Recent Grewsome Experience of Chicago Man is
Sample of Series of Such Cases.

During l.. r. Cooper's recent visit to
Chicago. where his new preparation
and theory created the usual sensation
many hundreds of people brought
enormous internal parasites to the
young man, which had left the system
after taking his medicine.
Among these people was Mr.. Emil
Winkler. who brought to Cooper a
tapeworm that proved to be over 80
feet in length. Mr.. Winkler, who re-
sides at 1872 East Ohio street, Chicago
had this to say of his experience:
For five years l have been more or
less complaining. l have had severe
headaches and any food that | would
eat would nauseate me. | would have
bad dreams almost every night; dizzy
spells would compel me to quit work.
Black spots would appear before my
eyes when STOPPING over and rising
quickly. | would feel tired most of the
time; in fact. | had no life i'll me to
speak of for the last five years.
