Statement About Women OF
Today and OF the Past

Novel theories about modern social
conditions and. the cause for them were
advanced yesterday by the Cooper
stomach man. who is making his
headquarters at the Owl drug store in
the Phelan building Cooper is the
young man who has aroused such a
storm of comment in the bay cities by
his extraordinary ideas about disease
and its causes. He claims that 90 per
cent of all i'll health is caused by
stomach trouble and nothing, else and
has undoubtedly converted thousands
of people to his beliefs during the
time that he has been here Cooper
said yesterday
Modern social life is a tremendous
tax on the vitality of the nation The
woman of that splendid physique of our
pioneer days who was the mother of
the west is fast disappearing from our
recollection. The woman of today is an
anemtc, sickly, always tired and eX-
hausted type. She lacks in life, verve
and healthy ambition. The reason for
all this is very simple. The call of
social duty has imposed on the woman
of today responsibilities that take too
much of her time and sap her vitality.
Now, ii is a very common thing TO
point to the society woman as a
dreadful example of what our modern
times have. led us into, but this is not
what / mean at all.
II claim that the woman OF moderate
means-the wife OF the businessman,
artisan, clerk or working man--has just
as many social responsibilities of the
kind that tell on her health as the
pampered woman OF fashion. The fact
that she has homework and other do
nestle duties to perform tends to make
her life the harder.
Women come to me every day who
are suffering from all kinds of diseases,
they think, but in reality they don't
know what is the matter. They have
headaches, scores of them have nervous
prostration they suffer from gas on
the stomach, foul breath, constipation.
kidney and liver trouble, anemia and
hundreds of other complaints. In
nearly every case their stomachs are i'm
poverished as result of their mode
of life. They eat too much, too irregu-
larly and do not take healthful outdoor
exercise as nature demands. The di-
gestive organs are stuffed up, clogged
and can't work. The food lays heavy
on the stomach. sours. and-it's harsh
to say. but it's true-it literally rots.
Gases form and poison is pumped into
their blood. All kinds of diseases, of
course, are bound to follow.
My medicine is nothing but stom-
ach remedy, but it will tone up the
digestive organs. cause proper assimi-
lation of food and in nine cases out of
ten restore a run down. half sick,
anemic person to the full bloom of
health in four to eight weeks | am
ready to meet the people of this city
face to face and prove my theories to
them"
One of the most convincing OF the
many statements that have been made
in Cooper's behalf by San Francisco
people was given yesterday by NJ. }.
Homburg. who is pilot on the steamer
T. C. Walker. we'll known in San Fran
cisco bay. Mr. Homburg said:
Il have been suffering from stomach
trouble for the last three years. had
catarrh of the stomach and all the
terrible troubles that result from that
dread disease. I had gas on the stom-
ach belching, diarrhoea, headaches
and dizziness Life was burden to
me. / tried everything without result
until taking Cooper's New Discovery
treatment, and now / am Wen
