ASTONISHING DEMONSTRATION
GIVEN BY YOUNG MAN IN
ST. LOUIS.

ST LOUIS. Oct. ls.-on Wednesday
afternoon some remarkable demon
STATIONS we're given in public by T.
| L. Cooper, or the Great Cooper" as
he is called, who is introducing for
the first time in st. Louis the prepa.
ratlons which created sensation in
eastern cities.
The demonstrations took place at
Mr.. Coopers headquarters and were
witnessed by several hundred people,
AS nearly as could be learned the facts
were these:
AT three o'clock in the after.
noon the young man agreed to show
what one of his remedies would do
for deafness, and agreed to make
any one present who was afflicted
with deafness hear again in less than
three minutes.
There were many deaf people pres
ent and about a dozen Of these were
given the demonstration, consisting of
single application of one Of the
Cooper preparations.
The hearing of these people was
then tested after an interval OF be-
tween two and three minutes. The
test consisted of questions put to
Them in an ordinary conversational
tone at distances varying from Ave
to thirty feet.
The results were remarkable in the
extreme. Some Of these people who
we're treated had been deaf for a
number Of years. When the first
question was asked a look of amaze
ment would spread over their faces
and they would forget to answer the
question. AS the questions were re-
peated the surprised look would give
way to one of delight. Many were so
affected that they burst into tears
and were scarcely able to answer the
question.
In no single instance, SO far as
could be learned would an Individual
fail to hear. Many were able to hear
finger snap at distance of thirty
feet. At the request of Mr.. Cooper
questions we're put to them by their
friends or by various spectators In an
ordinary tone of voice and the Ques-
tons were readily answered.
In giving an account OF these dem
constructions, Mr.. Cooper said:
1.-THE one with which I accomplish
most, as my New Discovery, as 1t is
called, and to which 1 owe my success
is for the treatment of all forms OF
stomach trouble and the general break
ing down of the system that follows In

these deaf people hear again.
