offspring Of selfish and ungodly minds.
This selfish doctrine has started TO

hear the cry America for Americans
from the very ones whose fathers and

Meanwhile Young Cooper Is Emphasize
ing His Theory That Good
stomachs Are All
Important.

Chicago, Feb. "a. This city Is at pres.
ent in Che midst OF an excitement be-
yond anything that it has experienced
in recent years.
Old and young, rich and poor, all seem
to have become beside themselves over
an individual who was stranger to
Chicago until two weeks ago.
The man who has created all this tur-
MOL is +. Il Cooper Of Dayton, Ohio,
who Ii at present introducing his prepa.

Cooper il q man about thirty years
Of age, who has acquired fortune With

! Reports from eastern cities that pre-
ceded the Young man here were Of the
most startling nature. Many Of the
leading dailies going 80 far AS to state
that he lad cured i'll public places deaf
ness OF years standing with one Of his
preparations The physicians Of the
east contradicted this statement, claim
ing the thing 10 De impossible, but the
facts seemed to bear out the statement
that Cooper actually did 50.
In consequence people hocked to him
BY thousands, and his preparations sold
like widfre
Many of these stories were regarded
as fictitious in Chicago, and until Cooper
actually reached this city little attention
was paid to them. Hardly had the young
man arrived, however. than he began
demonstrations, az he calls them. in
public. and daily met people afflicted
with deafness, and with q single app6-
cation Of one Of his preparations actually
made deaf people hear again.
iii addition To this work Cooper ad
yanced the theory that stomach trouble
was the foundation of nine out of Ten
diseases, and claimed to have d prepare
tion that would restore the stomach to
working order and thus Get rid of such
troubles All rheumatism and affections
Of the kidneys and liver in about two
weeks time.
This statement seems to have been
borne out by the remarkable results OBJ
tanned through the use Of this prepare
tion, aud now all Chicago ID apparently
mad over the young man
His headquarters resemble a veritable
stampede Thousands Of people are Wis
iting him each day, and the druggists
are selling his medicines ii enormous
quantities.

fensiFe charitable work. and has already
