MORE THAN TWO THOUSAND
PEOPLE SEE COOPER DAILY

During L. T. Cooper's recent stay
in Boston, it is estimated that sixty
five thousand people talked with him
and purchased his medicine. This
Is an average of over two thousand a
day.
His success was 50 phenomenal as
to cause universal comment both by
the public and the press. There must
be reason for this. Here is the
reason given in his own words by Mr.
Cooper when interviewed on the SUBJ
ject. He said:
THE immense numbers of people
who are calling on me here in Boston
is not unusual. have had the same
experience for the past two years
wherever have gene The reason is
simple one. 1t Is because my medi-
cine puts the stomach in good condi-
tion. This does not sound unusual,
but it is in fact the key to health. The
stomach Is the very foundation of
life attribute 80 per cent. of
all sickness directly to the stomach.
Neither animals nor men can re-
main we'll with a poor digestive appa-
ratus. Few can be sick with diges-
tion in perfect condition. AS matter
of fact, most men and women today
are half-sick. 1t is because too much
food and too little exercise have grad
ually forced the stomach into half
sick condition. My medicine gets the
stomach back where it was, and that
is all that is necessary
Among Boston people who are
staunch believers in Mr.. Cooper's
theory, is Mr., Frank D, Brown, of 81.
