citement over the marvellous cures of L. T. Cooper continue unabated.
 One of the largest crowds that has yet called upon the noted philan- thropist visited him yesterday, and a remarkable demonstration of his power was given before the entire audience. Selecting an elderly gen. tleman, whom he noticed carrying an ear trumpet, Cooper motioned for him to come forward. He poured a few drops of the peculiar liquid into the mans ears and then rubbed them softly for moment. Stepping quickly backward to a distance of sixty feet, he asked in an ordinary conversational tone, Can you hear mel" A look of surprise and de light spread over the mans face as he answered, "Yes, 1 hear Eou per fectly."
 The gentleman was MT. John Auftning, 37 Boston avenue. MT. Auftning stated that he had been deaf many years. He said:
 For nearly nineteen years l heard nothing . had a terrible rumbling noise constantly in my head that was almost maddening. It appeared al about the time 1 lost my sense ot hearing, and no matter what reme. dies or treatment l tried, coulC find no relief. Once in a long while I could just barely distinguish a noise but in all those long years l was un able to hear human voice. 1 hac given up hope and had resigned my self to a life of silence when 1 reac of the Cooper preparations.
 Thirty days ago l began thu Cooper treatment, and my condition was almost immediately improved l began to have confidence and tool the remedies. faithfully. Now thanks to the Cooper medicines alone can hear.as well as ever did in m! life. My family, and everyone tha knows me, will testify to the won derful cure in my case. 1 shal always be grateful to Mir. Cooper fo what he has done for me, and l wan other people who are deaf to knov that there is yet hope for them"
 Many of those who called hat come to thank MT. Cooper for wha he had done for them, they having previously written him statemen of their condition and having follow ed his instructions, had returned t tell him of their cures.
 | A gentleman hy the name of Emi Winkler exhibited a glass jar con taining parasite eighty feet long which he claimed had passed fror his system after taking seven dose of Cooper's medicine. The parasit was alive and squirming, and MI | Winkler was anxious to know wha it was.
 | When Cooper informed him tn cause of his ill health had been re | moved, he was greatly relieved, an was profuse in his thanks to tn | philanthropist.
 Thousands of people viewed tn parasite, and expressed surprise tha such a thing could exist in tn human system.
 MT. Winkler is a well known cleo trician and resides at lS2 East Ohi street. In speaking of his experi ence, he sad:
 For five years l have been nor or less complaining. l have ha severe headaches and any food that would eat would nanseate me.
