QUEER DISEASE IN OMAHA
Internal Parasites Cause Of Much Ill
Health, Says Fastener.
MANY VICTIMS PANIC STRICKEN
No cause for Alarm, HOwever--Grue-
some Creatures Prey ON Human
race 10 Extent Little Known
by General Public.

The following remarkable statement was
made by the Cooper stomach man sun
day afternoon. This is the man whose
medicines and theories have aroused such
widespread interest in the east and who
Is now In Omaha introducing his medicines.
He said
During the last few days many people
who are now taking the preparation have
come to Omaha to introduce have brought
to me internal parasites commonly called
tape worms that have passed from the sys-
tenn. Many Of these people have been
alarmed and came to ask for an explana-
tion 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 Tape
worms as they are called. are much more
common than would be supposed. I ven
ture 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
visit hundreds upon hundreds Of them
are brought to me during my stay by
people who have taken my preparation,
and doubtless there are innumerable cases
of which / hear nothing. An individual
may suffer for years with one Of these
great parasites and not be aware OF 1t.
Contrary to general belief the appetite Is
not greatly increased; Il only becomes ir-
regular. Sometimes an extra sense OF hun
ger is experienced. at others the mere eight
of food will nauseate. There is generally q
feeling OF faintness. however, and a gnaw-
ing sensation in the pit of the stomach.
People afflicted with one OF these para
sites are generally nervous and easily de-
pressed 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 II consumes a great part of the
sustenance from all food eaten, and In
consequence there is not enough nourish-
ment to sustain the body. The system loses
vitality and every organ becomes more or
less affected.
Lack OF energy and ambition not only
affects the body, but the mind also be-
comes dull and sluggish. The memory is
not 80 good and the eyeslght becomes
somewhat poorer.
"As I have already stated. believe these
parasites are very prevalent. shall prove
this conclusRely before leave Omaha with
my preparations. My medicine in cleans
ing the stomach of impurities seems to be
! fatal to these great worms and drives them
from the system with astonishing rHpidlty
shall be at the drug department Of the
Brandeis stores for several weeks TO come
and will continue to meet those who wish
to see me at this store from 10 O'Clock unit
g. wish to assure any one in Omaha who
has had the experience just related with
my preparation, that there is no cause
for alarm In the matter and that 1t will
as a rule, mean a speedy restoration tc
| good health" ~'
