The Cooper stomach man was en-
phatic yesterday in his discussion Of

it. He was meeting callers all day at
the Owl drug store in the Phelan build

the evening. He continued:
Most people would treat a dog bet

They cram all kinds of food into it
with no regard for what it should have
and then they wonder why they do not
feel the bounding glow of perfect
health.
There is no reason why a man
should not eat almost anything he
wants IL he only uses his brains But
he can eat hardly anything and stay
healthy unless he does. The stomach
it's food regularly. Give 1t about the
regularly and exercise.
The trouble with thousands Of peO-
pie in San Francisco today is that they
can not follow this advice with ad-
vantage now because they have ruined
their stomach by their careless habits
of life. They should call a halt and
