asked about the matter he said:
For nine years | was a sufferer
from rheumatism. The disease made
rapid progress and seriously affected
the muscles of my back and shout
ders. In fact, for several years |
have been unable to maintain an
erect carriage and seemed to be
growing more bent and bowed each
day. AT times | suffered excruciat-
ing pain and was unable to be out or
attend to business. For more than
year L have been in condition
that made sleep almost impossible
and lack of rest combined with the
pain | suffered made me almost ~
mental as well as physical wreck.
Although | have tried many RENE
dies without avail and was determin-
ed to let the disease run it's course /
was attracted by the marvellous cures
said to have been made by this man
Cooper. In consequence | obtained
some of his medicines and have been
using them for about ten days The
improvement in my condition is moth
ing short of remarkable. The muscles
of my back and shoulders are now
relaxed and stronger than for five
years. 1t is now possible for me to
walk about as other men and | have
suffered no pain for several days. No
one, who has not had a similar ex.
perience, can imagine just how l feel
toward this young man and it is
impossible for me to fully express
my gratitude to him. He has given
me strength and surcease from pain
when ! had about lost hope of again
knowing either"
Inquiry at A. g. Lack & Co.'S
drug store, who have the local
agency for Cooper's remedies, devel-
oped the fact that there is a large
demand for the preparation in this
vicinity and that some remarkable
cures have been reported in this
city.

COOPER POPULAR
IN NASHVILLE

The remarkable work of l.. r.
Cooper, who is fast achieving ma
tional reputation and is now in the
south, has reached its climax in the
city of Nashville, Tenn. The news
papers of that city and of others in
the vicinity have printed columns de-
voted to a description of the work
of his medicines in the cure of va
rious diseases. The people of Central
and Eastern Tennessee are greatly
wrought up over the results accom-
plished by this young man through
the medium of his New Discovery
Medicine and each day it is said his
headquarters are damned by crowds
of excited people who are eager to
speak with him.
Many stories, almost marvellous in
their import, have been told of the
manner in which he has relieved long
standing cases of Stomach and Kid
ney trouble, Rheumatism, Deafness.
Catarrh and other diseases. The in
PRODUCTION of medicine with the
property of relieving these troubles
has made Cooper the most popular
man in Nashville today, if reports
from that city are to be believed.
The fact that he is believer in chart
table work and is constantly on the
looking for some one needing asss-
lance has but added to his popularity
with all classes and made him al.
most the idol of the masses.
In the tales told of Cooper's work
and in the articles which have ap-
peared in the daiies of the city the
names of many people of respecta-
bility and prominence have been
mentioned.
Mr.. w. f. Anderson, ia Third Az
enue, North, perhaps the most prom
inent automobile dealer in the city,
and well known in business circles,
was among those who, it was said.
