In the June American MaRaxine David
Grayson, author OF Adventures in Con-

calls ION Being Where You Belong" In
the course of the article the author makes
the following diagnosis OF what brings
contentment:
Every man IS a magnet highly and sim

fields and woods and hills. and are drawn
In return; and some draw swift streets
and the riches which are known to cities.

but that we really draw. And the great
est tragedy in life. as I see it, is thai
thousands Of men and women never have
the opportunity to draw with freedoms,
but they exist in weariness and labor, and
are drawn upon like inanimate objects by
those who live in unhappy idleness. They

gestive apparatus that is doing its full

this above all else brings health"
Mr.. A. c. Brock, chef of the Brock
Restaurant, Market District, Boston,
Mass, who is a staunch believer in Mr..
Cooper's theory and medicine, has this
to say: Il had chronic indigestion for
over three years. I suffered terribly,
and lost about thirty pounds. I was
physical wreck when I started this
Cooper medicine, month or so ago.
Today 1 am as we'll as / ever was in
my life. I am no longer nervous, my
food does not distress me in the least,
and I have a splendid appetite. I am
gaining flesh very rapidly-in fact, at
the rate of pound a day. I would
not believe any medicine on earth
could have done for me what this has
done. 1t is remarkable preparation
and Mr. Cooper deserves all his sue
cess"
We recommend the Cooper prepara-
tions as being remarkable medicines.

YOUNG Man HAS
new THEORY
Human Life Seems Conferred In Stomach.
All Else Is Secondary.

The Immense success which has fol-
lowed L. r. Cooper during the past
year with his new preparation has ex-
ceeded anything of the kind ever be-
fore witnessed in most OF the leading
cities where the young man has intro
duced the medicine. Cooper has q
novel theory. He believes that the hui
man stomach is directly responsible
for most disease To quote his own
words from an interview upon his ar
rival in an eastern city: "The average
man or woman cannot be sick if the
stomach is working properly. To be
sure, there are diseases of viTu1ent
nature, such as cancer, tubercl Hosis,
diabetes, etc, which are organic and
are not traceable 10 the stomach, but
even fevers can, in nine cases out Of
fen, be traced to something taken into
rhe stomach. All Of this half-sick,
nervous exhaustion that is now so
common, is caused by the stomachic
conditions, and it is because my rem
edy will and does regulate the stom-
ach that am meeting with such sue
cess.
