REMARKABLE RECORD

Young Man with New Theory Is Astonish-
ingly Successful in Minneapolis

The remarkable success that has at
tended L. T. Cooper during the past
year has not been confined to any one
locality, but is so widespread that the
young man is now q well-knoWn figure

country.
Mr. Cooper believes that the stom-
ach is the foundation for most i'll
health, and claims that his prepare
ton. by regulating the stomach. is a
true specific for most diseases. The
following extract from the Tribune Of
Minneapolis gives an idea of the sur
prising number Of people who are ac-
ceDting Cooper's theory. The article
was one of many that appeared during
Cooper's stay in Minneapolis. and is as
follows:
The sale of Cooper's preparation
IS now phenomenal in this city and
an estimate made today seems to indi-
cate beyond all doubt that it will equal

er spent in that city.
During the past twenty-five days
Mr.. Cooper has been in Minneapolis,
the sale Of his preparation has aver
aged about two thousand bottles a day
When the amount of medicine disposed
of throughout the state is added to
this, the amount viii be doubled.
Therefore. the young man has sold in
twenty-five days lightweight thousand
bottles Of his medicine in the state OF
Minnesota alone. which is a truly re-
maTkabIe record.
During the past week so many hun
dreds of Minneapolis people have been
calling to thank Cooper for the good
he has accomplished with his medi-
cine. that it is safe TO say that his
visit win long be remembered by the
sick of the city"

Being II stubborn young person, Daisy
shifted when the Cartcrcts suggested
sending the dog In by express. She
glanced ut the St. Bcrnnrd puppy and
tossed her small shnpcly head.

With nod Of thanks, Daisy turned
away. But she had no intention OF

She had declared her ability to gel
