most unusual feature of the excite
ment that has been created by L. T.
Cooper's visit to this city Is the re-
moval of parasites or tapeworms by
his. preparations.
During the early part of Cooper's
stay in New York, individuals who
were taking his New Discovery" as
it is called, brought either to himself
or to physicians throughout the city
immense parasites that had left the
system after using the medicine.
Many of these people were fright
ened, and cases of this sort become SO
numerous that Cooper finally made the
following statement for publications:
He said: IN every city visit these
things are brought to me within few
days after my medicine is sold In the
city. They are what is known as the
tapeworm, and grow to enormous size.
Few, indeed, realize how prevalent
these creatures are. l think ! have
been the first to demonstrate what
large factor they are in the poor
health of this generation. l believe
that fully one-half of the chronic
stomach trouble that is SO universal Is
caused by these parasites.
individuals may have them for
years and not be aware of the reason
for continued ill-health, but attribute
it to many different diseases, when in
reality one of these creatures is rob-
bling them of their vitality.
These parasites are taken into the

lassitude and are extremely nervous.
The action of the New Discovery
seems to be fatal to these great
worms and in most cases few doses
of the medicine drives the creatures

This grewsome prophecy has been
amply verified for not only hundreds
but thousands of New York and
Brooklyn people have been relieved of
one of these fearful parasites since
taking Cooper's preparations, and the
entire city has been aroused by the
fact.
Some of these parasites are of such
enormous size as to startle the mag
ination. The statement of Thomas
McNulty, a city employee, living at 21S
Thirty ninth Street, South Brooklyn.
verifies this. His statement, among
others given to a reporter, was as
follows:
Il have no objection to talking about
this matter Why should I? The facts
are so. and a man who would not dis
cuss them is suffering with false mod
esty, in my opinion. l believe every
one should know about these things.
l believe they are a public MANAGE. and
if this man Cooper. or any one else,
relieves it, am willing to say so, and
give credit where it is due.
Il have been sick man for years.
My stomach was all wrong and I had
a gnawing, faint feeling which only

now estimated that he has sold one
