The new theory advanced by L. T.
Cooper relative to the human stom-
ach has attracted such widespread
attention that the public in cities
visited by the young man has been
goined by many physicians In a dis
'cussion Of his beliefs and medicines.
s Mr.. Cooper says that human health
Is dependent almost entirely upon
the stomach. He says that no dis.
ease can be conquered without first
Rlleviating all stomach disorders. He
further says that most men and wom-
en Of this generation are half-sick,
owing to degenerate stomachs. And
lastly, he claims that his New Dis
covery medicine will rejuvenate the
human stomach in 80 days.
Cooper has been travelling from
one city to another, conducting In
each what he calls a campaign Of
education. For the past year he has
met the public In the larger cities
OF the country, and his success has
been phenomenal. Thousands OF
people have flocked to his headquar-
ters wherever he has gone, and the
sale Of his medicine has been beyond
anything of the kind ever before
witnessed.
:. Possibly the most interesting fea'
4ure of the attention this young man
has attracted is what his army Of
followers, whom he has converted to
his beliefs through his medicines,
have to say on the subject. The fol.
lowing statements are from two well
known residents Of Chicago and Bos-
ton, respectively, and the enthusiasm
4of these Is characteristic Of Coopers
admirers generally.
Mrs. n. B. Mack, of 1901 State
street, Chicago, says: IT have been

bination Of stomach troubles, catarrh

ache, and my mind seemed to be
wandering continually. I could not
eat, and what little solid food ! did
eat could not retain on my stomach.
I tried every remedy could think OF,
and also tried out number Of patent
medicines, but without any apparent
result. It was through one OF my
friends that I heard of Coopers prep
aration, and / Immediately decided
to try some Of it. 1t is two weeks

I feel like q new woman. The head
ache seems to have disappeared, and
the pain In my stomach along with
it. The medicine Is worth its weight

Cooper for what he has done for

Mr.. Edwin F. Morse, Of 20 Oakley

ton, says: "For three years had
not q we'll day. My stomach was In
frightful shape; the mere thought of
food would nauseate> me, and really
had q horror of anything to eat. All
solid food would cause me extreme
indigestion, bloating and gas on my
stomach, and nothing tasted right.
Some time ago I got some Of this
Cooper's medicines, about which
there is so much talk. I actually
feel as we'll and strong as a boy ever
since the first bottle. Every sign of
stomach trouble has disappeared, and
/ have a hearty appetite and eat
