STOMACH CENTER
OF HUMAN LIFE
ALL ELSE SECONDARY

The immense success which has fol.
lowed L. T. Cooper during the past
year with his new preparation has ex-
ceeded anything of the kind ever be-
fore witnessed in most of the leading
cities where the young man has intro
duced the medicine. Cooper has a
novel theory. He believes that the
human stomach is directly responsible
for most disease. To quote his own
words from an interview upon his ar
rival in an eastern city: "The average
man or woman cannot be sick if the
stomach is working properly. To be
sure, there are diseases of virulent
nature, such as cancer, tuberculosis,
diabetes, ETC., which are organic, and
are not traceable to the stomach, but
even fevers can, in nine cases out Of
ten, be traced to something taken into
the stomach. All of this half-sick,
nervous exhaustion that is now so
common, is caused by stomachic con-
ditions, and it is because my rem
