DO NOT KNOW WHAT
CAUSES SICKNESS
Modern People Have Many Names for Same
Diseases, According to New Belief.

Does human health depend on one
organ alone? This question is be-
coming widely discussed since l.. r.
Cooper first advanced his theory that
the stomach is the true seat of life and
ali health dependent upon it,
Mr. Cooper. who has met with re-
new medicine, believes that the stom-
ach is responsible for most sickness.
and that this organ is weak in the
present generation. While discussing
this theory recently, ne said: st am
asked time and again to tell why my
medicine has made such record
wherever 1 have introduced it. My
answer always is, because it restores
the stomach to a normal condition.
No one will deny that today there are

ever before. Nothing critical seems to

of these diseases at different times. A
very common complaint is all run

are so. and the number is growing by

the subject:
