Special. The people Of this this CITY
. are + greatly excited over q number lu, %
1,fs remarkable causes which nave
%been erected By wealthy philanthro-
mist. who is known as the Great
t,ooper. His headquarters : at
,Voeoeli's Drug store is besleged
with crowds Of men and women
eager to be cured of their ills.
Cooper is a quiet gentlemanly
pereoa, with the appearance OF a
student rather than business man.
BE is apparently about thirty one
or two years of age. He first came
into public notice by bis phi!an-
thropic work among the poor. me
large fortune he possesses has mace
it possible for him to dlserl ouse
many wagon loads Of food ana clotn-
ING among those in INDECENT olrcum-
stances since his arrival in Mlnnea-
The first that was known OF
Cooper's power over disease was
when Mr.. e. Pomerleau, living at
No. 544 Eight Ave. n, q trusted
employee of the Commutator 20. on
No. i21 First st. N, brought to
Voeeeli's Drug Store the largest
parasite or tape worm ever seen IN
this citv, which he claimed had
hoar ,on,ovad from his system by
the Philanthropist. The parasite
measured 90 feet in length, and
when exhibited to- the gastonlshed
druggist was still alive and ssquirm-
ing in the glass dish which con-
tained it. H., H. f. a. *zS@ =, Z ~.
Mr.. Pomereau was greatly excited
and told the following remarkable
story; I have been ill for q long
time. Sometimes I had 9 voraclous
appetite, and then there would &oe
days when could eat scarcely any
THING. and the smell of food
]. nauseated me. I felt tired all the
time. ana when coming down town
to myswork i felt as though .lshard-
ly had the strength to got back
home again, although I was a
strong, robust man before was
taken ill. was irritable and had
become 80 nervous and GRABBED
that I could not be agreeable or
pleasant to any ono around me, and
felt so tired and worn out all the
time that could not perform my
daily labor without the greatest
effort. was weak and emaciated
and my skin was sallow. l became
moody and depressed in spirits ana
was greatly worried about myself.
Ny employer, Mr.. Ben Boneau,
had seen Mr.. Cooper in the east and
said he had effected many marvellous
cures there, and advised me to con-
suit him. followed his advice and
have been taking Cooper's treat
u1ent less than one week. Two
hours ago this tape worm passed
from my system; now / know what
has been troubling me all this time.
Some people would not tell about
q matter of this kind, hut l believe
in giving credit wherever credit is
due, and I want everyone to know
what Cooper has done for me. J
would do anything in nv power
for him, for / actually believe he
has saved my life.
A few days after this Mr.. W. q.
McClurg, living at No. 26o1 New
ton Ave. NJ, reported that Cooper
had cured him Of a severe case or
rheumatism and stomach trouble.
He said: have had stomach trouble
and rheumatism for long time.
I 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 I 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 rheuma-
:tism and stomach trouble has dis
appeared, not sign Of it remains,
and / feel as well today as I ever
did il. my life, It seem ITO have
been made over. I am gaining
rapidly in flesh, my appetite ls good
and can eat and digest any KIND
Of food. Cooper is q remarkaole
man. %.... z NJ. =,

more remarkable cure OF MRS.
