connubial relations, in the opinion of
Gustav Gaffri, who yesterday filed a
petition for divorce, alleging cruel and
inhuman treatment on the part of his
wife, The crisis in the affairs of Mr..
and Mrs. Gaffri came when Mrs. CAT
fri smote her husband over the head
with a hot fiat iron, and drove him
from the house with a knife. After
circuiting about the yard for a time
Gaffri returned, slamming and To-

by splintering the door with an ak.
and her husband was compelled to
flee again Under stress of such al
legged punishment, Gaffr went to his
lawyers office, where the bill was
drawn.
He further alleges that he was in
perpetual danger of being poisoned by
his wife, who attempted it several
times. She had used house knife
upon him at divers times. He states
that she weighs about 200 pounds,
while he weighs only 1885, and is only

COOPER MET USUAL
SUCCESS IN P|1ISBURC
Received Thanks from Hundreds While in
the Smoky City.

to Press reporter, when interviewed,
Cooper's claim that the human stom-
ach is degenerate is distinctly verified.
One of the most unusual statements
was made by Mr.. c. w. Woods, of 1913
South Highland Street. He said: For
flour years my wife was in very poor
health. She was weak and thin, with
a hectic flush and cough. Physicians
said she had consumption, and I was
inclined to believe them. 1t certainly
looked as though her days were num-
bered, and there appeared to be very
little ground for hope.
Shortly after Mr.. Cooper came to
Pittsburg began to hear of wonderful
results that had been obtained by per-
sons who had tried his medicine, SO
got some for my wife. She had taken
it only two days when she was relieved
of tapeworm AZ feet long. She be-
gan to improve immediately-ha gain
ed seven pounds since she began TAX
ing the medicine. She feels splendid
and looks very much better. If any
one doubts this statement I would be
pleased to have them call at my house
and verify it."
The Cooper remedies are becoming
justly famous. We sell them.-Mc.
Bride & Will Drug Co.
Evening times-Republican. [volume] (Marshalltown, Iowa) 1890-1923, 1908-01-24

The following article, taken from
the Pittsburg Press, describes the re-
suits OF L. L. Coopers visit to that
city, and the effect of his new prepara-
ton as told by people who had become
convinced of the soundness Of Cooper's
theories with regard to the human
stomach.
Cooper believes that the human
stomach in civilized races has become
greatly weakened. He claims that most
i'll health of the present generation is
due to this fact The article is as fol-
lows:
81. T. Cooper is meeting with the
same Astonishing success in Pittsburg
as in other cities. For the past few
days many thousands of Pittsburg peo-
pie have called at his headquarters to
talk with him.
"Cooper's prophecy, made upon his
arrival to the effect that before he left
Pittsburg thousands would realize that
his theory is correct and would come
and thank him for what his medicine
had done, is rapidly being borne out.
"On Monday an astonishing number
of people called to express their graft
tude to Mr.. Cooper. Judging from
what some of these people had to say
