WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 1922 PHYSICIAN URGED 10 USE PUBLICITY Noted Health Expert Chides Medical Profession For Secrets New York--Publicity, if properly given, would wipe disease off the face of the earth, in the opinion of Dr. Royal S. Copeland, Health Commis- sioner of this city, in an address be- fore the Advertising Club. | Advertising should be the medium the Health Commissioner declared, by which the hitherto dark secrets of the medical profession would be placed be- fore the public to prevent plague, dis- ease and pestilence. Dr. Copeland vigorously condemned the so-called "code of ethics" of doc- tors who make a secret of cures for various sicknesses. "Sort of Miracle Man." "The medical profession through the ages has chosen to make itself a secret thing," Dr. Copeland said warming up to his subject. "The doctor has been looked upon as a sort of a miracle man. He has hid- den his wisdom behind a veil of si- lence. An air of mystery has sur- rounded the profession, and we have developed a code of ethies. "This, I believe, is the most anti. quated, moss-covered and germ-laden institution in the world. To illustrate his contentions, the Health. Commissioner cited cancer, which, he said, is curable in the be- ginning of its growth. The public must be taught this, he declared. If more information were given by the medical profession about cancer the disease would never reach the can- cerous stage. Power of Advertising. The power of advertising was viv- idly shown by the publicity given to Dr. Adolph Lorenz the famous Vien- nese surgeon, Dr. Copeland continued. "Dr. Lorenz did not bring with him any greater ability than at least twenty surgeons in this city possess. Other doctors, Copeland stated, did 'not let the public know they could cure paralysis, and so the public remained in blissful ignorgn~~ ~f their ability. But when newspapers began to ox- ploit the feats of Dr. Lorenz 35,000 persons flocked to him to receive his treatment. "There is something wrong with the system that makes it impossible for the sick or the crippled person to know he can be healed," Copeland went on. "And the fault is with the medical profession, which has been unwilling to advertise what it can do."

MIRACLE STUDY HOLDS MEN'S CLASS INTEREST The Men's Sunday Morning Bible class has aroused unusual interest in its discussions on "The Old Testament Miracle." William Arye McKinney, class leader, opened the discussion last Sunday and many of the members expressed their points of view. Various other viewpoints will be brought to light by different men this Sunday, and Rev. James A. Richards will close the discussion with a state- ment of his own opinions. A large crowd is expected as the men are anx- ious to find a solution to the problem. | class | there being seventy men present.

This is the consensus of opinion The discussion is characterized as "friendly and reverent." The class did not select this topic with any desire to create a sensation it is explained, but simply because it presented itself naturally in the course of study which has been pre- scribed for the class. The matter is being discussed because the class does not desire to evade the issue.

The day of the $30-a-month steam-heated flat is gone forever, they say. In fact the only apartments that will come down appreciably in price, according to expert opinion, are those in the class of $5,000 a year or more, The firm of Pease & Elliman, which offers the most optimistic of rent prognostications, believes that the drop may even touch the class of homes renting at $1,200 a year. About the only ray of hope held out by the real estate experts is that if the steady building of new apart- ments is continued for eight or nine years, there may be a return to the near-normal.
