Cooper's claim that the human stom.
ach is degenerate is distinctly verified.
One of the most unusual statements
was made by Mr. G. w. Woods, of 1903
South Highland Street. He said: For
four years my wife was in very poor
health. She was weak and thin. with
a hectic flush and cough. Physicians
said she had consumption, and | was
inclined to believe them. 1t certainly
looked as though her days were num-
bered, and there appeared to be very
little ground for hope.
Shortly after Mr.. Cooper came to
Pittsburg | began to hear of wonderful
results that had been obtained by per-
sons who had tried his medicine. SO I
got some for my wife. She had taken
1t only two days when she was relieved
OF tapeworm AZ feet long. She be.
gan to improve immediately-has gain
ed seven pounds since she began TAX
ing the medicine. She feels splendid
and looks very much better. If any
one doubts this statement would be
pleased to have them call at my house
and verify 1t.
The Cooper remedies are be.
coming justly famous. We sell them.

SUCCESS IN P|7TsBURG
Received Thanks from Hundreds While i'm

The following article, taken from
the Pittsburg Press, describes the re-
suits of l.. T. Cooper's visit to that
city, and the effect of his new prepare
ton as told by people who had become
convinced of the soundness Of Cooper's
theories with regard to the human
stomach.
Cooper believes that the human
stomach in civilized races has become
greatly weakened. He claims that most
I'll health of the present generation is
due to this fact. The article is as fol.
lows:
Il. T. Cooper is meeting with the
same astonishing success in Pittsburg
as in other cities. For the past few
days many thousands of Pittsburg peo-
pie have called at his headquarters to
talk with him.
"Cooper's prophecy, made upon his
arrival, to che effect that before he left
Pittsburg thousands would realize that
mis- theory Is correct and would come
and thenk him for what his medicine
had done, is rapidly being borne out.
On Monday an astonishing number
OF people called to express their graft
tude to Mr.. Cooper. Judging from
what some of these people had to say

GIRL WAS OTHERWISE ENGAGED.
Father Right In Thinking He Knew
Cause Of Her Preoccupatlon.

| For some time the father Of the fam.
lily had suspected that his girl and the
young man of whom he disapproved
on account Of his poetic tendencies
had been riding downtown together
and uptown together every day in the
elevated train, says the New York
Press. He hit upon a diabolic plan
for verifying his suspicious.
Wonderful progress they are maxi
ing on the Pennsylvania station he
said.
The girl looked UP dreamily. Are
they?" she murmured.
why, yes" said the father.
Haven't you noticed it?"
The girl said she hadn't.
And there is that big building at
the corner Of Thirty -something-or-other
street. he went on, that is going up
just like magic. 1t seems hardly no
time since 1t was only hole in the
ground; now 1t is is stories high, and
they're ready to put the windows in.
But maybe you haven't noticed that
either?'
NO. said the girl, softly, 81
haven't"
To test her still further the father
enumerated dozen other improve
ments along the line that were bound
to strike any observant eye. The girl
had been blind to them all. The
father went upstairs to the girls

IT'S a hopeless case" he groaned.
She's dead in love-
He told the mother how he knew.

added, and II she didn't keep her eyes

Maybe she was reading" ventured
the mother.
Reading" snorted the father
Yes, from the most popular book on
earth. Call it reading if you like.
wouldn't be surprised to hear of their
engagement tomorrow"
1t was well that he was fortified
against all such surprises, for that
was that he really did hear the very
next day. He had meant to storm and
stew, still, as there was nothing
against the young man except the
poetry, and as the girls heart was set
on him-well, what could a father do?

wanted 10 have some action taken on

The mayor sent IN several commun
ications First was that of opening

authorized by both boards. several
weeks ago TO go ahead and get the
right Of way for the opening of the

mayor was Informed by Hon Charles

which the city will have to purchast
In order to open the street. that hi:
price on the lots was $500, and thai
other property would have to be
purchased and the cost would be q
little over $4,000.
On account of the shortage Of
funds the mayor thought that III,

a good investment and that the prop
erty owners benefited would soon pay
for the Improvement by taxation
