THE CAR SERVICE ON THE OLD

NAMES FOR SHERIFF..

Speculation as to whom the demo-
cratic organization will nominate for
sheriff of this county is still on. There
are many aspirants for the office, but
in the disrupted state of the organi-
cation at present only a strong man
can win. 1t is considered likely that
the independence League, which is
well organized in this borough, will
place a candidate in the field, not
alone for sheriff, but for member of
the assembly as well. The republic
cans are jubilant over what appears
to be certain victory this year for
their local candidates. One of the
foremost aspirants for the nomina-
ton on the republican ticket is Cap
tain James LaForge, of Pleasant
Plains. who in the past has held sew
eral prominent positions, having held
the Office of tax collector of this ward
before consolidation for several
terms. His friends are working hard
to secure the nomination for him.

DOCTORS IN
ICONTROVERSY
Some Inclined TO Give Young
Man Credit Others Call
Excitement a Fad.
ST. Louis, Oct. A. 1906,

The astonishing sale of Cooper's
preparations in this city has now
reached such immense figures that
the medical fraternity at large have
become forced into open discussion
Of the man and his preparations.
The physicians as a whole seem to
he divided with regard to the young
mans success in st. Louis-some be-
ing willing to credit him for what he
has accomplished, while others assert
tnat the interest he has aroused Is
but a passing fad which cannot last,
and which will die out as quickly as
IL has sprung up.
The opinion of these two factions
is very well voiced in the statements
made recently by two of a number OF
physicians who were interviewed on
the subject.
Or. J.. e. Carass, when questioned
about the matter. said: II have not
been a believer in proprietary pre2a-
rations heretofore, nor can ! say that
[ believe in them at present. But |
must admit that some of the facts re-
Gently brought to my notice concern
ing this man Cooper have gone far
towards removing the prejudice | had
formed against him when the un-
heard of demand for the preparations
first sprang up in this city.
Numbers of my patients, whom |
have treated for chronic liver, kidney
and stomach troubles have met me
after taking Cooper's remedies, and
have stated positively that he has ac-
complished wonderful results for
them. | notice particularly in cases
OF stomach trouble that the man has
relieved several cases that were of
years standing and proved very OBJ
stinate in treatment.
"I am the last man on earth to
stand in the way of anything that
may prove for the public good simply
through professional prejudice and
am inclined to give Cooper and his
Greparations credit as deserving to
some extent the popular demonstra-
ton that has been accorded them in
this city"
Another well known physician who
was seen, took the opposite view of
the "Cooper-mania," as he called it,
which now has this city in it's grip.
lie said: 81 can only liken the pres
ent state of affairs to a certain kind
OF hallucination. For want of Il bet
ter name | might call it 'Cooper-ma-
MIA The people of st. Louis
TO be firm in the belief hat this man
Cooper has health corked up in a
bottle.
Some of them imagine that he
has completely cured thom of various
Ills Judging from their statements. 1t
Is beyond me to say why the city has
gone crazy over this man. 1t may be
safely put down, | think, to one of
the passing fads that so often attack
the American public.
Sooner or later the people are
bound to regain their senses, and will
then realize that a reputable physic-
ian Is the n to whom their health
had best be entrusted"
In the meantime Cooper meets sev-
oral thousand people daily, and only
smiles when statements of the above
character are quoted to him. His
charitable work still continues to be
very extensive.
