Remarkable Recovery Of Elderly Woman From

by Patrolman George A Lehnhoff
Sixty first precinct, New York, is made
in connection with the much-discussed
medicines now being introduced by l..
T. Cooper in New York.
Patrolman Lehnhoff, when seen at
headquarters, said: my mother. living
at 9S6 Union Avenue, Bronx, N. Y,
who is seventy-one years of age, has
had catarrh of the stomach for ten
years. The gas in her stomach pressed
on her heart to such an extent that
physicians told her she had heart

Her condition became so bad that
she was taken to the polytechnicai
clinic on Thirty fourth street and was
examined by a board of physicians.

medicine. It is a marvel to me as 1
was sure her case was hopeless"
In speaking of Patroiman Lehnhoff's
statement, Cooper said: IT'S quite
possible that Mrs. Lehnhoff had syrnp-
toms Of cancer, and this undoubtedly
caused an incorrect diagnosis, for feel
very confident that neither my medi-
cine nor any medicines on earth would
prove effective In a genuine case of
cancer of the stomach.
II often have people tell me that they
have been suffering with various or
ganic diseases and that my medicine
has restored them to health. do not
argue the point with them, but-Coop-
er's New Discovery only regulates the
digestive organs and could have had no
effect on such diseases. I therefore
know that they have mistaken a bad
case of stomach trouble and general
rundown condition for the diseases
they describe.

PeriIs Which Await HOmeseekers on
Arid Lands.

Chicago. Dec. 22.-In a discussion
of recent investigation into the
agricultural resources of the country,
William E. Curtis. under a Washing
ton date in the Record-Hera1d has
this to say:
''These Investigations have disclosed
some facts which should be made
known to the public, and will doubt
less appear in official form with off
cial sanction. very soon. For example,
it is thought necessary to warn land
hungry people who are taking up
homesteads and buying small farms in
the semi-arid regions of western Kan
sas. eastern Colorado, Wyoming. Utah
and other states that dry farming
is a very critical proposition. 1t is
also considered important that home
seekers should know that many mill
lion acres of our arid land can never
be irrigated under any circumstances
because of lack of water, and that
the prevention of waste of water is
one of the most important duties of
the American people.
"One of the ablest' agricultural ex-
perts in this country, who has recently
made an investigation of the con-
ditions in the dry farming section on
the slopes of the Rocky mountains,
says:

O'Clock In the Scott Book store, on
Seventeenth street. when two young
men beat Harry Scott, the proprietor,
over the head with heavy steel crow
bar and shot-filled black jack Des-
pite the violence of the attack, Scott
fought back, and called for help. This
doubtless saved his life, as his as.

down Seventeenth street toward the
Union depot. Scott was hurried to
St Luke's hospital. His wounds are
not considered fatal. though 1t was at
first thought that his skull had been
fractured by the blows from the crow

the bandits this morning.
