During L. T. Cooper's recent stay
in Boston, 1t is estimated that sixty.
five thousand people talked with him
and purchased his medicine. This
is an average of over two thousand a
day.
His success was so phenomenal as
to cause universal comment both by
the public and the press. There must
be a reason for this. Here Is the
reason given in his own words by Mr..
Cooper when interviewed on the sub
sect. He said:
The immense numbers of people
who are calling on me mere in Boston
is not unusual. | have had the same
experience for the past two years
wherever / have gone. The reason is
a simple one. 1t Is because my medi-
cine puts the stomach in good condi-
ton. This does not sound unusual,
but II is in fact the key to health. The
stomach Is the very foundation OF
life. ] attribute 80 per cent. OF
all sickness directly to the stomach.

ratus. Few can be sick with diges-
ton in perfect condition. AS matter
of fact, most men and women today
are half-sick. 1t is because too much
food and too little exercise have grad
ually forced the stomach into half
sick condition. My medicine gets the
stomach back where 1t was, and that
is ar that Is necessary"
Among Boston people who are
staunch believers in Mr.. Coopel's
theory. is Mr.. Frank d. Brown. of 81
