L. T. Cooper's theory concerning
the human stomach. which he claims
to prove, with his new medicine, is
being given more respect and co:l-
ment every day.
Cooper claims that 90 per cent e
all i'll health is due to stomach trou-
BILE. When interviewed about n
theory recently, he said: "Stoma Ia
trouble is the great curse of the goth
century so far as the civilized races
are concerned. Practically all of the
chronic i'll health of this generation
is caused by abnormal stomachfc
conditions. In earlier days, when
the human race was closer to nature,
and men and women worked all day
out of doors, digging their frugal ex-
istence from the soil, the tired,
droopy, half-sick people that are now
so common, did not exist.
ITO be sure, there was sickness in
those days, but it was of a viruleDt
character. and only temporary. There
was none of this half-sick condition
all the time with which so many are
afflicted nowadays.
''I know positively that every bit
of this chronic i'll health is caused by
stomach trouble. The human stom-
ach in civilized people today is de-
generate. 1t lacks tone and strength.
This weakness has gradually come
through a sedentary existence. /
further know that few people can be
sick with the digestive apparatus in
perfect shape. The sole reason for
my success is because my New Dis
