THE HISTORY
Of New Formula is Given by Mr..
Cooper in An Interview.
Says it was Formerly Property of
German Chemist.
This Man Spent Years in Per
fecting it for the World.
COOPER WILLED THE SECRET
By His Uncle at the Time of His
Death in New York City.

L. T. Cooper. the man who is intro
ducing for the first time in Topeka the
preparations that have proved so won
derfully effective in other cities. and
have brought their owner an enor-
nous fortune in a very short time, was
seen for few moments at his head
quarters, Stansfield's drug store, 632
Kansas avenue, yesterday.
He was asked by the reporter: 'Mr.
Cooper. would you mind stating when
mula from which your remedies are
prepared?'' After hesitating a mo-
ment. the young man said: mo, I
think I may tell you. In 1896 my
in hospital in New York a German
chemist who had been struck by
street car. The man had been in this
country only a short time and could
barely speak English. He was without
money or friends and was so badly
injured that there was little hope for
him. He lived for some time. how
ever, and gave to my uncle a formula
which he claimed would produce a
marvellous preparation as a cure for
stomach liver and kidney trouble and
all diseases of the mucous membranes
The man had papers showing that he
was graduate Of the Berlin university
and at one time had been an Instructor
in chemistry in one of them. He stated
that he had spent his life in perfectfng
the formula, and had come to this
country to put it before some capital
lists. My uncle had the preparation
made up and tried it with astonishing
good results, but as he was engrossed
in his general practice, did nothing to-
ward putting the preparation on the
market. At the time OF his death,
which occurred in 1900, came into
possession of the formula. I was also
willed $4,000 by him, and with this
as my capital started in 1901 to put
the formula on the market. This was
the starting point of my success. The
remedy has sold in enormous Quanti-
ties wherever introduced and is, I be-
heve, the most certain cure for catarrh.
rheumatism and stomach trouble IN
the world today. By next week you
will begin to see what the remedy &C
complishes, as I will have people COM
ing by hundreds to express their thanks
for what the remedy has done for
them"
There was a stream of people going
in and out of Stansfield's drug store
yesterday afternoon. made up of call
ers who wished to purchase these
remedies. Preparations are sold on
trial only, but If they do as claimed.
Cooper should make a small fortune in
Topeka alone, as the medicine is going
like wild fire. If he does as in other
cities, however, the amount of money
he donates for charitable purposes will
reduce his cravings materially. II

PASS COUNTERFEIT MONEY.
Were Poor limitations Of Silver Certifi-
Gates, But Merchants Took Them.

Curranville, Kan. Feb. 14.-This
place and Fuller were visited this week
by two strangers who succeeded in
passing several counterfeit bills. The
certificates and at several places where
the strangers tried to pass them they
were refused.
The strangers worked together, ap-
parently, and their plan was for one to
enter a place of business while the
other held team of horses on the
outside.
The one who did most of the inside
work was of medium height and rather
stout built. At several of the places
at the next place he would remove the
glasses and in that manner confused
several of the business men.
The first place visited in Curranvills
was at Mr.. Wilson's, where both enter
ed the building. The one with glasses
Mr.. Wilson complied with his request
but within a few minutes noticed that
the bill was a counterfeit. He demand
ed his change back At this point the
second one came into the play by
claiming that the bill was all right and
that If Mr.. Wilson was not satisfied he
would give him five silver dollars for
the bill. Mr.. Wilson was glad to make
the change back, and the strangers
Immediately departed.
From this place they drove to Fuller
where they were more successful in
their efforts. Jim Browning's place
was visited and here they succeeded in
changing one ten dollar bill for silver.
They made a hurried exit and Mr..
Browning is $40 the loser by their
visit.
At another place in Fuller they at
tempted to pass a $40 bill but the pro-
prietor noticed the largeness of the bill
and also that it did not look right and
refused to change 1t.

The TRUTH ABOUT
KIDNEY TROUBLE

Kidney trouble is inflammation of
the kidneys due to colds, exposure,
worry, excuses in eating and drink
ing, etc.
Inflammation of the kidneys
Smokiness or sediment that can be
seen with the naked eye are not US
ually evidences of a very serious stage
Of the Inflammation. Both often
show in people otherwise well and
ing cause.
The patient should diet, avoid colds
and live carefully and the ordinary
case of kidney trouble will with care
and treatment usually disappear the
first few weeks.
continued evidence of disordered kid
neys, it should demand the attention
of the patient in view of the position
taken by medical writers that about
the sixth month the inf1amed condi-
ton becomes chronic and incurable.
1t will be seen through all the
above that the real trouble is inf1am-
nation in the kidneys. While there
are many kidney stimulants they
have been abandoned by physicians,
for they now know that none Of them
carry repair to fnfiamed kidneys.
The late John J. Fulton was the
first man in the world to discover an
emollient that reaches the kidneys.
It reverses the old treatment. In
stead of irritating the infiamed kid
neys with stimulants, the effect Is
the gradual reduction of the infiam-
nation and for the first time kidney
disease, both in the first and second
stages, is amenable to treatment,
Fulton's Renal Compound abating
the Inflammation in about 81 per cent
of all cases.

The African Negro
Has Beautiful Pearly Teeth, Clean
White and Perfect, Without a
Flaw, Even In Old Age.
Living Near to Nature, His Digestion
Is Perfect.


DR.. Livingstone, and later, Henry
Stanley, both of whom spent much time
in the exploration Of Africa. in their
memoirs mention the fact that mem
bers of all the tribes that they came in
contact with possessed beautiful, white,
pearly, sound teeth; and that on inves-
tigation they found that this was due
to the fact that the digestive organs Of
the negro had never been impaired, and
that they were able at all times to take
care of the coarse foods that were ta-
ken into the stomach.
The negroes food is Of the plainest
kind and is seldom if ever cooked. 1t Is
eaten as it is found with but little
preparation.
The cause of unsound and imperfect
teeth found among civilized people is
due to two important facts-the prev
alence of dyspepsia, indigestion and
stomach troubles, and the food we eat.
In the foods that we eat there is a
lack Of phosphates and other materials
necessary to make repairs and supply
the waste in the teeth.
Then again few people in civilized
interferes with the whole system and
causes trouble everywhere.

pepsia and eat proper foods. and you
win have little trouble with them.
