ceaied Wealth Is Held by Those

army of heirs that all of the miser's
wealth has not Yet been found, as he
was comfortably fixed, even half a
century ago, and has had no occasion
to since spend his riches.
Attorney S. S. Finley has been given

NEW THEORY SPREADS
RAPIDLY OVER COUNTRY
Colorado Woman Gives Reasons for
Her Abiding Faith in Cooper

L. T. Cooper's theory concerning the
human stomach, which has been wide
ly discussed in Los Angeles and vicin-
ity since his visit to this city, is being
given more respect and comment every
day.
Cooper claims that a large majority
of i'll health is due to stomach trouble.
When interviewed about his theory he
said: stomach trouble is the great
curse of the goth century so far as the
tically all of the chronic i'll health of
this generation is caused by abnormal
stcnachic conditions. In earlier days,
when the human race was closer to
nature and men and women worked all
day out of doors, digging their frugal
existence from the soil, the tired,
droopy, half-sick people that are now
so common did not exist
"To be sure. there was sickness in
those days, but it was of virulent
character and only temporary. There
was none of this half-sick condition
all the time with which so many are
afflicted nowadays
ST know positively that every bit of
this chronic i'll health is caused by
stomach trouble. The human stomach
in civilized people today is degenerate.
It lacks tone and strength. This weak
ness has gradually come through a
sedentary existence. / further know
that few people can be sick with the
digestive apparatus in perfect shape.
The sole reason for my success is be-
cause my New Discovery medicine
tones the stomach UP to required
