THE SURVIVAL
Of THE HTTESI

Much has been said and written
about the strenuous life. and not a
little about the simple life. 1t Is,
however. an undIsputed fact that the
American people, as a whole, have
drifted away from the simple mode
| of living and travel the pace that
kills.
1t has remained for young Ohio
man. Mr.. L. T. Cooper, to call at
tentton to this evil. ana the wisdom
of his logic has met with popular en-
dorsement throughout the country.
Mr.. Cooper has advanced the theory
that the stomach is responsible for
the majority of illness common to
American people. He claims that
the stomach governs the entire body.
and that when the stomach fails to
perform its functions properly, the
system is weakened and run down
and unable to resist disease. To for
| tify yourself against disease and en-
joy good health. you must look to
your stomach first, last, and all the
time.
Reasoning from cause to effect, Mr..
Cooper has provided a remedy. He
claims that 1t is not only necessary.
to restore the stomach to n normal
condition in order to enjoy good
health. and with this end in view he
has placed within the reach of every
sufferer his new preparation. called
Cooper's New Discovery. which is the
best stomach tonic and blood purifier
on the market. Prepared with great
care from selected herbs, roots, banks
and berries, known for their efficacy
in all stomach ailments, 1t has very
big demand wherever It's merits have
become known.
Cooper's New Discovery is entitled
to a place In every household, To
enumerate the ailments 1t relieves
would involve making up n list of
two-thIrds of all the diseases of
mankind.
Cooper's New Discovery is on sale
at all drug stores throughout the
country.-Adv.
