New THEORY IS RAPIDLY
SPREADING OVER COUNTRY

I cause my New Discovery medicine
tones the stomach up to required
strength in about six weeks tlme.
That is why ! have had more people
come and thank me wherever | nave
gone to introduce my medicine, man
have had time TO talk with.
Among the immense numbers of peo-
pie who are now strong believers IN
Cooper's theory and medicine is Mrs.
NJ. +. Delano, a prominent resident or
the suburb of Brookline, Boston, Mass.
She SAYS: For several years | was
broken In health, caused primarily by
stomach and nerve troubles. ! Sradu-
ally became worse, until recently ! was
compelled to 20 without solid food for
days at a time. | had sour stomach,
palpitation of the nerves OF stomach
and heart, dyspepsia. and extreme ner-
%vousness. | 5 filtered terribly with in
somnia. and my liver. bowels and
whole system gradually became de
ranged. | felt instant relief the first
day | began this Cooper medicine.
| now feel like Il new being. Today
| walked all over town, shopping
something | have not done for years.
Il make this statement wholly from
a sense Of duty. | feel | owe it to
anyone who might find relief and
renewed happiness as l have done"
The record made by the Cooper med
icines is astonishing. We will take
pleasure in discussing It with anyone
who wishes to know about them.

L. T. Cooper's theory concerning the
human stomach, which he claims tt
prove, with his new medicine, Is beina
given more respect and comment every
day.
Cooper claims that 90 per cent. o
all i'll health Is due to stomach trouble
When interviewed about his theory re
Gently, he said: Stomach trouble Is
the great curse of the 10Th century
sc far as the civilized races are con.
eerned. Practically all OF the chronic
i'll health of this generation is caused
by abnormal stomachic conditions. In
earlier days, when the human race was
closer to nature, and men ana women
worked all day out of doors, digging
their frugal existence from the soil
abe tired, droopy, half-sick people that
are now so common, did not exist.
ITO be sure, there was sickness in
those days, but it was Of a virulent
character, and only temporary. There
was none OF this half-sick condition
all the time with which SO many are
afflicted nowadays.
Il know positively that every bit Of
this chronic i'll health is caused by
stomach trouble. The human stomach
in civilized people today is degenerate.
II lacks tone and strength. This weak
ness has gradually come through a
sedentary existence. further know
that few people can be sick with the
digestive apparatus in perfect shape.
The sole reason for my success is be-
