Cooper's power over disease was
when Mr.. E. Pomerleau. living at
No. 544 Eight Ave. N, q trusted
employee Of the Commutator 60. on
No. i21 First st. NJ, brought to
Voegeli's Drug Store tho largest
parasite or tape worm ever seen IN
this CITY. which he claimed had
been removed from his system oy
the Philanthropist. The parasite
measured 90 feet in length, and
when exhibited to the astonished
druggist was still alive and ssq ulrm-
ing in the glass dish which con-
tanned it. .,..s,. ~ O., :,
Mr.. Pomereau was greatly excited
and told the following remarkable
story; l have been i'll for a long

hours ago this tape worm passed
from my system; now know what

in giving credit wherever credit is,
due, and I want everyone to know
what Cooper has done for me. J

A few days after this Mr.. W: q.

rheumatism and stomach trouble.
He said: l have had stomach trouble
