PARASITES THAT SAP LIFE
EXPELLED BY new METHOD

The interest created in leading cities
during the past year by young Mr..
Cooper with his new preparation, is
largely accounted for by q peculiar
quality possessed by this medicine,
which he calls his New Discovery.
Mr. Cooper believes that internal
parasites, or tapeworms, are respon-
sible for much i'll health, and it is. an
undoubted fact that his medicine has
expelled immense numbers Of these
creatures in various cities visited by
him. The young man also believes
that stomach trouble is the main cause
of all i'll health. He claims that few
can have poor health with good d.
gestion. He further claims that his
New Discovery medicine does nothing
but tone up the stomach, yet it not
only expels the parasites, but relieves
many other ailments not as a rule as
ISOLATED with stomach trouble.
Little Jessie Birdsall, daughter of
Mrs. Ida Birdsall, living at 213S Car
roll Avenue, Chicago, is among many
relieved Of large parasite by Mr..
Cooper's preparation during bis stay
in that city. In speaking of the mat
ter to Mr.. Cooper, the mother said:
my child Jessie, who is fourteen years
old, has been suffering with this
trouble for over seven years. Until
this morning we did not know what

Stephen D, Lee.

Soldier rest, thy warfare o'er,
Sleep the sleep that knows no
breaking;
Dream of battlefields no more,
Days of danger, nights of
waking"
Taps have been sounded for
another hero. Another Of the
heroic host which in defense of
home and native land illumined
the pages of history with fade
less glory has answered the final
roll call. Another intrepid sol
der and trusted leader has gone
to join the shadowy legions en-
can1ped 'bey ond the river" !.
While yet the notes of his own
official call to his comrades sum-
moning them to gather in annual
reunion hung upon the air there
came to him the relentless sum-
mons from obedience to which
neither rank, nor station nor
power can purchase exemptisa.
While yet the tones of his voice
pleading before those whom erst-
while he had met in deadly con-
f1ict for peace and the oblitera-
ton of all bitter memories ech-
oed throughout the land, that
voice was hushed into eternal
silence. His heart surcharged
with memories Of an eventful
and glorious past, and With pat
riotic love for the common coui1-
try, yielded to the unwonted
strain and ceased it's pulsations
forever, and the stately and
towering form which so often
loofned I'D amid the very fercest
of the fighting is 1loW hearsed in
the majestic dignity Of death.
In sight Of the historic and
Hateful fields wherein he had
with consumrnata skill and
dauntless daring led his heroic
legions he passed over to join the
innumerable host of the re-
deemed. Calmly. peacefully,
trustingly, he laid his hand in
the hand Of the cruciied, and
from Him took the Christian S
crown of life eternal. Faithful
son of Southland -chiyalric sol
der, knightly gentleman sweet

land thou didst love so we'll and

at times she would have good APP
petite, then again could not bear the
sight OF food; she was restless at
night, had a bad breath. especially
when she got UP Of mornings. We
tried everything to relieve her, but
met with no success. We were just
on the point of giving up trying any
thing else, when we began to read Of
Coopers New Discovery. Several days
ago we purchased this medicine. Jes-
sic has been using it regularly, and
this morning this parasite left her
system. | don't wonder that she has
always felt bad, and nothing we would
give her seemed to relieve her. Now
that she is relieved of this tapeworm

each day, and enjoy perfect health.
Mr.. Cooper, your medicine Is worth q
thousand times more than you charge
for 1t. | know of a number of people
troubled the same way as Jessie has
been, and / certainly expect to- tell
them personally to try your medicine"
We would advise anyone who has
been troubled for some time with gen.

icine. We are agent for it in this city.

Naval Tests.

The United States Navy De-
partment has been making some
interesting tests in battleship
armament. A few days ago the
battleship Florida was anchored
at short distance from her
sister ship, the Arkansas, and
from her guns, the largest in use
by any of the vessels of the
navy, the heaviest projectiles
were fired point blank at her
turrets which withstood the
strain, even the delicately bal
anced instruments on the inside
being in perfect working order
in five minutes after sustaining
the full force Of the projectiles
from 9 two hundred pound
charge Of powder. The result
was q complete victory for those
faVoring the present construction
of the turrets of our fighting
ships.
The next Of the destructive
tests to be made on the monitor
Florida is fixed for June 10, as
stated at the navy department
to-day. On that date the Florida
will be brought from the Nor
folk navy yard to suitable spot
in Hampton Roads, where the
depth of water probably will not
exceed twenty or twenty-five
feet and there will be attacked
by an A m e Il C an whitehead
torpedo which will be directed
against a spot on the hull, about
6 or s feet below the water line,
inside Of which will be located a
special form of bulk head which
probably will be filled with
water.
The torpedo will carry burst
ing charge of 200 pounds of gun
cotton and is expected to sink
the FLORIDA at the first attempt.
The vessel will be easily raised
owing to the shallow depth Of
water.
