    WHY IT HAS OUTLIVED
ALL OTHERS.
The People Have Judged the Copeland Practice by Results, by the Character of the Cures---Why,
the Most Dangerous Diseases Are Only Detected by the Skill of Really Great Physicians.
A Lesson for Those Who Trust Their Lives to Inferior Doctors and Patent Medicines.
To the people the danger from a
given disease is measured by the pain
and annoyance that it gives, while the
fact is that often the most dangerous
and fatal illnesses are marked by the
mildness of their beginning and their
comparative freedom from pain and
annoyance. On the other hand the
least dangerous afflictions often cause
distress far beyond their gravity.
The test of a doctor’s skill depends on
his ability to distinguish fatal disease
before it has secured such a fatal hold
the patient as to be hopeless. Ability
used at such a time will cure. It all
depends in such cases whether the
proper doctor is consulted. If a doctor
without ability or a patent medicine is
relied on the most dreadful results are
liable to follow.
The people see doctors and medicines
with big reputation falling out of sight,
while the fame of a few doctors con
tinues to increase, and sooner or later
the people learn that those doctors aud
advertised remedies who fail and d s
appear lack’he necessarry merit that
survives tbe test of time.
The reputation of the Copeland prac
tice has lasted through years because
of the ability of its physicians to dis
tinguish disease, together with the
necessary knowledge properly applied
to make cures.
It is by the superior quality of the
Copeland practice that it has continued
while other practices have had their
dav and then disappeared from public
notice The majority of all those who
have given voluntary tribute to the
skill of the Copeiand practice had run
the gauntlet of patent medicines and
inferior doctrs. To them the Copelar d
treatment was the court of last resort.
They had wasted the time when a cure
was easy and had sought skillful treat
ment at Or. Copeland’s hands when a
cure was difficult. Still the cures in
such cases are numbered by hundreds
With all this tribute to superior skill
the one-tenth has not been told. These
terrible cases that meant consumption,
cancer, dropsy, total deafness which
have been checked, have not nor ever
will be told, for those thus snatched
from danger were often not aware
themselves of what had been accom
plished in their cases.

DYSPEPSIA AN NERVOUSNESS.
A Distressing Condition Caused By
Catarrh of the Stomach.
Mr. J. A. Hall, of the Southern Rail
way Co., whose address is 132 Smith
street, writes the following voluntary
testimonial:
“I wish to express my sincere thanks
for what you have done for me. After
taking your treatment for two months
I feel that it would be unjust if I did
not say that I have been cured of the
very worst case of catarrh imaginable,
laying me off from my work a great
deal of the time. I could not rest day
nor night. My head and eyes pained
me all the time. The disease had a
thorough hold on my entire system I
believe it would not have been long
before it would have caused consump
tion of the bowels. My stomach would
swell until it would s<=em to me it
would burst. My digestion was bad.
I was constipated nearly all the time
only when taking purgatives. I send
you this testimonial unsolicited, and if
you can use it for the benefit of others
who are troubled with this terrib e dis
ease, you have my hearty approval. If
any doubts, refer them to me. I will
gladly give them any information de
sired.”
CATARRH OF HEAD, THROAT
AND BRONCHIAL TUBES.
Mrs. A. Boockholdt, of Birmingham,
Ala., writes: "For years I have been
troubled with a most disagreeable ca
tarrh of nose and throat, wjth a con
tinual headache coming down into face,
jaws and front of the head, buzzing in
the ears, annoying me greatly, no ap
petit-; I ate because I knew it was nec
essary rather than from a want of
f.> id- I took co d easily, the easiest;

file discharge; tired feeling, and in the
morning wretched in tbe extreme. I
did not sleep enough; my mouth was
filled with a think, slimy mucous, quan

from my throat. I was very much

MEL BRANCH’S MELONS.
Attracting Attention nt the Nashville Cen
tennlal.
In passing through the Georgia rail
road exhibit at the terminal building
in the centennial grounds, this morn
ing, the writer stopped before a new
exhibit, consisting of four magnificent
rattlesnake melons from the farm of
the Hon. M. I. Branch, near Berzelia,
Columbia county, Ga., and adjacent to
the line of the Georgia road. Many
melons are to be seen in Nashville;
many fine Kolb Gems are on exhibit
from Alabama ; but nothing like these
great striped beauties have yet been
shown.
In size they are superb, hut the chief
glory of these melons lies in the ex •
treme delicacy of flavor and in the rich
and luscious color of the fruit, surpas
sing as they do even their great rival,
the Kolb Gem, whose value is lessened
when compared to the rattlesnake by
the coarseness of its meat.
The grower certainly deserves un
stinted praise for the handsome speci
mens which he has sent, and they add
very materially to this already fine
exhibit. On all sides we hear it from
the visitors, “Oh, they are real Georgia
melons,” and they are correct, for
Georgia has long held the Banner for
producing the finest melons grown in
this country, and the visitor from the
north and west who have been so often
deceived into purchasing an inferior
quality of melon masquerading under
the name of Georgia has often express
ed surprise at seeing no specimens of
Georgia’s banner fruit on exhibit, and
to Mr. Branch is due the honor of sat
isfying this desire. So well has he
done it that with difficulty can the
melons be kept on exhibit, so eager
are dur friends to explore the hidden
depth of this luscious fruit and feast
on its delicate interior. On inquiry we
find that seventy acres of melons have
been planted this season near Berzelia,
Ga., of which Mr. Branch has forty-five
Tbe melon industry has never been
carried on extensively on the line of
the Georgia railroad, and until recent
ly no effort has been made to raise for
shipment, the farmers growing them
only for home consumption or for the
the local market; but the soil and cli
mate are both admirably adapted to
their successful production and more
attention is now being paid to their
growth for market.—Nashville Banner.

THE PEOPLE’S PARTY PAPER: ATLANTA, GEORGIA: FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 1897.
the weather was warm and pleasant. I
was greatly nauseated oftimes. On
April 28th I commenced treatment at
the Copeland Medical Institute.
“After a short course of treatment I
am entirely relieved of all the above
mentioned troubles. My catarrh is
cured; never have headache, cough is
stopped and I feel as though 1 had
never been afflicted with so dreadful a
disease. 1 conscientiously recommend
these doctors as gentlemen, as well as
able and skilled physicians.”
ENTIRE SYSTEM EFFECTED
BY RESULTS OF CATARRH.
Mr. P. M. Morris, a respected citizen
of Stockbridge, Ga., has this to say:
“When I began treatment under the
Copeland physicians several months
ago 1 had been suffering from ca’arrh
of the head, nose and throat for thirty
years. At first my main trouble was a
feelingl of fullness in the. head, and
headache, and a nasty dripping of mu
cons to the throat, caused by the stop
page of tbe nostrils. This kept me
always hawking and spitting. My
kidneys gave me a great c eal of trouble.
I was ent rely broken do«n. Could
not do any work at all scarcely. Walk
ing the sl’ghest distance would com
pletely exhaust me. Since taking their
treatment these affl ct>ons have le‘t
me, and I feel as well and as sound as
a man my age could feel When Ibe
gun treatment my weight was 145
pounds. Present we’ght 165 pounds I
cannot praise the Copeland physicians
too highly. I believe their system of
ereatment to be the best known. I
tried many others, but failed to get re
lief.”

signed “Andree” has been captured
near Logangsport, Ind. Under the left
wing was a parchment containing some
badly disfigured writing, out of which
could be deciphered only “August
25th pole,” and the signature “Andree.”
The bird was in an exhausted condi

EDUCATION.
The Populist Committee Want Ready Mon
ey and Speedy Men.
The busy season of education is now
at hand, both for the school house de
bating clubs and liteary societies of
the farming districts and the lecture
courses and club meetings of the cities.
At the very opening of the season is
the time of all times to push the cause.
It is between campaigns, when politi
cal prejudice is at a minimum that our
great work in education has been ac
complished, We desire to profit by
and improve upon experiences of the'
past.
Our cause did not get enough votes in
1896 to strangle the money power,
combines and trusts, and to get these
votes for 1900 no opportunity for mak
ing converts can be lost. Every Popu
list in America must pull off his coat
and do his level best. Pour your mon
ey in to tbe committee. Send a few
cents, send a dollar, ten dollars or a
hundred as you can. Send singly or
by clubs. The money will not be wast
ed and every contributor’s name will
be published in the Populist papers
that you may know the committee
gives you due credit and that you may
know that the money comes from
proper sources. Thus, if Hanna or any
member of the plutocratic combine
gives anything to corrupt the cause
you will know his name and postcffice
address.
No office-seekers with money are
backing this committee; no corpora
tions are contributing. The people
must save themselves if they are saved.
The committee needs $5,000 to use be
fore the holidays in sending out organ
izers and for printing and postage. It
seems a small sum to an old party or
ganizer perhaps but our money goes
further than theirs.
Send us the funds quickly and send
to us for plans or organization or any
help we can give.
We will assist in getting speakers
and literature of the best quality and
on the best terms, but our department
will devote its energies principally to
school house, club and educational or
ganization—to the making of converts.
This is the great work to be done. We
must have converts from the goldbug
ranks —honest converts. They cannot
he obtained by trades or political
strategy nor can we depend upon party
leaders. In truth, at present we have
no leaders, and it is to be hoped we
may not need them. Every man should
and must fight on his own hook and
fight hard.
Line up for battle again. Organize
a club at your school house or in your
own home. Though you get but four
or five together, organize. Then start
out for more and pull together, co-op
erate. Give all a chance to discuss the
issues with you. Republicans and
Democrats are now interested. Year
in and year out for many years the
reformers have striven to get substan
tial issues before the people and now
the money question, the trusts, the
strikes, the combines, postal savings
banks, initiative and referendum, tax
ation, monarchy, injunctions and the
price of crops are the themes of discus
sion in every corner of the nation.
More people are asking the ques
tions “what is the truth” and “where
shall we vote” than at any time in his
tory. We have accomplished the great
work and have now but to get tbe
people together. The time is ripe. Be
men for the emergency. Organize eve
ry precinct.
The salvation of this Republic hangs
upon the work to be done by the Pop
ulist party. The success of all the re
forms and the work of all political or
other organizations striving for reform
depends upon the energy and zeal of
our party and the nobility of character
and honesty of our workers.
Your committee want men willing to
organize a state, a county ora precinct.
The utmost speed is desired and who
ever can do a little with or without
salary should promptly address the
chairman.

“16 to I’’ Immaterial.
Chairman Jones of the Democratic
National Committee, in a recent inter
view, said : “The platform adopted by
the Maryland Democrats I regard as a
straight out and unequivocal declara
tibn for the restoration of bimetallism
as it existed prior to 1873. Hence no
significance can be attached to the
omission of the words ‘at a ratio of 16
to I.’ ” Then why, in the name of all
that is reasonable, did the Chicago
convention declare for the arbitrary
ratio ? If it had left out “at the ratio
of 16 to 1,” a great difference would
have been made in, the result. Does
Mr. Jones regard the proviso as imma
terial ? If he does he has abandoned
the primal contention ofcthe free-silver
party. If he is now in favor of the
commercial ratio—and that ratio was
close to the legal ratio prior to 1873”
he has abandoned the very doctrine of
an arbitrary ratio, which, having been
adopted at Chicago in 1896. caused the
tremendous Democratic loss and made
all the trouble. Mr. Jones, in common
with other free-silver advocates, was
warned not to recommend 16 to 1, but
he and they insisted that the Chicago
platform should so declare. Now he
says that no significance is to be at
tached to the omission of the phrase
from Maryland platform. What a
blessing it would have been to the
Democratic party if he had thought so
at Chicago in July 1896 !

Populists believe that law makesand
unmakes money ; that the value of the
dollar has no relation whatever to the
material out of which it is made ; that
the value is fixed by the number of
dollars in circulation, compared with
the demand by the people. Populists
believe that it is the duty of congress
to provide and. through the executive
department, keep in circulation a suffi
cient amount of money at the least
possible expense to the people.—South

Rest in Peace.
The sad news which comes from At
lanta of the death in that city yester
day of Capt. D N. Sanders, will cast a
gloom upon many a home in Georgia.
Wherever he was known he was loved
and honored; those who knew him
best loved him most —and as he was
known throughout the state, there is
statewide sorrow.
Captain Sanders was one of those
unassuming men, so rare, whose sterl
ing worth is surpassed by nothing ex
cept their modesty; who brave as a
lion are as gentle as a lamb, who are as
true as steel, yet not demonstrative in
their loyalty. Among the veterans whp
followed Lee there was none braver
than he; among the sons of Georgia
none truer than he to her interests;
among the reformers, none were more
consistent and steadfast than he.
When.the call was made to arms in
’6l Capt D. N. Sanders answered the
call and followed the Southern flag
over many a field of carnage and blood.
Several times he was wounded, and at
last on the field of Gettysburg he was
shot down inside the enemy’s lines and
taken prisoner. When peace was res
tored he returned to his home, where
since then, in various avocations, he
has done what he could to earn an hon
est living and build up the material in
terests of his state.
When the Reform movement started
in Georgia, he was one of its firmest
supporters as he was one of the first of
its advocates. In the councils of the
party his voice has had potential influ
ence. He was a delegate to all the
most important conventions, aud at the
time of his death was managing editor
of the People’s Party Paper.
Asa comrade and friend he was one
of those who beget confidence, whose
fidelity can never be questioned, and
whose shoulder can be counted on to
touch yours when the supreme test is
made. He was an honest man, the
noblest of God.
Farewell, comrade. Nobly have you
none your part You have fought a
good fight, now rest in peace. Though
it has pleased God to call you to your
reward before the final victory is won,
your example shall ever remain an in
spiration to us ; and as we bold your
memory dear, it shall serve to teach us
to be true as we knew you to be. —Au-

Convict* Have Keys to Cells.
An investigation of the penitentiary
system at Boise, Idaho, has developed
some astonishing facts. A number of
keys’have in some mysterious manner
Gillen in the possession of the convicts,
with which they can open their cell
doors. Drugs and other dangerous ar
ticles have been smuggled in to the
prisoners. Officials will thoroughly
investigate the matter.
Reid Gets Three Years.
Charles R. Reid who killed L. W.
Halstead in Macon last spring for an
alleged insult to Reid’s wife, was tried
last week, found guilty of voluntary
manslaughter and sentenced to three
years in the penitentiary.
Suit Against Bell Telephone Company.
Mary Meriwether, a negro woman,
has brought suit against the Bell Tele
phone Company to recover SIO,OOO for
the death of her husband who was
killed by lightning at Kirkwood three
weeks ago. He was standing near a
pole to which were attached tome tele
phone wires when killed and the fact
that the lightning first struck the wire
furnished the basis of the suit for dam
ages.
At first flush, it looks a little unrea
sonable to expect prosperity at the

Living Issues.
Fusion has killed all the Populist pa
pers in Ohio but two, the Advance
Guard, published at Defiance, and the
Commonwealth, at New Philadelphia
The Ohio Populists should rally around
these two papers and give them their
hearty support.
It was worth five years of an honest
Populist’s lifetime to see the readers
skin the fusionists in the Ohio state
convention.
The McLean men tried to run the
Ohio convention and when they failed
charged that Hanna bought it Even
the birds in Ohio know that McLean
and his henchmen did more to try to
control the action of the convention
than any one else.
The Spanish Inquisition in Cuba is
forcing the blush of shame to the faee
of modern vivisectionists while an en
lightened world looks calmly on “How

Women who drag through life weighed
down by some torturing, dragging weak
ness or disease of their sex are not doing
their full dpty to themselves. They are nos
taking the means which enlightened sci
ence affords them of being well and strong
and capable.
These special complaints from which so
many women suffer are not necessary. Dr.
Pierce'* Favorite Prescription positively
■ure* even the most severe and obstinate
ease*.

a “cure-all.” It is a scientific remedy de
vised by an educated and experienced spe
cialist for the one purpose of curing the
special diseases of women.
Tens of thousands of women have been
restored to perfect health by this wonderful
“Prescription.” In many instances they
were actually given up as hopeless by phy
sician,* and family doctors.
“ I have taken both your • Golden Medical Dis
covery and ' Favorite Prescription ' for chronic
inflammation of the uterua and bladder,” writes
Mrs. M. A. Scott, of Park Rapid*, Hubbard Co.,
Minn, ” I also had stomach trouble which was
terribly distressing. I have been cured of all. I
bad suffered untold misery for four years pre
vious to taking your treatment, but began to feel
the good effect pt once.”

A Valuable Discovery.
Editor People's Party Paper:
Dear Sib —Please let me say to my
relatives in Henry county and my
friends in Butts and Rockdale counties
that Dr. G. W. Jenkins of Dublin,
Laurens county, Ga., has discovered a
stuff that will drive away bedbugs
from the beds and the house. He is
selling county rights for SIO.OO. This
is no humbug. I have bought the
right to two counties. It will certain
ly drive the bugs %way. It is not poi
son, it will not stain the bedclothes or
the stead. If any of you should want
any rights write to him at once, inclos
ing a stamp.
If anybody should want to know who
Dr. Jenkins is, I will refer them tc the
ordinary of this county, Hon. Joe. M.
Fordham, or the clerk cf the superior
court, W. J. Hightower. As for me, I
will say that he is a gentleman.
To relatives and friends: My post
office is Reedy Springs, Laurens coun
ty, Ga. R. L. Jackson.
