PHYSICIANS DISAGREE.
Different Opinions on CoOper's Remarkable
Success Held by Cincinnati Medical Men

Cincinnati. O., Jan. 29.-The aston
ishing sale of Cooper's preparations
in this city has now reached such inn
mense figures that the medical frater
nifty at large have become 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 Cincinnati-some
being willing to credit him for what
he has accomplished. while others as
sert that the interest he has aroused
is but a passing fad which cannot
last. and which will die ont as quickly
as it has sprung up.
The opinion OF these two factions
is very we'll voiced in the statements
made recently by two OF a number OF
physicians who were interviewed on
the subject
DR. J l.. Carass when questioned
about the matter said Il have not
been believer in proprietary prepar-
atoms heretofore nor can say that
believe in them at present. But

stand in the way of anything that may
prove for the public good simply

! am inclined To give Cooper and his
preparations credit as deserving TO
some extent the popular demonstra-

this city"
Another we'll known physician who
was seen took the opposite view OF
the "Cooper-mania.' as he called it.,
which now has this city in its grip.
He said: Il can only liken the pres
ent state OF affairs to certain kind
of hallucination For want OF a bet
ter name might call it Cooper
mania The people of Cincinnati
seem 70 be firm in the belief that this
man Cooper has health corked UP in
