QUEER DISEASE IS
IN SALT LAKE CITY
Internal Parasites Are Cause OF
Much III Health, Says
fastener.
ARE GRUESOME CREATURES
PREY UPON HUMAN RACE TO Ex-
TENT LITTLE KNOWN.

The following remarkable statement
was made by the Cooper stomach
man" Sunday afternoon. This is the
man whose medicines and theories have
aroused such widespread comment in
the east, and who is now in Salt Lake
City introducing his medicines. He
said:
During the past few days many peo-
pie who are now taking the prepara-
ton l have come to Salt Lake City TO
introduce have brought to me internal
parasites, commonly called tapeworms,
that have recently passed from the sys-
tenn. Many of these people have been
alarmed and came to ask for an expla-
nation. Some of these people did not
even know the nature of the parasite
they brought to me, and in consequence
were extremely nervous and excited
over the matter.
Il take this opportunity of explaining
what these creatures are and what l
have learned about them in the past.
'Tapeworms,' as they are called, are
much more common than would be sup
posed. 1 venture to say that 10 per
cent of the so-called chronic stomach
trouble, and what is known as the run
down condition, is caused by these
creatures. In every city l visit hun
dreds upon hundreds of them arc
pie who have taken my preparation,
and doubtless there are innumerable
cases of which 1 hear nothing. An in
| dividual may suffer for years with one
of these great parasites and not be
aware of it. Contrary to general belief,
the appetite is not greatly increased. 1t
| only becomes irregular. Sometimes an
extreme sense of hunger is experienced,
at other the mere sight of food will
nauseate. There is generally a feeling
| of faintness, however, and a gnawing
sensation in the pit of the stomach.
! People afflicted with one of these para
sites are generally nervous and easily
depressed. The chief sensation is one of
languor, the least exertion will tire and
there is, as a rule, a dull pain in the
lower part of the back The individual
| imagines that he or she is suffering
from many diseases. The parasite is
| never in itself fatal, but it consumes a
great part of the sustenance from al
food eaten, and in consequence there S
not enough nourishment left to sustain
the body. The system loses vitality and
every organ becomes more or less af-
fected.
Lack of energy and ambition not
only affects the body, but the MIND
also becomes dull and sluggish. The
memory is not so good and the eyesight
becomes somewhat poorer.
"As I have already stated, I believe
these parasites are very prevalent.
shall prove this conclusively before
leave Salt Lake City with my prepare
ton. My medicine, in cleasing th'
stomach of impurities, seems to be IA
tai to these great worms and drives
! them from the system with ASTONISHING
rapidity. I shall be at Smiths Bus!

one in Salt Lake City who has had tn
experience just related with my prepa

in the matter, and that it will, as
