GREASE AND CANDY
RUIN THE STOMACH
Cooper Warns That Race Well
fare Is Endangered by
Bad Diet
Hits at Men. and Women in At
tack on Modern Methods
of Living

"Men eat too much grease in their
things for the race to be healthy
one. Such a diet becomes n habit and
an abnormal craving is created. Taken
with irregular hours of sIeeping-tOo
little sleep one day and too much the
next-the stomach gets out of order
and the entire nervous system is shat
tered. We see this on every hand every
day. 1t is the growing menace to the
physical prosperity of the nation.'
The young Cooper stomach man"
attacked the diet of San Francisco
people yesterday in an interview, de-
claring that the well being of the race
was in danger from careless habits
of living. Cooper is the easterner
who has created veritable furore of
comment in the bay cities by his
theories that 95 per cent of all i'll
health is caused by stomach trouble
and nothing else. Judging from the
number of people who have announced
themselves converts to his beliefs he
has had remarkable success here. He
has been demonstrating several medi-
cal preparations of his own manufac-
ture al the Owl drug store in the Phe-
Ian building, and claims that more
than 10 ,00O people in San Francisco are
using his remedies.
Continuing his interview. the "stom-
ach man" said:
II can not make it too strong when
I say that the American race is in
danger from our diet The stomach
of our people is degenerating from over
eating, lack of exercise and neglect
of health laws. We stuff our bodies
with all kinds of food, men too much
grease and women too much candy and
sweetmeats, as / said. This is fatal
to the welfare of the individual, but
even more so to the whole community
because of its wide prevalence.
Thousands of people in San Fran
cisco are half sick all of the time and
don't know the reason why. It's as
simple as A B c.. A stomach out of
order skaters the nervous system and
results in headaches, dizziness, faint
ing fits paIpitation of the heart and
nervous prostration. A stomach out
of order hinders the kidneys from do
ing their work properly and causes
kidney trouble. A stomach out of
order discrepancies the delicate and inn
portant machinery of the liver and
causes narrowing liver trouble. A
stomach out of order prevents food
from digesting properly and causes it
to ferment and form gas, and the
poison resulting is pumped into the
blood. That is the reason for all this
i'll health in San Francisco-this
droopy, dopey, tired feeling that every
body seems to have.
The treatment is simple Tone up
the stomach. Put it in normal working
order and all the trouble disappears.
This is what my medicine does 1t
acts as gentle tonic for the stomach
and puts 1t in order. In the IA weeks
have been in San Francisco I have
had thousands sof people come to me
suffering from whattheN Thought were
all kinds of diseases. In some cases,
of course, they were suffering from
serious ailments, and when 1 found this
was so [ would tell them frankly.
But l am safe in saying that in 95
cases out of 100 there was nothing
the matter but stomach trouble. Sew
enty-five thousand people in San Fran
Hundreds who have been cured have
and they have been published. This.
I think, is much stronger than any
thing l could say myself
Among Cooper's callers Saturday was
c. A. Huffman of 873 Dolores street.
He said:
Il was sufferer from eatarrh of
the stomach for more than a year. |
suffered great agony and tried many
remedies without relief until taking
Cooper's treatment. His remedy made
me feel like new man and I am glad
to thank him for it, as 1 have done
today"
