Young Fastener Says He Has
Had Cordial Reception From
Bay Cities People
Curse OF Century Overeating and
Lack of Exercise, Is His
Assertion

When L. T. Cooper, the young east
weeks ago, he started much discussion
in the bay cities by his odd theories
about the human stomach. Cooper
makes the claim that the stomachs of
Americans are degenerating as re-
suit of luxurious living, overeating and
lack of exercise. He says that 50 per
cent of the ills of humanity are caused
by stomach trouble and nothing else.
Cooper now claims that more than
25, 900 persons in San Francisco are
taking his remedy. When interviewed
yesterday at the Owl drug store in the
Phelan building he said:
Il made some very strong claims
when l first came here several weeks
ago. I said then that l would prove
to the many thousands of half sick,
droopy, weak and exhausted people in
this city that there was nothing
the matter with them but their
stomachs. And / said that those who
had been suffering for years from all
sorts of chronic troubles-dyspepsia
bad blood, biliousness. constipation,
dizziness. headache, catarrh and kidney
complaints-would find that when they
went to the seat of the ailment and
treated their stomachs would come to
me in scores to thank me for what my
medicine had done for them. Today
more than $4,000 persons are taking
my remedy in the bay cities.
THE great curse of the twentieth
century is overeating and lack of eX-
ercise. With the advent of prosperity
the American nation has gone from
the privations of our pioneer days to
the other extreme. Now the humblest
| in America live like the lords and
princes of Europe Men and women in
all walks of life are suffering more
from all sorts of chronic disorders than
ever before in the history of the
world. The American people stuff and
! stuff, never exercise as nature in
tends their bodies should, and entirely
disregard the fact that food should
only be used according to the demands
put upon the body. The clerk or
businessman who is indoors all day
thinks he should eat just as much as
the farmer or day laborer.
And it's just the same with women
nine -tenths of them in San Francisco,
just as in every other city in America,
are suffering from nervous prostration,
gas on the stomach, depression, bad
complexion kidney complaints and
what not. They don't know what it is
to have q good nights sleep, are tlred,
droopy and nervous all the time, and
can't get ambition to enjoy life no
matter what they do or what they
take. The whole trouble is that their
stomachs are out of order and they do
not know it. If they suffer intense
pains they treat for kidney complaint
or bladder trouble, when, If they went
to the root of the disease and treated
the stomach, they would be well in no
time.
my medicine is simply a stomach
remedy. 1t requires a course of treat
ment in every case to effect a cure,
varying of course, with the severity
of the case My remedy does nothing
but tone up the stomach, but that
means purifying the blood, relieving
conditions of constipation and con-
gested organs, and by building up the
| system generally relieving a host OF
minor complaints all resulting from
the one great central cause-stomach
disorder"
One of those who told Cooper OF what
his medicine had done for him last
week was II. Bailey of 1903 Dolores
street. San Francisco. Asked to make
a. short statement, he said:
| II had suffered from stomach trouble
| for three years. I had chronic con-
| stipation and all the Diseases that re-
/ suit from it. I tried everything 1 knew
of without relief until taking Cooper's
remedies, and now I feel like differ
| ent man. 1 have gained IS pounds in
weight and do not hesitate to ascribe
all credit to this young Cooper's treat
