COOPER APPRECIATED

Chicago, Nov. 6.-Nothing has done so much to arouse the people in Chicago as the immense number of parasites or tapeworms that are be- ing removed from individuals by a preparation known as Cooper's New Discovery.
 This preparation is being introduc- ed in this city for the first time by L.. T. Cooper, the young philanthrop- ist, who has made and is making a fortune by it's sale. The medicine is prepared at Dayton, Ohio, and is sold for various forms of stomach trouble. It is now being sold in Chicago in such enormous quantities as to have caused general discussion by physi- clans throughout the city.
 Cooper claims that much suffering is the result of tapeworms, and stated early during his visit that the creat- ures were responsible for fifty per cent of all stomach trouble. This claim seems to be verified, as fully one-half of the individuals who have taken this preparation have been re- lieved of one of these creatures A reporter who spent an hour at Cooper's headquarters, secured state ments from a number of people who brought one of the creatures to the young man yesterday. The following are some of these statements and are similar to all the rest:
 Mrs E. Stiernberg, living at 1716 Ravenswood Park, who was relieved of tapeworm about fifty feet in length, when questioned, said: II have been in poor health for years. l have attributed it to my stomach, al- though 1 was not certain just what was the matter with me. 1 felt dull most of the time and the least exer- tion tired me. I had a very irregular appetite and always had a coated tongue I was troubled with short ness of breath, headaches, dizziness, sleeplessness, and would see specks before my eyes if I stopped over and raised up quickly.
 My worst trouble was that I seemed to lack all ambition and it
  , hold duties, as I always felt tired even after a nights sleep. My mind seemed dull and sluggish most of the time, and l had difficulty in remem- bering. I have had headache a great deal and have done everything pos sible, but could get no relief.
 T heard so much of this man | of 1, ie preparation. l took only two doses of it when this parasite left my system. know now what made me feel so bad ly all these years. I consider this the most remarkable preparation I ever heard of. It has made life worth living for me once more and I am thankful"
 The statement of MT Fred E. Bone, l1411 West Sixty-first street, super intendent of Gallagher & Speck, ma chinists, was as follows: 'I had suffered with stomach trouble for three years. I was not sick enough to be in bed, but just felt bad all the time. My greatest trouble was that l always felt tired-would get up in the morning feeling as tired as when 1 went to bed.
 "I had a very irregular appetite and was troubled with dizzy spells. If stood for any length of time 1 would have dull pain in the lower part of my back. I was nervous and felt all the time as though something terrible was going to happen. My memory has been getting bad during the past year and my eyesight is not as keen as it was. 1 havetried many kinds of medicines, but nothing ever helped me.
 T had about given up all hope of ever being in good health again. n.when heard so much of Cooper and decid- ed to try his medicines. I bought one bottle of his New Discovery as it is called. took just three doses of the medicine, and this apeworm-which is over seventy feet in length-left my system. I never suspected that 1 had this thing. I feel better already and believe I will get back some of the flesh I had lost during the past few years. I would not have that thing in me again for a thousand dol lars"
 These statements and others like them go far toward accounting for Cooper's immense success here and elsewhere. So far every claim made by the young man seems to have been verified.
