RETIRED BUSINESS MAN
FAvORS new THEORY
E. III. Lambert, of Everett, Massachusetts
Believes Stomach the Seat of ife

One of the most interesting state
lnents made recently concerning the
much discussed Cooper theory, that
has spread over the country during the
past year. is made by h. III. Lambert,
81 retired business man, whose home is
at 115 Francis Street, Everett, Mass.
Mr.. Lambert has this to say in con-
nection with Cooper and his medi-
cineS: Some time ago / read an ar
ticlc about this man Cooper. in which
he claimed that stomach trouble was
directly responsible for most i'll health.
He went on to say that. although his
medicine did nothing but get the stom-
ach in sound condition, it wonld, in
many cases, remove kidney and liver
trouble and various other ailments.
lie argued from this that the stomach
was the main cause OF sickness, and
stated that the success he has had
with his medicines was due entirely
to this fact.
Il am now fully convinced that this
theory is correct, and believe Cooper
has really remarkable medicine,
Judging from my own experience.
y have been sick man for five

been astounded by what it has done
for me. l was relieved to some extent
within "a hours. Today my health is
better than for five years, and so far
as | can tell, my kidney trouble has
disappeared.
My wife, who had stomach trouble
for some time, tried the preparation
after noting its action in my case.
and her Improvement is fully as mark
ed as mine. She now eats heartily
three times day without any distress
whatsoever. Her Nervousness has also
left her. / certainly believe this mans
success is fully justified, as he I'M

cines to all who wish to know of them.
