PECULIAR PROPERTIES
OF NEW MEDICINE
Cooper Preparation Attracts Widespread At
tentlOn by Expelling Internal
Parasites.

Tho interest created In leading cities
during the past year by young Dir.
Cooper with his new preparation, is
largely accounted for by a peculiar
quality possessed by this medicine,
which he calls his New Discovery.
Mr.. Cooper believes that internal
parasites, or tapeworms, are respon-
aible for much i'll health, and 1t is an
undoubted fact that his medicine has
expelled immense numbers Of these
creatures in various cities visited by
him. The young man also belieY s
that stomach trouble is the main cause
of all i'll health. lie olairs that few
can have poor health with a good d.
gestion. He further claims thai bis
New Discovery medicine does nothing
but tone UP the stomach, yet IL not
only expels the parasites, bu relieves
many other ailments not as rule as
ISOLATED with stomach trouble.
Little Jessie Birdsall, daughter of
Mrs. Ida Birdsall, living at 2138 Car
roll Avenue, Chicago, is among many
relieved OF a large parasite by Mr.
Coopers preparation during his 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 poTpjng We did not know what
