Minneapolis, Mimi, Oct. 2, 1905. -
/ (special)-The people of this city are
greatly excited over number OF
remarkable cures which have been
| effected by 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
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
INDECENT circumstances since his ar
rival in Minneapolis.
The first that was known of Cooper's
power over disease was when Mr.. D..
Pomereau, living at No. 554 Eight
Ave. N, trusted employee of the
/ Commutator Co. of No. 121 First ST..
n, brought 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 squirm-
ing in the glass dish which contained
it.
Mr.. Pomereau was greatly excited
and told the following remarkable
story: have been i'll for a long
time. Sometimes I had voracious
appetite, and then there would be DAYS
when could eat scarcely anything,
and the smell of food nauseated me.
[ felt tired all the time, and when COM
ing down town to my work felt as
though I hardly had the strength to
get back home again, although was
a strong, robust man before [ was
taken i'll. I was irritable and had
become so nervous and grabbed that
could not be agreeable or pleasant to
any one around me, and I felt SO
tired and worn out all the time that t
could not perform my daily labor
without the greatest effort. I was
weak and :emaciated and my skin was
sallow. became moody and de-
pressed in spirits and was grealy wor-
ried 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 I know what has been troubling
me all this time
Some people would not tell about a
matter of this kind, but 1 believe in
giving 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 I
actually believe he has saved my life.
A few days after this Mr.. w. II. Nc
Clurg, living at No. 260l Newton Ave.
N. reported that Cooper had cured
him of a severe case of rheumatism
and stomach trouble. He said: I
have had stomach trouble and rheu-
matism for long time. I heard of a
man who had been cured of rheuma-
tlsm in one week by Cooper. I did
not believe there was a medicine on
earth that could cure me, but I de-
cided 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 I feel as we'll
today as I ever did in my life. = 1 seem
to have been made over. I am gain
ing rapidly in flesh, my appetite is
good and | can eat and digest any
kind OF food. Cooper is remarks
bic man.
This was followed by the still more
remarkable cure of Mrs. Catherine
