FROM OUT OF TOWN

Remedy Did Him and
His Friends
Stomach Man. Says Big Sue
cess Here Causes Longer
Visit

The storm of discussion that has
been aroused in San Francisco by the
success of the young Cooper "stom-
ach man" has penetrated into nearby
cities. Coopers mail has become an
important factor of his visit here. re-
curing great amount of his personal
attention. The young stomach man.
said yesterday:
1T is surprising the number of peo-
pie from out of town who have written
to me about my medicine. 1t is some
times pathetic, too, the way they ex-
peet me to cure all kinds of serious
complaints. My medicine is most dis
a stomach medicine and a general tonic
for the entire system. But L believe
that 95 per cent of all chronic i'll
health is caused by stomach trouble
and / know that my treatment is the
best remedy for toning the digestive
organs and building up the health. If
my medicine will not do a person good
1 will be one of the first to tell them
so. Here is a letter that was received
by me in care of the Owl drug COM
pany yesterday
The letter was from Fred f. Daunt
graduate optometrist and jeweler of
MERGED, Cal He said:
Il wish to say that you have my
permission to use my name in connec-
ton with the success of Coopers treat
ment 1 can not speak too highly of it.
The medicine certainly fixed my stom-
ach up in fine shape after 1 had taken
it only two weeks. I persuaded a
number of my friends to procure the
treatment by mail and I must say that
every one of them has been greatly
benefited. Now there are nearly a
dozen here that I know who are doing
like L am-'boosting it along"
The Stomach man" said: Il have
been forced to extend my visit here
more than three months on account Of
the increasing number of people who
wish to talk to me about my medicine.
I wish to say now that 1 shall remain
nearly six weeks longer at the Owl
drug store in the Phelan building and
either myself or my assistants will be
on hand every weekday from 9 o'clock
in the morning until at night. On
Saturdays I stay until 9 o'clock at
night
