STRONG STATEMENT
BY BOSTON BANKER
is NOW CONVERT TO COOPER
THEORY AND MEDICINE
Says He Believes Young fastener Is
Right When He Says Ameri-
can Stomach Is De-
generate

Carleton H. Hutchinson. a leading
banker and broker of Boston, with Of
fees at No, Congress street, in that
city, has been spending some time in
Los Angeles. He COMES out with al
very strong statement concerning Il"
I. Cooper, the young man whose medl-
cine and theories aroused such vide
spread comment in the east recently,
and who is now in Los Angeles, meet
ing the public at the 625 South Broad
way store of the Owl Drug company
MIR. Hutchinson has taken the side
of those who say that Coopers theory
is correct and his medicine all he
claims. His emphatic statement is as
follows: There is no question in my
mind that Cooper's theory is correct.
He proved it conclusively in Boston,
and | fully agree with him when he
says the stomachs of American people
are becoming weak. Any one afflicted
with chronic ill-health and "a general
rum down condition caused by stomach
trouble. who let's this man Cooper leave
without trying his medicine is very
foolish. l say this after having most
remarkable experience with this medi-
cine. l had heard of Cooper's success
in Chicago before he came to Boston,
and therefore went to see him shortly
after his arrival. | have had no failh
in anything not prescribed by phy-
stefan for each particular case after
careful diagnosis. but after eight years
of constant suffering, during which
time [ spent over $2500, with absolutely
no relief, felt it would at least do no
harm to try this medicine.
During these eight years l have had
chronic stomach trouble to such an eX-
tent that / have been forced to go
without solid food for five and six
weeks at a time. l always had sour
stomach, was troubled with formations
of gas and led the usual miserable life
of the dyspeptic. | was dull tired,
nervous and gloomy all the time and
have been always constipated.
81 have taken Cooper's medicine and
for the past nine months 1 have not
had the slightest signs of stomach
trouble. can eat anything with no
bad effect whatsoever. / have fine
appetite and have gained flesh very
rapidly. l am cheerful, full of energy
and my nervousness has disappeared.
My health is in perfect condition for
the first time in eight years.
IT don't hesitate to say that l would
not take $4,000 and be back where
was last year. l shall go out of my
way to tell anyone these facts. My re-
lief and thankfulness are beyond de-
scription."
When seen at the Owl drug store
Cooper said: "I think remember Mr..
Hutchinson. He was one of the most
skeptical men who called on me during
my visit to Boston. He told me 1t
would be worth $4,000 to me If the
medicine helped him. 1 am very glad
TO know that he is so enthusiastic.
81 shall continue to meet Los Angeles
people from 10 o'clock until each day
at this store and explain the nature of
my medicine"

tell by their odor the age and brand of
