St. Louis People Interviewed on the
Interesting Subject,
STATEMENTS SECURED BY REPORTER:
Il il Claimed by Cooper that Monster
worms Cause Fifty Per Cent
of All sO-CaIled stom-
ach Trouble.

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 9.-Nothing has done so
much to arouse the people in st. Louis as
the immense number of parasites or tape
worms that are being removed from indi-
viduals by a preparation known as Coopers
New Discovery.
This preparation is being introduced in
this city for the first time by l.. 4. Cooper
the young philanthropist, who has made
and is making a fortune by its sale. The
medicine is prepared at Dayton, o., and is
sold for various forms of stomach trouble.
1t is now being sold in St. Louis in such
| enormous quantities as to have caused
general discussion by physicians through
out the city.
Cooper claims that much suffering is the
result Of tapeworms and stated early dur
| ing his visit that the creatures were re-
sponsible for 90 per cent OF all stomach
| trouble This claim seems 70 be verified,
| as fully one-half OF the individuals who
| have taken this preparation have been re-
| lieved OF one OF these creatures.
A reporter, who spent an hour at
/ Cooper's headquarters, secured statements
| from a number OF people who brought one
# the creatures to the young man yester-
day. The following are some OF these
statements and are similar to all the rest:
Mr. Charles H. Muetz, living at 1881
Easton avenue. who brought with him q
tapeworm about fifty feet In length, when
| questioned said: IL have been in poor
health for eight years. / have attributed

p nense success here and elsewhere So IA
q every claim made by the young man Seems
70 have been verified.
