An adequate idea of the intense in
terest which has been aroused by
young Mr. Cooper during the past year
with his theories and medicines is
given in the following article which
appeared in the Cincinnati Post while
Cooper was introducing his ideas to
the people of that city. The article
saws: "The beginning of Mr.. Cooper's
second week in Cincinnati gives every
indication that he is to enjoy the same
astonishing success here as in other
cities.
From the first day of his visit the
crowds that call to see him have stead
i1y increased, until now it has reached
a point where several thousand talk
with him each day. The entire city
seems to have become interested in his
theory that the human stomach is
degenerate, and he already has an
army Of followers in Cincinnati who
seem positive that his claims are cor
rect.
"a number of Cincinnatians were
interviewed at Cooper's headquarters
on Friday, and several interesting
statements, showing their intense faith
in Cooper's preparations, were secured.
The following are selected from these
statements and are characteristic of
them all: Mrs. M. e. Emerson of $50
