Reporter Secures Statements
Frem Many People,


st. Louis. Jan. 23.-Nothing has done
SO much to arouse the people in st.
Louis as the immense number of para
sites or tape-worIns that are being re-
moved from individuals by a prepara-
ton known as Cooper's New Discovery.
This preparation Is being introduced
in this city for the first time by L. T.
Cooper, the young phiIanthropist, who
has made and Is making a fortune by
its sale. The medicine Is prepared at
Dayton, Ohio, and is sold for various
forms Of stomach trouble. It Is now
being sold in st. Louis in such enor-
nous quantities as to have caused a
general discussion by physicians
throughout the city.
Cooper claims that much suffering
is the result of tapeworms, and stated
early during his visit that the crea-
lures We're 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 relieved Ut
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 follow
ing are some of these statements and
are similar to all the rest:
Mr.. Chas. II. MuetZ, living at 4031
Easton Ave, who brought with. him
a tapeworm about fifty feet in length,
when questioned, said: II have been
in poor health for eight years. have
attributed it to my stomach. although
! was not certain just what was the
matter with me. ! felt dull most Of
the time and the least exertion tired
me. I had 4 very irregular appetite
and always had coated tongue.
was troubled with shortness 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 SEEM
ed to lack all ambition and it was diff
ficult to attend to my business as !
always felt tired even after a nights
sleep. My mind seemed dull and
sluggish most of the time and I hai
difficulty in remembering. I have had
headache g great deal and have done
everything possible, but could get no
relief"
II heard so much of this man Cooper.
that last Wednesday I bought a bottle
of his preparation. I did not use 1t
till yesterday when I took two doses
of it and about two hours ago 2. para
| site left my system. 1 know now what
made me feel SO badly all these years.
l consider this the most remarkable
preparation 1 ever heard Of. 1t has
| made life worth living for me once
| more and am very thankful"
The statement of Mr.. William
! Bracken, of 100 Morgan St., was as
follows: II had suffered with stomach
trouble for three years. was not sick
enough to be in bed. but just felt bad
all the time. My greatest trouble was
that i always felt tired, would get UP
in the morning feeling as tired as when
went to bed
Il had a very irregular appetite
and was troubled with dizzy spells. If
l stood for any length Of time I would
have dull pain in the lower part Of
my back. 1 was nervous and felt
all the time as though something ter
rible was going to happen. My MEM
ory has been getting bad during the
past year and my eyesight is not as
keen as it was. I have tried many
KINGS. of medicines but nothing ever
helped me-"
| II had about given up all hope OF
ever being in good health again. when
I heard so much of Cooper and de-
cided to try his medicines. I bought
ore bottle of his New Discovery, as
! it is called. I took just three doses
of the medicine and this tapeworm.
! which is over seventy feet in length,
left my system. 1 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 Inc again for a thousand
dollars
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.
