Chinese history falls naturally into

H. In the first place, there were the be-
Slnnings of government. l could not
say how many parallels are found, in
that early day, between the experiences
OF >the Chinese and those of the early
Jewish people, They are many and
striking. The early Chinese had kings
who ruled them by kindness and who
seemed to think that thrones were CIV
en- by the Supreme Being. The people
at first believed in one God. They were
monotheists, If they afterward learned
idolatry it was from the outsiders, par
ticularly from India,

Think" said Mr.. Gardner, what a
theater has been here for the play of
human hopes, fears, passions and en-
lloitations for thousands of years, all
of which can be opened for contempla-
ton! China has been as much an en-
/ battled country through the centuries
as European lands. Once China was
divided into seven warning states, eve
ry one fighting all its neighbors
There have been royal plots, royal as
sassinations, gigantic wars, everything
on a grand scale. So to speak, the his
tory of a European country has beer

the globe as compared with this great
l&n6 and hoary old nation that has out
lived so many nations and may outline
many more great peoples"
Mr. Gardner will not publish any par
OF his history until he has completed it
which may be possibly fifteen years
hence. When his book of millions O
words finally is finished it will be as

Notwithstanding the phenomenal
success that has attended the Cope

of chronic diseases of all kinds
since the Copeland Medical Institute
was established in Seattle, and de-
spite the fact that their reputation
for skill, carefuInesS, fidelity to
their patients. and success in curing
diseases other physicians admit their
own inability to cure, has become
SO firmly established that they might
abandon the poor and devote them
selves To treating only those who
could afford TO pay big fees for their
services, they will still continue tn
give the benefit of their great skill
to all, rich and poor alike, for the
merely nominal fee of So a month,
and supply all medicine free. While
they are doing more good than
dozen charity hospitals, those who
receive the benefit of their marvel
Gus skill are not recipients of char
ity. They pay the full fee asked for
their treatment. 1t Is the regular
price, and the Copeland physicians
want no more. They do not feel that
their possession of special knOwi-
edge, skill and methods in the treat
ment of chronic diseases entities
them to demand such a fee as would
deprive the vast majority of suffer
Ing humanity of the opportunity to
be cured of their distressing maIa-
dies. On the contrary, they continue
to invite all who suffer from catarrh,
asthma, bronchitis, lung trouble,
stomach trouble, liver trouble. kid
ney trouble, diseases of the skin, or
any other desperate chronic ailment
or malady. to avail themselves of
this special skill at the same low
rate which has been paid by the
hundreds who have been cured by
them since the institute was estab-
Iished I'm Seattle. During this time N
great many who have been cured OF
diseases from which they have de-
SPARED of gaining relief, among

cured Is open to alI, for the Copeland
specialists will not follow the usual
course of physicians who gain "a spe-
ciaI reputation for skill and success
in treating chronic diseases, and
charge such fees as would exclude |
all but the rich from the beneht of |

to place the highest attachments of |
