DO GERMS CAUSE
RHEUMATIC PANGS?
Easterner Says Bacilli Are

Disease
San Franciscan Helps Bear Out
New Theory by His
Statement

Among statements made recently by
San Francisco residents concerning the
much discussed preparation now being
introduced in this city by L. 7. Cooper,
is the following from Sidney NJ. Clark,
living at 72S Andover avenue.
Mr.. Clark has been a sufferer from
rheumatism and had occasion to try
the Cooper treatment recently. He
said: Some time ago l read several
articles about this man Cooper and in
one of these articles he claimed stom-
ach trouble was responsible for most
i'll health. He went on to say that his
medicine, though only stomach rem
edy, had proved effective for many
other diseases. He argued from this
that the stomach was the main cause
of sickness and stated that the sue
cess he was having in San Francisco
was largely due to this fact.
L am now fully convinced this the
ory is correct and believe Cooper has a
remarkable preparation, judging from
my experience.
AT the time L speak of I had been
afflicted with stomach trouble and
rheumatism for four years despite the
services of several physicians I had
not improved in the slightest and made
up my mind to try Cooper's 'prepara-
tion. | was much improved week
after starting in on it and week or
so later was entirely well.
Il am not fond OF publicity but am
willing to tell San Francisco people
what this mans medicine did for me. -
While speaking of rheumatism
Sunday afternoon Cooper said: For a
long time 1 accepted the we'll worn
statement that rheumatism is caused
by acid in the blood. OF late years
have begun to doubt this. 1 am in
clined to think that a germ is respon-
sible for most cases Of rheumatism. I
will admit that if the blood is pure and
rich this germ can not exist, but i
have lost all faith in this acid theory.
MY medicine, as l have stated be-
fore, does absolutely nothing but regu-
late the stomach and bowels, yet a
great many people can now testify that
it has removed all traces of their
rheumatism. I believe the stomach
regulates the condition of the blood If
the stomach is in good condition the
blood becomes pure and wholesome and
rheumatism disappears, because the
germs that cause it are destroyed by
the red corpuscles of the blood. This
is. of course, only theory of mine.
| do not say that 1t is absolutely cor
rect but / feel confident it is nearer
the truth than the acidity idea. l shall
continue to meet the public at the Owl
Drug Company's store, In the Phelan
building, as long as / remain in San
Francisco.

OXFORD WINS A GREAT
s. RACE ON THAMES

The sixty-sixth Oxford Cambridge
eight-oared rowing race was won, on
the Thames April 3 by Oxford by
three and half lengths after tus-
sic which for three-quarters or the
course was one OF the most stirring
contests seen on the Thames for
many years. ''.
The time was nineteen minutes
and fifty seconds. But had the oxo-
mans been pressed at the finish they
could have reduced this by good
many seconds. As far as Barnes

Soon he was quarter length to the
good. Bourne. however, was not to
be outdone. The Oxonians answered
squirt with squirt, and It soon became
evident the race OF 1909 would be
memorable. =
Aware that his chances of victory
rested In securing commanding
lead early In the race, Stuart held
to swift stroke. He was well back
ed up by his crew, who pulled IN
splendid rhythm and pushed farther
and farther ahead. until the cox
swain OF the Cambridge boat was on
a level with the Oxford boat. Then
the oxford crew came on again and
closed up rapidly until, passing the
half-mlle post, the two boats were
