| In connection with the intense in
terest manifested by the public at
large in the theory of l.. II. Cooper
as to the human stomach being the
source of nearly all i'll health, the
statements Of Mr.. w. D. Spaulding, of
Hallowel, Me-, one of the oldest and
best known druggists in that state,
and of Mrs Frederick Harvey, we'll
known nurse living in the same place,
will be interesting to thousands of
persons who are today suffering from
ailments directly traceable to the
stomach. The fact that these state
ments are made voluntarily, under
oath, removes all element of doubt. The
statements follow:

confidence of the public by never rec

established The Cooper Remedies
were to. us an unknown quality, we
were very skeptical Of their medicinal
value, and it was not until several of
our customers had received such bene-
fetal results from their use that we
could no longer doubt their value that
we consented to take the agency for
the Cooper Remedies in this territory
heartily endorsing the same.
Herewith we give t he testimonial
Of lady whose case came under our
personal observation from her being
regular customer. and she says:
