STRONG STATEMENT
Says That Theory That Ameri-
can Stomach is Degenerating
Is Undoubtedly Correct
Was an Invalid for Years, But
Suddenly Regained
His Health

Carleton H. Hutchinson, leading
fees at No. s Congress street, in that
city, has been spending some time in
San Francisco. He comes out with
very strong statement concerning L T.
Cooper, the young man whose medicine
and theories aroused such widespread
comment in the east recently, and who
is now in San Francisco, meeting the
public at the Phelan building store of
the Owl Drug company
Mr.. 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 I fully
agree with him when he says the
stomaehs of American people are be-
coming weak. Any one afflicted with
chronic i'll health and a general run
down condition caused by stomach
trouble. who lets this man Cooper leave
without trying his medicine is very

remarkable experience with this medi-
cine. l had heard of Cooper's success
in Chicago before he came to Boston

physician for each particular ease after
a careful diagnosis, but after eight
years of constant suffering. during
which time l spent over $2,500, with
absolutely no relief, I felt il would at
least do no harm to try this medicine.
During these eight years I have had
chronic stomach trnt1hla n q "

without solid food for five and six
weeks at time. I always had a
sour stomach. was troubled with for
nations of gas and led the usual mis-
erable life of the dyspeptic. I was dull,
tired. nervous and gloomy all the time,
and have been always constipated.
Il have taken Cooper's medicine and
for the last nine months l have not
had the slightest signs of stomach
trouble. Can eat anything with no bad
effect whatsoever. 1 have fine appe-
tite and have gained flesh very rap
idly. / am cheerful. full of energy and
my nervousness has disappeared. My
health is in perfect condition for the
first time in eight years
Il don't hesitate to say that 1 would
not take $4,000 and be back where
was last year. 1 shall go out of my
way to tell any one these facts. My
relief and thankfulness are beyond de-
seription."
When seen at the Owl Drug store,
Cooper said Il think l remember Mr.
He was one Of the most
skepticaI men who called on me during
my visit to Boston. He told me ii
would be worth $4,000 to me if the
medicine helped him. 1 am very glad
to know that he is so enthusiastic.
II shall continue to meet San Fran
cisco people from 10 o'clock until s
each day at this store, and explain the
