1t has long been known that red-hot
stoves were not always safe If left
without guardian when providers
were around, but the burglar in Los
Angeles who picked up a boa constric-
tor and departed with It for parts i'm
known made the stove litter look like
an amateur pilferer. Well may the
housed holder ask, what is safe If he
cant 60 to bed and leave his favorite
boa constructor basking in front of the
hearth, says the Chicago Daily News.
II the poor boa must be locked in the
safe along with the family diamonds
and bargain mining stock, its rest will
be broken and it will suffer all the dis
eases We get from not having enough
fresh air. Still, that might be prefer
able to waking up and finding 1t In a
strange household, where the cooking
did not agree with it. The only way
out that We can see is for the boa to

YOUNG WOMAN HAS
ODD EXPERIENCE
Unknowing Victim Of Internal
Parasite for Years Is
Her Discovery.
A REPULSvE CREATURE
Dozens Bring Eastern Expert Tape
worms That Has Slapped
Vitality.

A grucsome statement was made re-
Gently by the Cooper stomach man.
which has been arousing widespread
comment In Salt Lake, and now seems
to be borne out by facts.
At that time the stomach man said
that he believed internal parasites or
tapeworfns 20 be responsible for great
deal iof 50 health He further said that
during his ,tisit thousands OF persons
taking his remedies would be relieved
OF one Of the tape worms aud that
many OF the creatures would be brought
30 him by people who had this expert
cnce
These claims he seems to be making
good in Seattle. During the last two
days surprising number OF persons
have been bringing these parasites to
Smith Busy Corner drug store at
Main and Second South streets. where
the stomach man" is making his head
quarters. one young woman brought
a parasite that proved to be over thirty
feet in length ana required a large
glass bottle to contain IL. The thing
was still alive and was moving percep-
tlbly.
In speaking Of her experience this
young woman said. Under no circum-
stances win allow my name published
ia connection with this matter / will
say, however. that ] have been IN about
three years with what I thought was
stomach and liver trouble. ] have TAX
en- a great deal OF medicine. but nothing
helped me. / had a gnawlng faint
sensation at the pit OF the stomach, was
very nervous ana was always feeling as
thought something dreadful was about
TO happen TO me. My. appetite was ir--
regular and I did not sleep well
bloated after eating and tired very
easily. | did not seem TO have much
ambition and felt dun and languid
most OF the time.
II came here and bought some of the
cooper medicine last week This morn
ing about o'clock this fear
ful thing left my system. 7
don't wonder I have been sick all the
time"
The stomach man." who is now re-
ceiNing an immense number OF callers
each day, in speaking OF these para
sites said 1t is the same way every
where ! go. I sell my medicine on trial
Tor stomach trouble and within few
DAYS people begin to bring these para
sites TO me. As ] said before. thew are
responsible for an endless amount OF
suffering. a man or woman may have
one OF the thing for years and never
realize what is the cause of their in
health.
MY theory is that very few can be
SICK with good, sound stomach Ny
medicine does nothing but put the
stomach In normal. healthy condition.
II is not cure-an. but purely a stom-
ach regulator Yet IL is my bellef-and
il has met with great deal of success
that constipation. kidney and liver
troubles, bad blood. headaches. dizzi-
ness nervous prostration and hosts OF
other dieases will diappear when the
stomach is restored to a healthy nor
mai condition. The blood is the basis OF
all health and unless the stomach is
manufacturing virile, rich blood the
entire system is bound TO be thrown
more or less out Of gear"
