The interest created in leading
cities during the past year by young
Mr.. Cooper with his new preparation
is largely accounted for by a peculiar
quality possessed by this medicine,
which he calls his New Discovery.

parasites, or tapewOrms. are respon-
sible for much i'll health, and it is an
undOubted fact that his medicine has
expelled immense numbers OF these
creatures in various cities visited by
him The young man also believes
that stomach trouble is the main
cause of ali i'll health. He claims
that few can have poor health with
a good digestion. He further claims
that his New Discovery medicine does
nothing but tone Up the stomach, yet
it not only eXpels the parasites, but
relieves many other ailments not as
rule associated with stomach
trouble

Mrs. Ida Birdsall. living at 213S Car
