New York Shaken Up by the
Cooper Campaign.
Prejudice Takes a Back Seat In
Face Of Results.

New York, April 1.-THE astonish-
ing sale of Coopers preparations in
this city has now reached such i'm
ruense figures that the medical
fraternity at large have become forced
into open discussion of the man and
his preparations.
The physicians as whole seem to
be divided with regard to the young
mans success in New York, some be-
ing willing to credit him for what he
has accomplished. while others assert
that the interest he has aroused is but
a passing fad which cannot last, and
which will die out as quickly as it has
sprung up.
The opinion of these two factions is
very well voiced in the statements
made recently by two of a number of
physicians who were interviewed on
the subject.
One of New York's most prominent
physicians. when questioned about the
matter, said: Il have not been a be-
lever in proprietary medicines here
tofore, nor can I say that believe in
them at present. But 1 must admit
that some Of the facts recently
brought to my notice concerning this
man Cooper have gone far toward re-
moving the prejudice I had formed
against him when the unheard-of de-
mand for the preparations first sprang
UP in this city.
Numbers of my patients, whom I
have treated for chronic liver, kidney
and stomach troubles, have met me
after taking Cooper's remedies, and
have stated positively that he has
accomplished wonderful results Cor
them. l notice particularly in cases
Of stomach trouble that the man has
relieved several cases that were of
years standing and proved very OBJ
stinate In treatment
ct am the last man on earth to
stand in the way of anything that may
prove for the public good simply
through professional prejudice, and I
am inclined to give Cooper and his
preparations credit as deserving to
some extent the popular demonstra-
ton that has been accorded them in
this city"
Another well known physician who
was seen, took the opposite view OF
the "Cooper-mania." as he called it
which now has this city in its grip.
He said: II can only liken the present
state Of affairs to certain kind OF
hallucination. For want Of better
name I might call 1t 'Cooper-mania.'
The people of New York seem to be
Arm In the belief that this man Cooper
has health corked up in bottle.
"Some of them imagine that he has
completely cured them of various ills,
Judging from their statements. 1t is
beyond me to say why the city has
gone crazy over the man. It may be
safely put down, think. to one of the
pasaing fads that so often attack the
American public"
IN the meantime Cooper meets sew
eral thousand people daily, and only
smifes when statements Of the above
character are quoted to him. His
charitable work still continues to be
very extensive
