Received Grateful Thanks
Of Hundreds in pittsburg

The following article taken from
the Pittsburg Press, describes the re-
suits of l.. T. Coopers visit to that
city, and the effect of his new prepare
tion as told by people who had become
convinced of the soundness of Cooper's
theories with regard TO the human
stomach.
Cooper believes that the human
stomach in civilized races has become
greatly weakened. He claims that
most of the i'll health of the present
generation is due to that fact. The
article is as follows:
al. T. Cooper is meeting with the
same astonishing success in Pittsburg
as in other cities. For the past few
Gays many thousands of Pittsburg peo-
PIE have called at his headquarters to
talk with him.
"Cooper's prophecy. made upon his
arrival, to the effect that before he
left Pittsburg thousands would realize
that his theory is correct and would
come and thank him for what his med
icine had done, is rapidly being borne
cut.

four years my wife was in very poor

a hectic flush and cough. Physicians
said she had consumption, and | was
inclined to believe them. 1t certainly
looked as though her days were num-
bered, and there appeared to be very
little ground for hope.

results that had been obtained by per-
sons who had tried his medicines. so
