St. Souis. Sept. %. 1906

st. Souls, Sept. %, 1905.
L. t. Cooper, the man who has crea
ted a sensation throughout the east,
and who is rapidly acquiring a national
reputation, arrived in st. Louis yes.
terday.
Cooper is president of the Cooper
Medicine Company, of Dayton, Ohio,
and has made fortune within the past
few years estimated at at several mil.
Lions, by the sale of two preparations,
which are claimed to be very unusual
and which are said to accomplish re-
marksble results.
Cooper spends his time travelling
from city to city introducing these
remedies and in this manner he has
acquired the fortune he now possesses
Cooper is said to be very remarka,
bic character, and man with eccen-
trio ideas; one of his beliefs is that a
certain part of his income should be
devoted is charitable work, and he is
said to give thousands of dollars TO the
poor in each city that he visits.
His charitable work is original, as he
is continually devlsing new methods of
making money give the most pleasure
and relief possible.
The most remarkable feature of
Cooper's work is what is known as his
"Three minute removal of deafness
In cities visited by him within the
past year he has appeared nightly be-
fore large audiences and offered to
make any one hear, within less than
three mlnutep, if they would come up
on the stage. Reports from Pittsburg,
Cincinnati. Detroit, Cleveland an
Louisville, and other cities, seem to
Indicate that Cooper actually did as
he claimed.
Each night he is said to have re-.
moved, before thousands of people,
cases of deafness in about three min
utes' time with one of his preparations.
The accounts of his work appeared IN
all of the leading "daiIies" of the east,
and people have focked to him from
all parts of the country.
The sale of his preparations is said
to re Oh enormous proportions within
week after Cooper arrives in city.
Whether he will be as successful in
st. Louis as elsewhere remains to be
seen.
