PHENOMENAL SALES
PHYSICIANS DISCUSS PHIIANTHRo-
 PEST COOPER.
Many Cures Reported, People Are
 Greatly Excited--Doctors Call It Cooper-Mania.
St. Louis. special. February.

The astonishing sale of Cooper's preparations in this city has now reached such immense figures that the medical fraternity at large have be- come forced into open discussion of the man and his preparations.
 The physicians as a whole seem to be 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 that the interest he has aroused Is but a passing fad which cannot last. and which will die out as quickly as 1t has sprung up.
 The opinion of these two factions is very we'll voiced in the statements made recently by two of number of physicians who were interviewed on the subject
 Dr. J. E. Carass, when questioned about the matter, said: Il have not been a believer in proprietary prepar ations heretofore, nor can l say that believe in them at present. But l must admit that some of the facts re- gently brought to my notice eoncern- ing this man Cooper have gone far towards removing the prejudice l had formed against him when the unheard of demand for the preparations first sprang up in this city.
 Numbers of my patients whom l have treated for chronic liver. kidney and stomach troubles have met me after taking Cooper's medicines, and have stated positively that he has accom- plished wonderful results for them. notice particularly in eases of stomach trouble that the man has relieved sev- eral cases that were of years stand ing and proved very obstinate in treat ment
 q a mthe last man on earth to standd in the way of anything that may prove for the public good simply through professional prejudice, and l am in clined to give Cooper and his prepara- tons credit as deserving to some ex- tent the popular demonstration 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 1t, which now has this city in it's grip He said: T can only liksn the pres ent state of affairs to a certain kind or haiiucination. For want Of better name I might call 1t Cooper-mania' The people of St. Louis seem 70 Df' sfirm in the belief that this man Cooper haa health corked up In bottle
 some of them imagine that he has completely cured them of various Ills Judging from their statements IL is bevond me to say why the city has gone crazy over the man. It may pc 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 physician is the one to whom their heaith hao best be entrusted.
 Tn the meantime Cooper meets sever al thousand people daily. and only smiles when statements of the above character are quoted to him. His charitable work still continues to be rtnrat nrfnnaiVA. - --
