cooPER's MEDICINE REVEALS
NEW DISEASE I'm ST.
LOUIS.

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 25.-Probably the
most unusual feature of the excitement
that has been created by l.. 7. Coop
er's visit to this city is the removal
Of parasites or tapeWorms by his prep
aFations.
During the early part Of Cooper's
stay In st. Louis individuals who were
taking his New Discovery" as 1t is
called. brought either to himself or. to
physicians throughout the city i'm.
mense parasites that had left the sys-
TEN after using the medicine.
Many Of these people were fright.
ened, and cases Of thisisort became so.
numerous that Cooper finally made
the following statement for publica.
ton:
He said: I'm every city visit these
things are brought to me within few
days after my medicine is sold in the
city. They are what Is known as the
tape.worm, and grow to enormous
size"
Few indeed realize how prevalent
these creatures are. ] think ! have
been the first to demonstrate what a
large factor they are in the poor
health Of this generation. believe.
that fully one.half the chronic stom-
ach trouble that is so universal is
caused by these parasites,
Individuals may have them for
years and not be aware OF the rea-
son for continued ill-health, but attrib-
ute It to many different diseases,
when in reality one Of these creatures
is robbing them of their vitality"
"These parasites are taken into The
system in uncooked food or rare meat,
in the form of an egg, which matches
almost Immediately. People suffering
from them experience a feeling Of
lassitude and are extremely nervous.
The action of the New Discovery
seems to be fatal to these great worms
and in most cases q few doses of the
medicine drives the creatures from the
system. l will have hundreds of them
brought to me before leave the city
This grewsome prophecy has been
amply verified. for not only hundreds
but thousands Of st. Louis people have
been relieved Of one Of these fearful
parasites since taking Cooper's prep
arations, and the entire city has been
aroused by the fact.
Some of these parasites are Of such
enormous size as to startle the int
agination. The statement of Father
John Baptist ArnOlis. one Of the best
known and best beloved priests in this
section of the country verifies this.
His statement, among others given TO
a reporter, was as follows:
"For years suffered from what |
thought was a general run down con-
dition Of the system caused by stoIn.
ach trouble. felt extremely tired
all the time, and it was great effort
to attend to my duties | would wake
up In the morning feeling as worn out
as when I went to bed. If I stood for
any length of time I would have pain
in the lower part of my back, and
would have to sit down"
II was very nervous and depressed
in spirits, and was troubled with dizzy
spells. | would see spots before my
eyes when stopped over and raised

cry" as 1t is called, ana tape.worn
about ninety feet in length left my
system"
81 am very thankful for this great
relief. and now know what has been
the cause Of all my sufferings."
This story of Father Arnolis IS a
lair example of the experience OF an
number Of st. Louis poo
pie, and Cooper's preparations are sell
ing here in immense quantities. II IS
now estimated that he has sold some
hundred thousand bottles to date in
his city alone and the sale is still
