tears filled their eyes as
they recognized the body of their
father. They were overwhelmed
with grief, albeit his death made
them rich.
Being dead, he must be buried
in splendor. High-priced under
takers came in, and the arrange
ments for the burial were made in
: stvle worthy of the exchequer OF
Louis XIV. No expense was spa.
red nothing was too good.

ket the mouth few open. Their

: "This is not our father. See, he
: has not teeth. Our father had ,
head full of them"

But without teeth he was not o
