Minneapolis, Mimi Especial =
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 besieged with crowds of men
and women eager to be cured of their
| ills.
Cooper is a quiet, gentlemanly per-
son, with the appearance OF student
rather than a business man. He is
apparently about thirty-one or two
years of age. He first came into pub
Tic notice by his philanthropic work
among the poor. The large fortune
ne possesses has made it possible for
him to distribute many wagon loads
OF food and clothing among those in
INDECENT circumstances since his
arrival in Minneapolis.
The first that was known of Cooper's
power over disease was when Mr.. E.
Pomerleau, living at No. 554 Eighth
Ave. N, trusted employee of the
Commutator Co. of No. 121 First
st. N, bought to Voegeli'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 Philanthropist. The
parasite measured 80 feet in length,
and when exhibited to the astonished
druggist was still alive and squirming
in the glass dish which contained it.
| Mr.. Pomerleau was greatly excited
and told the following remarkable
story: have been ill for long time.
Sometimes had voracious appetite,
and then there would be days when
could eat scarcely anything, and the
smell OF food nauseated me. 1 felt
tired all the time, and when coming
down town to my work felt as thong h
hardly had the strength to get back
home again, although was a strong,
robust man before was taken ill.
was irritable and had become so
nervous and Grabbed that could not
be agreeable or pleasant to any one
around me, and l felt so tired and
worn out all the time that 1 could not
perform my daily labor without the
greatest effort. l 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 tape
worm passed from my system; now l
know what has been troubling me all
this time.
Some people would not tell about a
matter of this kind, but l believe in
giving credit wherever credit is due,
and l want everyone to know what
Cooper has done for me. l would do
anything in my power for him, for 1
actually believe he has saved my life.
A few days after this Mr.. W. H.
McClurg, living at No. 26O1 Newton
Ave. N, reported that Cooper had
cured him of a severe case of Rheu-
matism and Stomach trouble. He
said: | have had stomach trouble
and Rheumatism for long time. 1
heard of a man who had been cured
of Rheumatism in one week by
Cooper. l did not believe there was a
medicine on earth that could cure me,
but decided to try him.
| 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 sign of it remains, and l feel as
we'll today as 1 ever did in my life. 1
seem to have been made over. 1 am
gaining rapidly in flesh, my appetite
is good and l can eat and digest any
kind of food. Cooper is a remarkable
man.
This was followed by the still more
remarkable cure of Mrs. Catherine
