LAST TWO MONTHS ENJOYED
LIVING FOR FIRST Time

The following statement was made
by Mr.. S. j. Simpson on Thursday af-
ternoon in connection with the Cooper
Preparations, which have created SEN
sat!on throughout the West and now
being widely discussed in New York.
Mr.. Simpson, who lives at No. 973
President street, Brooklyn, said: ~.
according to my experience, this
nan Cooper is justified in his claims
that his medicine will actually put the
stomach in good condition. I have had
chronic stomach trouble for several
years past. My stomach seemed to
give out completely in August, 1907, and
/ have been able to eat next to nothing
since. ~
Il have not taken the slightest en-
ioyment in living, l have been SO de-
pressed by my condition. Neither phys
icians ncr medicine helped me, and it
was only by the most careful diet that
I was able to retain any food whatever
For the past seven months I have not
eaten a particle of meat. In the most
skeptical frame of mind possible 1

months ago, while he was in Brooklyn.

or Remedies, Mandrake Root and

some of these remedies act beneficially
upon the other organs, but their pres
ence in Sagwa is primarily due to their
efficiency in treating the organs as
designated above.
Kickapoo Sagwa possesses the roots,

treatment of stomach and liver trou-
bles, Take It as directed upon the bot
tie and keep. viking it long enough to
exert a1s greatest benefit, even though
'Eot;f. ,scase may BE stubborn and

have tried ohter =. remedies and re-
ceived little or no benefit, do not let
that deter you from giving Kickapoo
Saewa a sufficient trial. Don't be dis
couraged if kickapoo Sagwa does not

time to regain health once lost.

that the success this man is having in
New York is richly deserved"
In a short interview Mr.. Cooper said
Il have been in New York a little less
IMAM two months. So far as l can
Judge there are now about fifty thous-
and people taking my preparations. Be
fore leave there will be not less than
one hundred thousand, as the number
IS increasing very rapidly and< people
are just beginning to learn what my
preparation does. I expect to fully
prove before 1 leave New York the
claim l made when I arrived, namely
that stomach trouble is the great curse
of the 10th century among highly civil
lied races and that it is responsible for
ninety per cent. Of all ill-health.
my medicine does nothing but regu-
late the stomach, yet I have people
come to me daily and tell me that it
has relieved them Of many and vari-
Gus ailments not generally recognized
as due to stomach trouble.
lit is easy enough to verify this
statement. An hour spent in listening
to what people who call to see me are
saying, who obtained my medicine
some time ago, will prove what 1 say

DEATH PENALTY.
-Four Murderers Goto Gull
Iotine In France.
Eighteen More Must Atone for
Grimes with Their Lives.
First ~InfIietion Of Capital Punish
ment In Years.

Bothune, Pas De Calais, France, Jan.
1.-THE first infections of capital pun
ishment in France for a number of
years past were witnessed in this town
today when four murderers were de-
capitated by the Guillotine. The eXecu-
tions took place in the presence of a
large crowd. The four men formed a
band which had terrorized northern
France and southern Belgium for sew
eral gears, robbing, assaulting and
numbering at will. The murderers were
Abel Pellet, his brother and two. either
men, named respectively Caunt and
Perou. The specific acts for which the
men We're executed were the murder
of four men.
The condemned We're ignorant up to
a short time before their execution that
they We're to die. They had slept in the
serene conviction that their sentences
would be committed.
AS the condemned men were led out
of prison cries of vengeance arose from
the crowd and as the knife fell four
times in rapid succession. the specta
tors showed their satisfaction. The
French Parliament recently passed Il
resolution in favor of the retention of
the death penalty in France. The law
permitting the inflction of capital
punishment had been practically dead
letter, for it has been the custom of
the President of the republic to com
mute all death sentences to life i'm
prisonment There remain today IS per-
sons in France under sentence Of
death and the guillotine will be used
for these executions.
The executions We're carried out
quickly. yet the multitude from the
town and the surrounding country was
impatient for instant death. The effect
upon the crowds was the most horrible
feature of she executions. AS Abel Pol
let marched defiantly towards the
platform cries Of rage broke from the
crowd, which endcavored to. break
through the lines of soldiers formed
around the guillotine. Old Poliet bru-
tally rcpulsed a priest who sought to
console him. Shouts OF joy burst from
the crowd as the knife dropped. The
troops then dispersed the crowd and
ended what was regarded by foreign
observers as degrading spectacle and
suggesting terrible scenes of mobs
athirst for blood during the French
revolution.
The night was passed by the crowd
in drinking and carousing in the cafes
of Bethune Rain fell steadily and
morning broke gloomy. With daylight
the people swarnted from the cafes and
headed for the square in front Of the
prison. They were hooting, singing and
laughing and exchanging coarse witt
cisrns at the expense Of the men who
were to be executed. The clamor
against the mnrderers was renewed
as dawn showed the scaffold dlmly
lighted with lanterns.
