The interest created in leading cities
during the past year by young Mr..
Cooper with his new preparation, is
largely accounted for by peculiar
quality possessed by this medicine.
which he calls his New Discovery.
Mr.. Cooper believes that internal
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 all i'll health. He claims that few
can have poor health with a good di-
gestion 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 as
sociated with stomach trouble.
Little Jessie Birdsall, daughter of
Mrs. Ida Birdsall, living at 2138 Car
roll Avenue, Chicago, is among many
relieved Of large parasite by Mr..
Cooper's preparation during his stay
in that city. In speaking of the mat
ter to Mr.. Cooper, the mother said:
my child Jessie, who is fourteen years
old, has been suffering with this
trouble for over seven years. Until

HOW ANIMALS CLlMb.
sealy Tailed Squirrels, the sloths and
the MaIsaasy Bate.

How certain animals have In the
long course of years adapted them
selves to tree climbing is described by
q writer in the Scientific American.
He says: "A group of African rodents,
the scaly tailed squirrels. have devel-
oped OH the under surface OF the tail
certain structures which may be com
pared to the climbing irons used by
workmen These take the form OF
few transverse rows of large. trian-
guar, horny scales with their points
directed backward, These scales when
pressed against the bark of tree
must afford material aid In climbing.
Another group of animals in which
climbing irons have been developed
Is that of the scaly ant eaters. or pan
collins, of India and Asia. creatures
which look more like living fir cones
than mammals. The scales-much lar
ger than those of the rcnly tailed squlr-
rels-cover both surfaces OF the body
as well as the head and limbs. so that
1t can scarcely be supposed they have
been developed for climbing Indeed.
only a few species climb, but these
have found the assistance afforded by
the scales on the under side of value in
an ascent and habitually make use Of
them as climbing irons.
"Quite a different type of climbing,
or, rather, hanging, apparatus has been
developed in the sloths of tropical
America, which spend their time in
the treetops, where they remain sus-
pended back downward by their hook
ike claws. These claws. which may
be three or two have been modified
from ordinary claws and afford strik-
ing instance of adaptation TO an alb
rotmal mode Of life z Ae thumb of
ldts is likewise notified into hook
like claw, also used for suspending
purposes when the creatures hang
head upward. General. however.
bats suspend themselves head down
ward by the hind claws. grasping pow
er being retained by the toes. so that
the modification has not heen carried
to the same extent ~ in sloths, in
which the claws act in mechanical
manner.
Certain bats appear TO have found
tGcir hoolllike thuills sd hind feet
ins,cicient for suspension and have
made use of the sucker principle for
this purpose. This mode of suspension
has been developed independently in
two distinct bats, one II native of Bra
I'll and the other of Madagascar. In
the Brazilian species the suckers take
the form of stalked disks attached to
the palms of the thumDs and the soles
Of the feet. The suckers of the Mala-
gasy species are horseshoe-like. BY
means Of the suckers theae bats are
able to ascend vertical surfaces"

the trouble was. She was extremely
nervous; the least little thing would
upset her; her tongue was coated, and
at times she would have good ap-
petite, then again could not bear the
sight of food; she was restless at
night, had a bad breath, especially
when she got up of mornings. We
tried everything to relieve her, but
met with no success. We were Just
on the point of giving up trying any
thing else, when we began to read Of
Cooper's New Discovery. Several days
ago we purchased this medicine. Jes-
sic has been using it regularly, and
this morning this parasite left her
system. I don't wonder that she has
always felt bad, and nothing we would
give her seemed to relieve her. Now
that she is relieved of this tapeworm
I feel sure that she will grow better
each day, and enjoy perfect health
Mr.. Cooper, your medicine is worth a
thousand times more than you charge
for it. I know of a number of people
troubled the same way as Jessie has
been, and I certainly expect to tell
them personally to try your medicine"
We would advise anyone who has
been troubled for some time with gen.
eral poor health to try this great n3ed,,
icine. We are agent for it in this city.
