Only NECESSARY TO
TREAT THE STOMACH
Claim Of Central Figure In Recent Contro-
versy Is Novel.

The new theory advanced by L. T.
Cooper relative to the human stom'
ach has attracted such widespread
attention that the public in cities
visited by the young man has been
Joined by many physicians In dis.
cussion Of his beliefs and medicines,
Mr.. Cooper says that human health
Is dependent almost entirely upon
the stomach. He says that no dis
ease can be conquered without first
elleviating all stomach disorders. He
further says that most men and WON
en- Of this generation are halfsick
owing to degenerate stomachs. And
lastly, he claims that his New Dis
oovery medicine viii rejuvenate the
human stomach In 80 days.
Cooper has been travelling from
one city to another, conducting IL
each what he calls q campaign OF
education. For the past year he has
met the public In the larger cities
Of the country, and his success has
been phenomenal. Thousands OF
people have flocked to his headquar
ters wherever he has gone, and the
sale Of his medicine has been beyond
anything of the kind ever before
witnessed.
Possibly the most interesting fea.
ture of the attention this young man
has attracted Is what his army oil
followers, whom he has converted to
his beliefs through his medicines
have to say on the subject. The fol.
lowing statements are from two well
known residents Of Chicago and Bos.
ton, respectively, and the enthusiasm
Of these IL characteristic Of Cooper's
admirers generally.
Mrs. H. B. Mack, Of 1901 State
street, Chicago, says: II have been

With the cost of living thirty per
cent higher than for years and the
average wage increased only ten per
cent the struggle of life for many
families is very burdensome.
How to save DOCTORS bills is one of
the most important considerations
with the average family, and the sue
cess of Mrs. V. Orienx, of Lawrence,
Mass, in this direction Is told here
for the benefit it will do others. Mrs.
Orienx says: "My Oldest daugh-
ter was subject to tonsilitis sore
throat from infancy and each winter
has been under physician's care. /
am pleased to say that the use of
Father Johns Medicine has helped
her, and my other little girl, so much
that it has not been necessary to call
doctor this winter, the first time in
six years that we have not had to pay
DOCTORS bills" As we have said be-
fore, this old remedy nourishes and
builds up the body, giving the system
vital force and fighting power to ward
off disease. 1t cures colds, coughs,
throat and lung troubles, and is the
best remedy ever prescribed for con-
sumption. Prevents pneumonia. By
keeping this medicine always on
hand, you will save doctors bills, too.
Remember, not q patent medicine,
but the prescription of the eminent
specialist who prescribed it for the
late Father John O'Brien of Lowell,
Mass, by whom it was recommended,
and from whom it derived it's name.
Its ingredients are pure and whole.
some, free from nerve deadeninp.
poisonous drugs or weakening stimu-
lants. 1t is invaluable as a tonic and
body builder.

Length Divided ny Diameter.

There Is surely no word In the no
menclature OF guns. big and little
which has caused and Is causing SC
much confusion In the lay mind as the
word calibcr.
The confusion arises chiefly from the
use OF the term In an adjectival sense
TO Indicate length. as when we say q
20 callber six inch gun.
The word callbcr as applied to srtil.
lery signifies essentially aud at all
times the diameter OF the bore OF q
gun. A gun. then. OF six Inch callbe'
Is gun whose bore Is Just six inches.
For convenience and because the
power OF n gun when once Its bore has
been decided upon depends 30 greatly
upon Its length. artlllerists are In the
habit OF defining the length OF the gun
In terms OF the callber.
The six inch rapid fire gun. Us mount.
ed on the ships OF the navy, Is a tribe
under twenty-five feet In length and
Is therefore known as 30 caiiber gun.
IN the case OF small arms the callber
Is expressed In hundredths OF an inch.
