R Resolyed to !Liiye {
Without Medicine.,.

From correspond at GAINESVILLE,
Wis, comes an interesting account of
an experience Of Mr.. Charles $. Brown
an aged citizen of Lake Mills, q small
town near that place. & q s s: ]
Mr.. Brown has been in ill health for
some years in consequence Of a severe
case of catarrh in the head and stom-
ach. He had doctOred for many
months without success and a short
time ago announced his intention to
stop using medicines altogether and
live as long as he could without them.
This he did, but finding his condition
growing steadily worse became alarmed.
About this time L. T. Cooper and
his medicines came into prominence
in this portion of the country and Mr..
Brown read of the remarkable results
they were accomplishing. The balance
of the story is best told in his own
words which are quoted in part as fol-
lows: chad suffered from headaches,
indigestion, catarrhal deafness and
when heard of the wonderful work
that Cooper's medicines were doing
for the sick [ could not resist trying
once more. [ made inquiries and
found that the preparations could be

| had little faith ! admit, and you can
imagine my surprise and delight when,
after using them about one week, I
actually found myself getting better.
Gradually my condition improvrd and
l gained in strength and flesh. My
he airing improved and I noticed that
my headaches were less frequent and
not so violent. Now after several
weeks treatment l can eat heartily,
sleep we'll and have none of my former
symptoms. | feel confident that | can
now stick to my resolution to live with
out taking any more medicine"
The success of these preparations,
Cooper's New Discovery and Cooper's
Quick Relief is surprising, and inquiry
at G. A. Pooler's drug store where they
are sold in Austin brought forth the
information that immense quantities
of them have been sold here and some
remarkable results have been reported.
