SAYS AMERICA VS.
STUFFTHEMSELVES
TOO FULL OF FOOD
Cooper Confident of Same
Success in Manhattan as
in Brooklyn.

L. T. Cooper. the young man who has
stirred UP Western cities with his theo-
rIes and medicines, feels confident tHat
his success will be as pronounced in
Manhattan as II has been in Brooklyn
Cooper Is making his headquarters
while in New York at the Ninth street
and Broadway store of the Riker Com
pany. Here he explains his theory and
medicines to the public from 10 O'CLOCK
until each day. His theory Is that the
human stomach is responsible for most
III health, and that the American stOm-
ach Is growing weak
In discussing his success in Brooklyn
and his visit TO Naw York on Monday
afternoon, Cooper said: There are
5000 people in Brooklyn who are TAX
ing or have taken my medicine. There
are twice that number IN chicago ana
ABOUT su,vpy IN Boston. These are the
three cities l have visited last. The
reason Is this: American people have
stuffed themselves with food and taken
little or no exercise for SO long IN II
about half OF tnem are sick. They
don't know Just what is the matter
with them. Ny preparation regulates
the digestive functions, that's all, yet
am told every day by many people tHat
they were suffering from nervous Dreak-
down or kidney trouble or liver com
pla!nt or rheumatism or other disea ses,
too numerous TO mention. until they
took my medicine.
As a matter OF fact. the average man

ach is working properly. TO be sure
there are diseases Of a virulent charac-
ter, such as diabetes, cancer tubercu-

POLICE SEEK
BROTHER OF
TH|ERY GIRL
Want to Question Him About
Sister Who Was Found
Unconscious in Lot.
LEFT HOME ON TUESDAY
His StepH,ot;ler Does Not
Believe He Knows Any
thing About the Case.
LEFT HOME ON TUESDAY

Coroner Kennedy. of Brooklyn, has
asked the police to send out a general
alarm. for Joseph Thiery. nineteen years
old. a brother of Lillian Thiery, the
fifteen-year- girl who was found in
a vacant lot at Glendale. l.. l.. last
Friday suffering from a fractured skull
and died without disclosing how she
had come by her injury. The Coroner
has discovered that joseph Thiery has
been missing from the Thiery home at
No. 303 jefferson street. Brooklyn. since
last Tuesday.
The girls injuries We're confined to
the skull fracture. She was conscious
and coherent for a time before her
death. but refused to say more than
she had gone into the vacant lot to
sleep. When asked who had been with
her on Thursday night she refused to
answer. although she was told that
she was dying.
The Police Theory.
From this the police infer that the
person who inflicted the injuries that
caused the death of the girl was one
well known to her whom she was
anxious 10 shield. 1t is known that
her home life was very unhappy and
that she had run away with the deter
minatton to shift for herself when sne
met her death.
Young Joseph Thery is said to be a
wild boy He has spent term in re-
formatory and the police say they have
learned that he often fought with his
sister. Both Joseph and Lillian were
children of Thiery by his first wife. who
is now living in Manhattan.
The stepmother Of the two children
was seen at the Jefferson street ad-
dress to-day. She said that she felt
sure Joseph had nothing TO do with the
death OF his sister.
1T Is true" she said. that he is a
wild. reckless boy. but there was notn-
ing vicious about him. He was really
fond of Lillian. He would not work.
and he and his father had many rows
about his idleness. On last Tuesday he
announced that he was going to Phila-
delphia. where he could get a job with
a carpenter. We have not heard from
him since.
May Be In Philadelphia.
1--WE believe he is in Philadelphia. He
wouldn't write home. anyhow. and Re
didn't read the papers much, so he
probably don't know that his sister is
dead. No one who knew him in Will
.amsburg saw him after Tuesday, ahd
LILLIAN did not 90 away until Thursday.
] do not believe he saw her after she
left home
The inquest into the mystery surround
inE the death of the Thiery girl will be

SUDDENLY TAKEN
ILL AT ST. REGIS,

Continued from First Page.)
The Morris County chronicle. [volume] (Morristown, N.J.) 1877-1915, 1908-12-01

UNDER a decision just rendered by
the Court of Errors and Appeals, men
engaged in business who sell out their
interests under an agreement that they
will not re-engage in the sane line of
trade within a certain territory or dur
ing specified time, must respect that
agreement. Heretofore such contracts
have been held to be void, because
they were regarded as in restraint of
trade and therefore opposed to the
public interests. The effect has been
that men have been able to dispose of
their businesses under a solemn agree
.ment that they would not, re-engage
10 it, and then, after having obtained
in many instances fancy prices for
their interests, have deliberately dis
regarded their contract obligation and
entered into competition with theii
former associates.
