TO RETAIN FORMULA
WHICH HAS MADE A FORTUNE

from users of this medicine that Is
arousing such universal discussion Is
one from Mrs. Emma Stanley, nvlng
in Chicago, at 713 Washington Boule-
ward who said: Perhaps I had the
most complicated case that Mr.. Cooper
had to deal with. I was troubled for
years with my stomach. I consulted
with doctors and took many patent
medicine preparations without result.
My stomach was in such a wretched
shape that I could not enjoy meal
that I ate.
II was very nervous, and could hard
ly sleep; I had a roaring in my ears
and dancing spots before my eyes L
felt very bad and weak. Then there
was a very sore spot at the pit Of my
stomach that nearly set me wild.
81 heard about the Cooper medicine
and decided to try 1t. I used four bot
ties, and the improvement in my case
has been really wonderful My nerves
have been quieted, and I am SO much
improved that I feel like a new wo-
man.
ST canot say too much for these
wonderful remedies, for they have made
me WE'LL
We sell the Cooper medicines and
consider them well worth a trial by any
one afflicted with chronic stomach
trouble and it's attendant diseases.

L. T. Cooper, the man who believes
that 80 per cent of all i'll health of
this generation is caused by stomach
trouble. is fast winning national faith
in his theory. His claim is now admit
ted by a surprising number of people
throughout the country, and he is gain
ing new adherents every day.
While speaking of his success In a
recent interview, Mr.. Cooper said: Il
believed ten years ago that any one
who could produce a formula that would
thoroughly regulate the stomach would
this formula I knew within six months
that I was right, and that my fortune
was made. 1 called the medicine
Cooper's New Discovery, although 1
did not get up the formula. I have
owned it, however, for over three years.
I have had one lawsuit over 1t, which
won in the courts. When it was settled
The Cooper Medicine Company became
the only firm in the world that can pre-
pare the medicine. The preparation has
sold like wildfire wherever introduced.
AS I have said before it is successful
simply because, it puts the stomach in
perfect shape, then nature does the
rest. There are any number of COM
plants never before associated with
stomach trouble that the medicine has
alleviated in thousands of cases."

FISH TRADE BOOMS.

New York. March An prepara-
ton of the Lenten season there was
offered for sale In New York this
morning 100000 pounds of fish, per-
haps the largest supply ever in the
city at one time. The consumption of
fish is greater at this than at anv
other season of the year. and prepara-
lions have been made this year for a
larger supply than ever before.
Most of the fish offered for sale to-
day comes off the ice but before the
season is over the fresh fish of the
spring will be coming into the market
in great quantities. Already shad is
in the market, but it comes in refriger-
ator cars from the Florida coast and
it will be a month before the fish
make their annual pilgrimage to the
northern streams which flow into the
Atlantic. Western salmon has be-
come a delicacy in the market this
year and fresh fish of that variety
brings SO cents in the market, while
frozen salmon sells at half that price.
