the problem how to obtain and retain

Mr.. Cooper claims that with few eX-

healthy stomach need be sick; on the
other hand, he says, no one can expect
to enjoy good health with stomach
that is weak and degenerated. The
stomach is the most important organ
in the human system and is response

abuse.
Mr.. Cooper's further claim that his

timony of thousands who have recoV-
