PECULIAR PROPERTIES
OF new MEDICINE
Cooper Preparation Attracts Widespread At
tentiOn by Expecting Internal
Parasites.

The interest created In leading cities
during tho past year by young Mr..
Cooper with his new preparation, is
largely accounted for by a peculiar
quality possessed by this medicine,
which he calls his New Discovery.
Mr.. Cooper believes that internal
parasites, or tapeworms, are respon-
sible for much I'll health, and 1t is an
undoubted fact that his medicine has
expelled immense numbers of these
creatures in various cities visited by
him. The young man also believes
that stomach trouble is the main cause
OF all iii health. He claims that few
ran have poor health with a good di-
gestion. He further claims that his
New Discovery medicine does nothing
but tone up the stomach, yet IL not
only expels the parasites, but relieves
many other ailments not as a rule as
ISOLATED with stomach trouble.
Little Jessie Birdsall, daughter OF
Mrs. Ida Birdsall, living at 213S Car
roll Avenue, Chicago. is among many
relieved OF q large parasite by Mr..
Cooper's preparation during his stay
in that city. In speaking of the mat
ter TO Mr.. Cooper, the mother said !:
MY child Jessie, who Is fourteen years
old, has been suffering with this
trouble for over seven years. Until
this morning we did not know what

Exposed the Scheme.

After expanding $4,000 Of the
peoples money within the last
year to fight the payment Of the
Virginia certificates it has Just
dawned on the Republican state
administration that West Virginia
is in fair way Of being compelled
to pay the certificates. The happy
thought occurred TO Gov. Dawson
that a nOnpartisan commission
composed Of Republicans and
Democrats, 10 advise with the
governor and the board Of public
works, would serve to hold the
Democrats equally responsible for
the payment Of the certificates.
But the Hon. John J. Cornwell in
declining to serve on the commits
sion exposed the scheme. All
honor 10 John Cornwell. The
people Of West Virginia have not
forgotten him and in the future
they arc going 10 reward him.
When The state is redeemed
from The Dawson machine the
people will have reason 10 be
thankful.

the trouble was. She was extremely
nervous; the least little thing would
upset her; her tongue was coated, and
at times she would have q good ap-
petite, then again could not bear the

when she got up of mornings. We
tried everything to relieve her, but
met with no success. We were Just

sic has been using 1t regularly, and

always felt bad, and nothing we would
give her seemed TO relieve her. Now
that she Is relieved OF this fapeworn

Mr.. Cooper, your medicine is worth a

The Organ Admits II.

The Intelligencer like many others. has in mo-
ments Of irritation spoken of the legislature II
the best thing II could do TO quit trying TO do
anything. That Is. of course. the unbusiness-like
view TO take. Our legislature is the supreme law
making body of a state of over one million people
In addition to providing the necessary criminal
and civil law of the state IL is charged with the
obligation Of raising and spending wisely over
Ss.ooo.0oo every two years.-Wheeling Intelli-
Rencer.
When THE ARGUS stated for the
information of the taxpayers that
the Dawson administration had
increased the state appropriations
from 100000 to $6,000,000 the
lntelligencer denied the statement
and said "the editor of THE ARGUS
was always an amusing liar" The
Grafton Sentinel in commenting
on 1T called attention that THE
ARGUS had changed hands and
"the former editor was never as
reckless with the facts as the pres
ent editor" In order to give an
exhibition of its own dense ignor-
ance the Journal "butted in" and
said something about the ignor-
ance of The ARGUS.
Now comes the Intelligencer in
an unguarded moment and admits
that the state appropriations for
the four years of Dawsonism will
cost the taxpayers over $4,000, 900
by raising and spending wisely
OVER 100000 every TWO
years. Thus the Wheeling organ
sustaius the charges of THE ARGUS
that the state appropriations have
been increased from 100000
under the last Democratic admin.
istration to over sc, 100000 under
the Dawson machine administra.
ton. In fact, it will reach ST..
100000 before they get through
with the extra sessions.
The truth of the matter is that
neither the Intelligencer nor the
Sentinel knew what the state ap-
| preparations were under the Daw.
son "business-like and economical
administration and could not be.
lieve there had been such a stu
pendous increase in the state ap-
preparations. They simply thought
a denial would suffice, believing,
no doubt, that THE ARGUS was as
ignorant Of the state appropria-
tons as the Dawson organs But
The ARGUS called the bluff aud
defied the organs TO prove from
the public records that it had mis-
stated the facts. This, no doubt,
led the Intelligencer TO look up
the records, and when it did it
found that the statement of The
ARGUS was perfectly accurate.
Now the Wheeling organ confirms
THE ARGUS statement and admits
that which is fatal to the cause
which it vocales-Da wsonism
and fake taxation.
