Boston. Feb 2O-The astonishing
sale of Cooper's preparations in this
city has now reached such immense
figures that the medical fraternity
at large have become forced into
open discussion of the men and his
preparations.
The physicians as a whole seem
to be divided with regard to the
young mans success in Boston, some
boing willing to credit him for wha.
he has accomplished. while others
assert that the interest he has arous-
ed Is but a passing fad which cannot
last. and which will die out as
quickly as II has sprung up.
The opinion of these two factions
Is very we'll voiced In the statements
made recently by two of number
of physicians who were interviewed
on the subject.
Ono of Boston's most prominent
physicians, when questioned about
the matter, caid: II have not been
believer In proprietary medicines
heretofore, nor can / say that be-
lieve In them at present. But I mrist
admit that some of the facts recently
brought to my notice concerning
this man Cooper have gone so far
toward removing the prejudice had
formed against him when the un-
heard-of demand for the preparo-
tions first. sprang up in this city.
Numbers of my patients whom
have treated for chronic liver,
kidney and stomach troubles, have
met me after taking Cooper's reme-
dics. and have stated positively that
he has accomplished wonderful re-
suits for them. I notice particu-
larry in cases OF stomach trouble
that the man has relieved several
cases that wero Of years standing
aud proved very obstinate In treat
ment.
"I am tho last man on earth to
stand In thn way OF anything that
may provo for the public good sim
ply through professional prejudice,
end en- inclined TO give Cooper and
his preparations credit az deserving
to some extent the popular demon
stration that has boon accord ID
them in this city"
Another w0ll known physician
who was seen took the opposite view
OF tho "Coopcr-nanIa," as he called
n. which now has this city In It's grip
He said: 81 can only like tho pres
ent stste OF affhirs to a certain kind
OF hallucinatlon. For want OF bott Or
name ! might cell II "Cooper-man-
n" The people OF Boston seem to
be firm In tie belief that this man
Cooper has health corked up in a
bottle.
"sone OF them imagine that he
has completely cured them of vari-
Gus Ills. judging from their state
ments. II Is beyond me TO say why
the city has gone crazy over the man
IL may be safely put down. think.
to one of the passing fads that So
often attaek the American public"
In the meantime Cooper meets sew
eral thousands people daily, and on
ly smiles when statements OF the
above character are quoted TO him,
His charitable work still continues
TO be very extensive.

Farm labor is In great demand and
good wages; house help is badly need

known to be any better. The trouble

there Is no good reason why working
people should flock TO the city.

Sir,--Wlth regard to the story told

issue Off your paper to-day. beg to
say thae the incident as told by the
English gentleman was hardly founded
on fact He refers to the circumstance
that Mr.. Benjamin's offices We're closed

Mr.. BENJAMIN formally retired from
practice in London on February 9,s1SS2;
that the farewell banquet of the bench
and bar was rendered him on June
530th Of that year: that he spent the
