the embrace of the oppoiHion to Us ohiet
It waa this opposition, led by men of inch
ronsnmmate ability as Wade, of Ohio, and
Henry Winter Davis, of Maryland, that
rdmonisbed Lincoln of the necessity of put
tine himself in the strongest possible atti
tude for the then admittedly doubtful bat
tle of '64. Theopenincofthenew year of
61 called for large drafts of men to fill the
thinned ranks of the Union forces, and there
as a powerful undertow of despondency
among the loyal people of the Korth. The
var was costing 53,000,000 a dav, and after 3
years of bloody conflict the end was not in
view. The Republican leaders were di
vided in councils, and verv many of the
ablest of them regarded the" defeat of the
party as more than probable. The one man
who fully understood the peril and studied
carefully how to arcrt it was Abraham
Lincoln.
He Belled on Wax Democrats.
Lincoln, as was his usual custom, con
sulted with all who came within his reach
and developed his views from time to time
with extreme caution. In the early part of
the year he reached the conclusion that it
would be eminently wise to nominate a
conspicuous war Democrat for Vice
President along with himsely for President.
A number of prominent men who acted with
the Democratic party in 1S60 against
Lincoln's election, but who patriotically
entered the military service and won
distinction by their heroism, represented a
very large class of Democratio voters upon
whom Lincoln felt he must relv for his
re-election. Hamlin had been a Democrat,
but he did not come under the class of war
Democrats; while Butler, Dix, Dickinson,
Johnson, Holt and others represented a
distinctive and very formidable class of
citizens who, while vet professing to be
Democrats, were ready to support the war
under Lincoln until it should be successfully
terminated br the restoration of the Union.
Lincoln's first selection for Vice Presi
dent was General Butler. I be'ieve he
reachtd that conclusion without specially
consulting with any of his friends. As
early as March, 1S& he sent for General
Cameron, to whom he proposed the nomina
tion of Butler, and that, I assume, was his
first declaration of his purpose to anyone
on the subject. He confided to Cameron
the mission to Fortress Monroe to confer
confidentially with Butler. On that jour
ney Cameron was accompanied by ex-Congressman
William H. Armstrong, of Penn
sylvania, who was first informed of the real
object of Cameron's visit when they were
returning home, and after Butler had de
clined to permit his name to be considered.
Geueral Rntler Declined Peremptorily.
Butler was at that time a strong man
in the loyal State. He had not achieved
great military success, but his administra
tion in Xew Orleans had made him univer
sally popular throughout the North, in
which the vindictive vituperation of the
Southern people heaped upon him was an
important factor. Butler's declination "as
peremptory, and Cameron returned home
without learning in what direction Lincoln
would be likely to look for a candidate for
Vice President.
In a later conference with Cameron, in
which the names of Johnson, Dickinson
and Dix were seriously discussed. Lincoln
expressed his preference for Johnson, to
whicn Cameron, with unconcealed reluct
ance, finally absented. While Lincoln at
that time decided in favor of Johnson he did
not himself regard it as final. His extreme
caution and exceptioual saracitv made him
carefully consider all possible weak points
in Johnson's candidacy before he launched
the movement for his nomination He
summoned General Sickles to Washington,
Fcnt him to Tennessee on a confidential
mission to examine and make report to
him of the nieces of Johnson's administra
tion as Military Governor. That State was
in a revolutionary condition; Johnson was
charged with violent and despotic official
acts, and Lincoln meant to know fully
whether Johnson might, by reason of his
edministration, be vulnerable as a national
candidate. Sickles had no knowledge of
the real purpose of his mission. The ques
tion of nominating Johnson for the Vice
Presidency was never suggested or even in
timated to Sickles, and lie fulfilled his trust
and reported favprably on Johnson's ad
ministration without even a suspicion that
he was to determine the destinv of Andrew
Johnson, make him Vice President of the
United States, and thus President.
Coaming on Insurgent States.
Lincoln's purpose in seeking Johnson as
his associate on the national ticket in '64
was much more far reaching than any but
himself at the time supposed. He meant to
guard against possible defeat by getting a
number of the insurgent States in some sort
ofline to enable their Electoral votes to be
counted il needed. His most promising ex
periment was in Tennessee under the guid
ance of Johnson, but he obviously intended
that the States of Louisiana, Arkansas and
West Virgii ia, with Tennessee, should be
organized with the semblance of full State
hood to make their Electoral votes available
shoul I the national contest he close. Had
he developed this policy to his partv or to
Congress it would havebeen met with posi
tive and aggresive opposition, but he de
veloped it in the quietest way possible.
His first movement in that line was to
have delegations elected to the National
Contention from the Southern States
named, and when they appeared at the Bal
timore Convention on the 7th of June the
battle for their admission was led with con
rummate skill by the few who understood
Lincoln's policv. Tennessee being in the
strongest attttude, the delegation from that
State was selected on which to make the
fight. It as desperately contested because
it was then well understood to mean the
nominaiion of Johnson for Vice President,
but the Tennessee delegates were admitted
by more than a two-thirds vote. With
Tennessee accepted as entitled to represen
tation, the contest was ended and Louis
iana and Arkansas were given the right of
representation without a serious struggle.
D;dn't Need Tlielr Totes.
When Congress met again after the elec
tion in November, and when Lincoln's elec
tion byan overwhelminglypopularas well as
Electoral vote was assured, the question of
counting the electoral votes of Louisiana,
Teuncss'-c ard Arkansas was raised and
elaborately discussed in both branches. As
Lincoln had "12 Electoral -otes to 21 tor
McClellan, exclusive of the votes of the
three insurgent Slates referred to, there
was no political necessity to induce Con
gress to strain a point for the acceptance of
these votes; anil a joint resolution was
finally passed declaring "that no valid elec
tion lor Electors of President and Vice
President of the United States" had"been
held in Louisiana, Tennessee and Arkansas.
Lincoln approved the resolution, but took
occasion by special message to disclaim ap
proval of the recital of ihe preamble. Had
the votes of these three States been needed
to elect a Kepublican President. I hazard
little in saying that they would have been
treated as regular and lawful and counted
with the approval of both the Senate and
House; as tliey were not needed and as the
development of these States was Lincoln's
own conception, those who were not spe
cially friendly scored an empty victory
against him.
He moved with masterly sagacity at every
step in his efforts to nominate Johnson, and
his selection of General Cameron as earlv
as March to be his first embassador in search
of a var Democrat for Vice President was
not one of the least of his many shrewd con
ceptions. The relations between Lincoln
end Cameron had been somewhat strained
by Cameron's retirement from the Caainet
InlSGZ
Cameron Wooed and Won.
At least Lincoln assumed that they
might be somewhat strained on the part of
Cameron, and he took early caution to en
list Cameron in his renomination. He
knew the power of Cameron in the manipu
lation of discordant political elements, and
he fully appreciated the fact that Cameron's
skill made him a dangerous opponent He
bound Cameron to himself by making him
one of his trusted leaders in'thc selection of
a candidate for Vice President.
The man who was probably closest to
Lincoln in this movement was Henry J.
Ravmond, but in this as in all Lincoln's
movements his confidence was limited with
each of his trusted agents. Raymond was
then editor of the only prominent New York
journal that heartily supported Lincoln;
and he, with the aid of Beward and Weed,
who early entered into the movement for
the nomination of Johnson, overthrew Dick
inson in his own State and was the con
fessed Lincoln leader in the Baltimore con
vention of 6t With Dickinson beaten in
New York and with Hamlin's forcesde
moralized earlv in the contest, the nomina
tion of Johnson was easilv accomplished,
chiefly because it was what Lincoln'desired.
Neither Swett nor , Lanion had any knowl
edge of Lincoln's positive movementfor the
nomination of Johnson until within a day or
two of the meeting of the convention. Colo
nel Lamon has recently given a description
of the scene between Lincoln. Swett and
himself a day or two before they
went to Baltimore to aid in Lincoln's re
nomination. Swett earnestly and even
passionately protested against the
overthrow of Hamlin, but after
hearing Lincoln fully on the subject, he
consented to go to the convention, in which
he was a delegate from Illinois, and support
the nomination of Johnson, but he wisely
declared Holt to be his candidate, ai a foil
to protect Lincoln.
Eept Himself In the Background.
Swett naturally felt uncertain as to how
the suggestion of Johnson's name would be
received at Baltimore, aa he had no knowl
edge of the extent to rrliich Lincoln had
progressed in the Johnson movement. In
answer to his inquiry whether he was at
liberty to say that Lincoln desired John
son's nomination, Lincoln answered in the
negative, and, as quoted by Colonel Lamon,
in a recent public letter, said: "No, I will
address a letter to Lampn here embodying
my views, which vou, McCInre and other
friends may use, if it be found absolutely
necessary; otherwise it may be better that I
shall not appear actively on the stage of this
theater." The letter was written by Lin
coln and delivered to Lamon, who had it
with him at Baltimore, but, as there was no
occasion for using if, it was uever shown to
any one, and was returned to Lincoln after
the convention, at his request.
How shrewdly Lincoln moved, and with
what extreme caution he guarded his confi
dence, is well illustrated by the fact that
while he consulted Cameron confidentially
about the nomination of Johnson some
months before the convention, and con
sulted me on the same subject the day be
fore the convention met, neither of us sup
posed that the other was acting in the
special confidence of Lincoln. On the con
trary, I supposed that Cameron was sin
cerely friendly to Hamlin, and would battle
for his renomination, until he finally pro
posed to me the night before the convention
met that we give a solid complimentary vote
to Hamlin, and follow it with a solid vote
for Johnson.
Didn't Tell Colonel McClore AIL
Another evidence of his extreme caution
in politics is given by the fact that while he
carefully concealed from both Cameron and
myself the fact that the other was in his
confidence in the same movement, he sur
prised me a few weeks before the conven
tion by sending for me and requesting me
to come to the convention as a delegate at
large. I had already been unanimously
chosen as a delegate from my own Congres
sional district, and was amazed when I in
formed Lincoln of that fact, to find that he still
insisted upon me going before the State Con
vention and having myself elected as a
delegate-at-large. To all my explanations
that a man in the delegation was good for
just what he was worth, whether he repre
sented the district or the State, Lincoln per
sisted in the request that I should come as a
delegate-at-large.
When I finally pressed him for an ex
planation of what seemed to me to be a
needless request involving great embarrass
ment to me, he finally with evident reluc
tance answered: "General Cameron has as
sured me that he will be a delegate-at-large
from your State, and while I have no rea
son to question his sincerity as my friend,
if he is to be a delegate-at-large from Penn
sylvania, I would very much prefer that
vou be one with him." Had he been will
ing to tell me the whole truth he would
have informed me that Cameron was en
listed in the Johnson movement, and that
he specially desired at least two of the dele-gates-at-larire
representing opposing fac
tions, to be active supporters of Johnson's
nomination. There could be no other rea
sonable explanation. A fortunate com
bination of circumstances made it possible
for me to be elected without a serious con
test, Cameron and I receiving nearly a
unanimous vote.
Successes to the Field.
Lincoln realized the fact that the chances
were greatly against his re-election nnless
he should be saved by the success of the
Union army. There was no period from
January, 1861, until the 3d of September of
the same year, when McClellan would not
have defeated Lincoln for President. The
two speeches of that campaign which turned
the tide and gave Lincoln his overwhelming
victory were Sherman's dispatch from At
lanta on the 3d of September, saying: "At
lanta is ours and fairly won," and
Sheridan's dispatch of the 19th of Septem
ber Irom the valley saying: "We have just
sent them (the enemy) whirling through
Winchester and we are after them to-morrow."
From the opening of the military cam
paign in the spring of '64 until Sherman
announced the capture of Atlanta, there
was not a single important victory of the
Union army to inspire the loyal people of
the country with confidence in the success
of the war. Grant's campaign from the
Rapidan to the James was the bloodiest in
the history of the struggle. He had lost
as many men in killed, wounded and miss
ing as Lee ever had in front of him, and
there was no substantial victory i:i all the
sacrifice made by the gallant Army of the
Potomac. Sherman had been fighting con
tinuously four months without a decisive
success. The people of the North had be
come heart sick at the fearful sacrifice
which brought no visible achievement.
Lincoln Was Foil or Doubt.
Democratic sentiment had drifted to Mc
Clellan ns the opposing candidate, and so
profoundly was Lincoln impressed by the
gloomy situation that confronted him, that
on the 23d of August, seven days before the
nomination of McClellan, and ten days be
fore the capture of Atlanta, he wrote the
following memorandum, scaled it in an en
velope and had it indorsed by several mem
bers of the Cabinet, including Secretary
Welles, with written instructions that it
was not to be opened until after the elec
tion. Executive Mass.oh,
Waeuixbtos, Aug. 23, ISC.
This morning, as for some days past, it
seems exceedingly probable that this ad
ministration will not be re-elected. Then It
tv ill bo mv duty to co-operate with the President-elect
so as to save tho Union, between
the election and the Inauguration, as ha will
have secured his election on such grounds
that he cannot possibly save it afterward.
A. LI5COLN.
I spent an hour with Lincoln in the Ex
ecutive chamber Eome ten davs before he
wrote the memorandum, and I never saw
him more dejected in my life. His face, al
ways sad in repose, was'then saddened until
it became a picture of despair, and he spoke
of the want of sincere and earnest supporf
irom tne itepubiican lea ers with unusual
freedom, t distinctly remember of his refer
ence to the fact that of all the Republican
members of the House he could name but
one in whose personal and political friend
ship he could absolutely confide. That one
man was Isaac N. Arno'ld, of Illinos. Ste
vens, the" Great Commoner of the war,
while sincerely desiring Lincoln's re-election
because he hated McClellan worse than
he hated Lincoln; and because he felt that
the election of Lincoln was necessary to the
safety of the Union, was intensely bitter
against Lincoln personally, and rarely
missed an opportunity to thrust his keenest
invectives upon him.
Lincoln's Proposition of Compromise.
At this interview Lincoln seemed to have
but one overmastering desire, and that was
to attain peace on the basis of a restored
Union. He took from a corner in his desk
a paper written out in his own handwrit
ing, proposing to pay to the South 400,
000,000 as compensation for their slaves on
condition that the States should return to
their allegiance to the Government and ac
cept emancipation. I (.hall never forget the
emotion exhibited by Lincoln when, after
reading this papej to me, be said:
"If you could only get this proposition
before the Southern people I believe they
would accept it, ana I have faith that the
Northern people, however startled at first,
would soon appreciate the wisdom of such a
settlement of the war. One hundred days of
war would onst ns the S400.000.000 1 would
propose to give for emancipation and are
stored Republic, not to speak of the price
less sacrifice of life and the additional
sacrifice of property, but were I to make
this offer now, it would defeat me inevita
bly, and probably defeat emancipation-"
I had no personal knowledge of Lincoln's
purpose to nominate Johnson for Vice Pres
ident until the day before the Baltimore
Convention met "He telegraphed me to
visit Washington before attending the con
vention, and I did so. He opened the con
versation by advising me to give my vote
and active support to Johnson as his asso
ciate on the ticket. It was evident that he
confidently relied on my willingness to ac
cept his judgment in the matter. I had ex
Iiected to support the renomination of Ham
iu. I had little respect for Andrew John
son, and of all the men named for the posi
tion, he was the last I would have chosen if
I had been left to the exercise of my own
judgment It is more than probable that I
would have obeved the wishes of Lincoln,
even if he had not presented the very strong
ana, indeed, conclusive reasons lor nis re
quest; but after hearing the arguments
which had led him, to the conclusion that
Johnson should be nominated as his asso
ciate, I was quite as ready to accept the
wisdom of tne proposition as to obey the
wishes of the President
His Reasons for Wanting Johnson.
There was not a trace of bitterness, preju
dice nor even unfriendliness toward Hamlin
in all that Lincoln said about the Vice
Presidency, and he was careful to say that
ho did not desire the nomination of Johnson
to gratify any personal preference of his
own. He preferred Johnson for two rea
sons, which he presented with unanswerable
clearness. First, he was the most conspicu
ous, most aggressive and the most able of all
the war Democrats of that time, and was
just in the position to command the largest
measure of sympathy and support from that
very important political element Dix,
Dickinson, Butler and Holt had made no
6uch impressiveexhibition of their loyalty
as had Johnson in Tennessee. He was just
then in the midst of his great work of re
habilitating his rebellious State and restor
ing it to the Union, and his loyal achieve
ments wore therefore fresh before the peo
ple' and certain to continue so during the
campaign. Second, the stronger and more
imperative reason was that the great
peril of the Union at that
day was the recognition of the Confed
eracy by England and France, and every
month!s delay of the overthrow of the re
bellious armies increased the danger. Ex
traoidinary efforts had been made by Lin
coln to stimulate the Union sentiment, es
pecially in England, but with only moder
ate success, and there was no safety from
one day to another against a war with Eng
land and France, that would have been
fatal to the success of the Union cause. The
only possible way to binder recognition
was to show successful results of the war in
restoring the dissevered States to their old
allegiance, and Lincoln was firmly con
vinced that by no other method could the
Union sentiment abroad be so greatly in
spired and strengthened as by the nomina
tion and election of a representative South
ern man to the Vice Presidency from one of
the rebellious States in the very heart of
the Confederacy.
Necessary to Conceal His Movements.
The fact that Lincoln did not make known
to Hamlin and his friends his purpose to
nominate another for Vice President in '64,
does not accuse him of deceit nor insincerity;
and the additional fact that when the con
vention was in session and he was asked for
a categorical answer as to his position on
the Vice Presidency, he declined to express
his wishes or to avow his interference with
the action of the party, cannot be justly
construed into political double dealing. It
was quite as much a necessity for Lincoln to
conceal his movements for the nomination
of Johnson as it was, in his judgment, a
necessity for him to nominate a Southern
man and a war Democrat, and he simply
acted with rare sagacity and discretion in
his movements and with fidelity to the
country, the "safety of which was paramount
with him.
Hamlin was profoundly grieved over his
defeat, as were his many friends, and had
they seen the hand of Lincoln in it, they
would have resented it with bitterness; but
Hamlin himself was not fully convinced of
Lincoln's opposition to his renomination
until within two years of his dea h. I have
in my possession an autograph letter
from Hamlin to Judge Pettis, of Pennsyl
vania, to whom Lincoln had expressed his
desire for Johnson's nomination on the
morning of the day the convention met, in
which he says that he had seen and heard
statements relating to" Lincoln's action in
the matter, but he did not believe them un
til the evidence had lately been made con
clusive tu bis mind. In this letter he says:
"I was really sorry to be disabused." A'nd
he adds: "Mr. L. (Lincoln) evidently be
came somewhat a'armed about his re-election,
and changed his position. That is all i
care to say." I have thus the conclusive
evidence from Hamlin himself, that in Sep
tember, 1889, he had full knowledge of Lin
coln's direct 'intervention to nominate John
son for Vice President in '64. Hamlin
gave an earnest support to the ticket, be
lieving that the supreme sentiment of Re
publicanism had set him aside in the inter
est of the public welfare. He maintained
his high position in the party for many
years thereafter, filling the office of Collec
tor of Portland and subsequently returning
to the Senate, where he served until he had
passed the patriarchal age and then volun
tarily retired to enjoy the calm evening of a
well spent life. A. K. McCltjke.

Eye Burnt by Hot Steel.
While working at the rolls in the mill at
Hubbard, O., Mr. Samuel Murphy was hit
in the eye by a flash of melted steel, forcing
its way between and under the lids, where
it remained until chilled, burning to a
crisp all it touched, a spot the size of a pea
over the pupil being as brown as a crust of
bread. All who saw it pronounced the eye
lost, and the physicians consulted advised
immediate removal of the eye.
A triend who had been through a similar
experience and cured by Dr. Sadler, 804
Penn avenue, advised consulting him first,
which was done. The doctor took him to
his own home, where he gave him the
strictest attention day and night, many
times up with him three and four times
after retiring. Yesterday Mr. M. returned
home, his eye nearly healed and perfectly
comfortable, able to see to recognize per

was again proven to be at least partially
trne yesterday in the Quarter Sessions
Court Love in a cottage is all well enough
if the parties who love in this

Nelson said he hadn't much to say,
further than that he was unable to meet the
demands of Mrs. Nelson for the conduct and
prosecution of the war, and when she told
him to go he went, but had since looked in
occasionally to 6ee how the family pro
gressed, and had contributed all le had left
after maintaining the vital spark in his own

amounted to $5 expended in groceries, and
he had also paid for a load of

Nelson admitted to Judge Ewing that
he drank a little beer, but His Honor in
sisted in knowing how much and Mr. Nel

average two glasses a day. On this the
Court made a calculation on the basis of 70

cents a week being ?36 40 per year would
go a considerable way toward oiling the

they bilked of using mo for a skeleton at
Initiations. I wrote you, began treatment
with you, and I just cannot draw a com
parison between how I am now and what I
was when I began. I sleep well, cannot get
enough to eat, feel years younger,- and pur

owe it to you. I do not know what other

WHO MERITS, WINS.
SUCCESS GOES TO THOSE WHO
SERVE IT BY THEIR WORK.
DE-
Sneeess to Be Permanent Must Have the
Publlo Confidence and Publlo Confi
dence Goes Alone to Genuine Skill and
Unassailable Truthfulness Looking
Backward Over Throe Tears.
It Is a genuine pleasure for a.wrlter to deal
with success. It is even a greater pleasure
to deal with success that Is deserved that is
won tairly and honestly. When one.writinz
to the public, knows that that which' he de
scribes lias merit, that the merit is prove'd
and appreciated by the public, that the pub
lic L-ains by that merit, there is a genuine
pleasure in his work his convictions go
with It, he writes of what he knows is true,
and lie knows that what ho writes will have
the sanction and apnroval of hundreds of
readeis, who have already proved and at
tested its truth by personal experience.
The success of Dr. Copjland and his ass
ciates in this community is the resnlt of
methods that deserve success. Genuine
skill, honesty, frankness and fearlessness
mean succesain anv community.
Tuat success they are proud of, but they
are prouder still or the tact that it has been
accomplished by fair, open, straightforward
methods without recourse to trickery or
scheming of anv kind.
They came into this community
Three Tears Ago,
And placed before the publlo the record of
tl elr professional training and experience,
the special lines of practice for which by
special study and special practice and ex
pel ienre tliey had fitted themselves. De
siring that their credentials and training
should be at once recognized 'by local au
thority, they resorted to no snbterlnges or
evasion in registration, but appeared at
once before the examinors of tho West Penn
Medical College of thb city, offered their
credentials irom Bellevue Uo-ipital College
of New York, submitted to the rigorous and
severe examination in medicine and sur
gery imposed by the local college, received
upon their diplomas upon passing that ex
amination the lormal wiitten endorsement
of the chair of that colWe and then placed
the names before the pjblio in the news
papers. What their success has been In the three
years tnat havo expired since that time.
residents of Pittsburg and Western Pennsyl
vania know. It lias been far beyond the
most sanguine expectations of the phy
sicians themselves, or their warmest friends.
Moderate Fees, Careful, Conscientious and
Skillful Treatment.
Earnestness in their work, and tmthful
ness in their consultations w itli their pa
tients, as well as in their statements in the
newspapers. Around these cluster the
causes of their success.
Two years ago, when It became generally
known to the public that Dr..Copolandand
his associates were doing the largest special
practice that was over carried on in the two
cities, enemies (for they hat e enemies, as all
successful men have) shook their heads
wisely and said: "Oh, that's advertising. Any
one who advertises can get business, but it
won't last. You'll see. .It won't last."
Yes; but it has lasted. Our Friend, the
enemy, is mistaken. It has
Not Only Lasted, but Increased,
and toMay the practice of Drs. Copeland
and Hall is more than three times as lurge
as It ever was before.
Why has it lasted? Why, bless yon, there
is no secret about it. It has lasted and en
dured, and increased, because Drs. Oopeland
and Hall have, and hold and keep, the con
fidence of the publio, the confidence of their
paticnU.
They have the confidence because they
are skillful in their special lines of prac
tice skilllul as long years of study and ex
perience and practice can make them. They
have this confidence because they tell the
truth. Thev nre what they claim to be.
They accomplish what they promise. They
make no statements that are not true, that
they cannor support. .
The record of every day of their work in
this community has shown that they caro
more for the confidence of the community,
for a position that is permanent and abiding
than lor a temporary advantage, or a fleet
in ir and transitory success.
Their position is strong because it has
truth behind it. Their practice is wide and
extensive because it has skill behind it.
They have the confidence of the public;
first, because theyHiave never taken a false
position or done anything to lose that con.
lldence: second, because it has been dem
onstrated again and again that they are
doing good in the community.
It doesn't need any demonstrations to
show that

skillful, painstaking and thoroueh work in

A FREQUENT DIFFICULT-
Which Every Skillful and Successful Spe
cialist Has to Contend With.
"About two years ago," said a patient who
was dismissed, as cured, from the offices 01
Dr. Copeland and his associates la't August,
"I took treatment ot these physicians.
was treated for two months, and althomrn i
made some improvement, I discontinuea
treatment against theiradvice, they advis
ing me to continue until completely and
permanently cured. Well, in a short time
the trouble came back on me worse than
ever. Last April I again placed lnyseir un
der treatment, determined to give them a
fair trial and obtain a complete cure, if cure
was nossilile. In two months I thought I
was nearly well, but they insisted on my re-
they dismissed me ns completely nn"Pr'
manently cured. I have never had the
slightest return of the symptoms. The
speaker was L. E. Brand, a well-known river
man.
Mr. Brand's ense involves one of the chler
difficulties that skillful and conscientious
physicians have to contend with. Patients
will often discontinue their treatment befoi e
the prescribed time, or become irregular
and neglectful regarding the same, and then,
01 course, tne uoctoris to Do uiameu iui huh
accomplishing a cure. The unreasonable
ness of this is apparent to all fair minuea
people. It takes from two to four months
to cure catarrh, and the physician who
promises to accomplish a cure in less time
is promising to do something-whlch he can
not do.
HAD NO AMBmolC.
He Grew Weak. Nervous, Had a Dull Feel
ing In Head, Waked Tired in Morning,
Became Constipated, Felt Miserable, Old.
Mr. Wm. T. P.iff, watchman at the Sixth
Street bridge and a well-known resident of
Allegheny, makes the following statement
in regard to his trouble which had annoyed
him for five years.
He said: "I had become disc uraged and
given upall hope oreverbeingmyselfagain.
My nose would stop up. Mv eyes wore weak
and sore. My cars were affected. My hear
ing was impaired. I had a dull heavy feel
ins in mv head, and my neck was so sore and
stiff that I could scarcely turn my head.
"I had no relish for lood. What I ate did
me no good. My toneue was always coated.
My bieath had an offensive smell, and I was
troubled with constipated bowels.
I seemed to sleep pretty well, but I was
tired and unrefreshed In the morning. As I
could not eatlbecamo weak and nervous,
and as time wore away I grew worse and felt
miserable and old. I had no ambition to do
anything.
"I had heard and read of the cures made
by Drs. Copeland and Hall, and decided to
visit their office and give tliem a trial, and I
am glad that I did, for I steadily improved
from the start. The symptoms I have men
tioned have all passed away and I feel to-day
that I am myself again.
"I feel liee to annonnce my case to the
Enblic, that some ono who has suffered as I
ave may le benefited. I can cheerfully
recommend Drs. Copeland and Hall to any
of the afflicted who desire a physician.
TTTB CONFIDENCE REWARDED.
Mr. Patrick Gorman, M 1013 Penn Avenue,
Has the Following to Say ot His Catarrhal
Tronble and Source of RelleC
"I have been troubled for years with a bad
case of nasal catarrh. I had several frontal
headaches, stuffed-up noe, weak eyes, ore
throat, tired leellng in the morning, and all
the other symptoms that usually prevail. I
had distres-lng stomach symptoms, due to
the poisonous mucus finding its way into
that or.'nn during lepose. I did not have
the energy and ambition I had when in
health.1
"I have tried doctors and so called reme
dies, but they did. me but very little good.
Finally, atter having read the overwuelm
Ing number of statements of persons being
cured by Drs. Copeland and Hall, concluded
to try them. After examining me, they told
me frankly what they could hope to do for
me and I began their treatment. The reme
dies seemed to reach the disease trom the
start and I began to im rove. I feel better
now than I have felt for years, I have im
plicit confidence in tho doctors and cannot
recommend them too highly, for they have
miers lor me.

Mr. Peter Eouth, a well-known grocer
of Fifth avenue, Homestead, says: "My
head and noso appeared to be con
stantly clogged up and full, and I had dull
heavy pains oyer my eye, my throat was
d-y and sore and the -mucus dropping from
the back part or my head into my throat
