FACTS ABOUT NEW THEORY
SECURED BY INTERVIEWS
People Tell the Reason for Their Faith in
Cooper's Belief

An article from the Nashville, Tenn.
Banner, published during L. I. Coop
ers visit to that city, throws some
light on the remarkable success of the
young mans theories and medicines
in various cities visited by him dur
ing the past year. The article is as
follows:
I'm view of the enormous sale of
Coopers preparations now going on in
this city and the intense interest
which Mr.. Cooper has stirred up since
his arrival, a representative of the
Banner spent Thursday afternoon at
the young mans headquarters watch
ing the swarm of humanity come and
go.
During the afternoon the reporter
interviewed many of the callers and
obtained statements from all who
cared to give them as to their eXpe-
rience with Cooper and his prepara-
tions.
The following are selected from
those statements as being typical Of
the general expression of the people
seen:
Mr. B. b. Lassater, living at 1924
North Fourth avenue, when inter
viewed, said: L have been troubled
with my stomach for the past two
years, and have had rheumatism for
more than five years. Sometimes

when | could not even move in bed

MADE BIG PROFITS
ON GOLD EAGLES
New Issue ObviateS Many
Difficulties.

PHILADELPHIA, PA, Dec. 49,
(SpeciaD The new twenty-dollar
gold-piece so designed as to better
conform with the tastes of numisma-
lists, collectors and bankers is now
in circulation. The new design sub
stantially conveys st. Gauden's ideas,
but has been altered in details to
such an extent that praise and adj
miration has supplanted the criticism
which broke several weeks ago when
the original coin left the mint
The new double eagle can be
stacked quite as easily as any other
coin. The high relief to which bank
ers found objection has been greatly
reduced, though both sides are artist
cally concave, the eagle and the
goddess standing out boldly.
The new design is virtually a COM
promise with regard to the "panta-
looned" eagle. 1t cannot be said
that the designer dispensed with
the leg adornment of the eagle, yet
those who found objections to this
feature have no further grievance,
as the legs are obscured.
The figures 1907 have displaced
the Roman numerals.
The error of the designer of the
old double eagle, if such it may be
called, had a singular result. There
were 5000 of the original design,
and while this meant 100000 in cir
culation, the high premium of $40
on each coin brought $4,000 1t
is said that none of the eagles are
in circulation, as they have all been
bouquet up by collectors.
