ENTIRE CITY INTERESTED
IN YOUNG MAN
cooper's New Theory Attracts Widespread
Attention During Stay in Cincinnati.

An adequate idea of the intense in.
tereEt which has been aroused BY
young Mr.. Cooper during the past year
with his theories Gnd medicines Is
given in the following article which
appeared in the Cincipnau Post Wide
Cooper was introducing l,s Ideas e
the people Of that city. The article
says: The beginning Of Mr.. Cooper'a
second week in Cincinnati gives every
indication that he is to enjoy the same
astonishing success here as IN other
cities.
''From the first day Of his visit the
crowds that call to see him have stead
fly increased, until now it has reached
O point where several thousand talk
With him each day. The entire city
seems to have become interested IN his
theory that the human stomach Is
degenerate, and he already has an
army OF followers in Cincinnati who
seem positive that his claims are cor
rect.
"A number of CincinnatIans were
interviewed at Cooper's headquarters
on Friday. and several interesting
statements, showing their intense faith
in Cooper's preparations, were sssaiss;.
The following are selected from these
stetements and are characteristic Of

Colorado Lambs,

r. NJ. White, Editor, Mexico, Mo.
Fort Collins, Ooio., March Z, 1908 :
The movement Of fat lambs from Colo.
RADIO to the Eastern markets has be.
gun and will continue at a lively rate
until as late as May.
This Is perhaps the banner year fol
Colorado In point Of numbers as there
have been fed over 550,00 lambs dur.
ing this season.
There is active demand In the east
for Colorado lambs many Of which
have been fattened on beet pulp and
are more delicate and OF finer flavor
than those raised elsewhere.
The market this year is lower, how
ever than last, $3.50 being tbe present
price per cwt against as high as sS.65
last year.
Many feeders will probably lose the
cost Of feed because Of low markets.
Practically everything costs more
money than last year. Lambs put in
the feed lots cost s5.25 to $500 while
last season they were bought at from
$3.50 to $500 and corn is costing sl.2O
per cwt as compared with soc per
cWt lastyear, but alfalfa was secured
at $500 q ton in the stack, or about
the same as the previous year.
The weather man has been on the
side Of feeders, dealing out an ideal
orand Of climate and lambs are in
prime condition, the bulk to be mar
keted weighing 90 pounds or better,
they are becoming 50 fat just now that
they will have to be rushed of oy the
train load regardless Of market quota
tions. Most Of these Colorado lambs
go clear through to Chicago and many
OF them to Buffalo, N. Y.

A prunkard'. Testimonial.

Akron, Ohio.-Yesterday on the
street corner in shis city was deliver
ed one OF the most remarkable ad-
dresses ever heard here. The speaker
was man by the name OF Hishler,
whom many Of bis hearers could re-
member as having been very brilli-
ant young student, comparatively a
few years ago, but hwho for ten years
past has been . wellIknown figure In
the police courts. Not less than SIX
hundred men listened to him, and In
part the unfortunate fellow said:
II don't claim to be q reformer,
boys, It's simply remorse that makes
me get up here. and talk. Remorse
sets In after a drunk with every man.
Then is the time be thinks and wants
to say something to warn somebody

"To-night / may be wallowlng in

sired as when went to bed. l had Q
dull pain in the lower part Of my back
! have taken almost one bottle OF the
New Discovery and am so wonderfully
improved that I have come down here
10 thank Mr.. Cooper in person and OBJ
tain more os the medicine
Another individual interviewed was
Mr.. J. II. Brooks, living at 527 Walnut
street. who had the following to say:
Tor the past eighteen months | have
been constant sufferer frcm catarrh
OF the head and stomach. My nasal
passages would become infamed and
sore. would have severe headaches.
which affected my eyes, and great
crusts OF matter would drop into the
throat causing an Irritation OF the
bronchial passages. until the stomach
finally became poisoned When l would
lay down at night n phlegm would
gather In my throat until 1t almost
choked me, and would cause an an
Roying cough. Half a bottle OF
Cooper's New Discovery gave me re-
lief, and when the first bottle was fin
ished ! felt like a new man. I am
now completely cured and consider
Coopor's New Discovery the greatest
eatarrh, blood and stomach remedy In
the world"
The Cooper preparations have been
wonderfully successful throughout the
United States. We consider them re-
markable medicines and would be
pleased to oxplain the nature OF them.
