Minneapolis, Mimi, Oct. 6.-(SpeciaD
The people of this city are greatly
excited over number of remarkable
cures which have been effected by a
wealthy philanthropist, who is known
as the Great Cooper.
His headquarters at Voegeli's Drug
store is beseiged with crowds of men
and women eager to be cured of their
ills.
Cooper, is a quiet, gentlemanly per-
son, with the appearance of q student
rather than a business man. He is
apparently about thirty-one or two
years of age. He first came into pub
lie notice by his philanthropic work
among the poor. The large fortune he
possesses has made it possible for
him to distribute many wagon loads OF
food and clothing among those in indi-
gent circumstances since his arrival in
Minneapolis.
The first that was known of Coop
er's power over disease was when Mr.
E. Pomerleau, living at No 554 Eighth
Ave. n, trusted employee of the Com
mutator company of No. l2l First ST.
n, brought to Voegeh's Drug store the
largest parasite or tape-worm ever seen
in this city, which he claimed had been
removed from his system by the Phil
anthropist. The parasite measured 90
feet in length, and when exhibited to
the astonished druggist was still alive
and squirming in the glass dish which
contained it.
Mr.. Pomereau was greatly excited
and told the following story: ] have
been i'll for a long time. Sometimes
had voracious appetite, and then there
would be days when 1 could eat scarce.
ly anything, and the smell of food
nauseated me. | felt tired all the time
and when coming down town to my
work felt as though | hardly had the
strength to get back home again, al.
though l was strong, robust man be-
fore l was taken i'll. / was irritable
and had become so nervous and grabbed
that I could not be agreeable or pleas
ant to any one around me, and | felt
so tired and worn out all the time that
l could not perform my daily labor
without the greatest effort. / was weak
and emaciated and my skin was sallow
| became moody and depressed in spirits
and was greatly worried about myself
My employer, Mr.. Ben Boneau, had
seen Mr.. Cooper in the East and said
he had effected many marvellous cures
there, and advised me to consult him
followed his advice and have been
taking Cooper's treatment less than one
week. Two hours ago this tapeworm
passed from my system; now / know
what has been troubling me all this
time.
Some people would not tell about a
matter of this kind, but I believe in Civ
ing credit wherever credit is due, and !
want everyone to know what Cooper
has done for me. / would do anything
in my power for him, for 1 actually be-
lieve he has saved my life.
A few days after this Mr.. w. H.
McClurg, living at No. 260l Newton
Ave. n, reported that Cooper had cured
him of a severe case of rheumatism and
stomach trouble He said: | have had
stomach trouble and rheumatism for a
long time. / heard of man who had
been cured of rheumatism in one week
by Cooper. I did not believe there was
a medicine on earth that could cure
me, but decided to try him.
I have been under his treatment for
less than two weeks and it has done
for me just what it did for the other
man. Every trace of rheumatism and
stomach trouble has disappeared, not a
sign of it remains, and I feel as well
today as | ever did in my life. 1 seem
to have been made over l am gaining
rapidly in flesh, my appetite is good
and l can eat and digest any kind of
food Cooper is remarkable man.
This was followed by the still more
cure of Mrs. Catherine Null
vihill, prominent lady living at No.
