Different Opinions on Suc-
cess Of Cooper.
Physicians Of ST. Louis Talk Of
His Remarkable Work.
Some Inclined to Give Young Man
Credit, Others Call II a Fad.

St. Louis, Jan. 1.-THE astonishing
sale of COoper's preparations i'll this
city has nov reached such immense
figures that the medical fraternity ut
large have become forced into open
discussion Of the man and his prepara-
tons
The physicians as Il whole seem to
be divided with regard to the young
mans success in St LoUiS-somc 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 il
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 We're interviewed Oh
the subject
DR.. J. l.. Carass, when questioned
about the matter, said: II have not
been believer in proprietary prepara-
lions heretofore. nor can l say that
l believe III them at present. But l
must admit that some of the facts re-
Gently brought to my notice concern

formed against him when the unhearl

| 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
\ nave stated positively that he has ac-
| complehed wonderful results for them
notice particularly in cases of
stomach trouble that the man has
relieved several cases that We're OF
years standing and proved very OBJ
stinate in treatment
Il am the last man on earth ia stand
in the way of anything that may prove
Tor the public good simply through
professional prejudice and | am in
chned to give Cooper and his prenara-
tioES cfedlt as deserving to some cx-
tent the popular demonstration thar

Judging from their statements. Il is
oe9 ohu me to say why the city has
gone crazy over the man. It may he
safely put down. / think, to one of
the passing fads that SO often attack
