UNLOCKED MEAT
VERY DANGEROUS
FEARFUL SUFFERING CAUSED BY
EGGS OF PARASITE WHICH IT
MAY CONTAIN STATE
MENT BY A PRIEST.

Omaha, Neh., Feb. 2.-Probably the
most unusual feature of the excite
ment that has been created by L. T.
Cooper's visit to this city is the re-
moval of parasites or tape worms by
his preparations.
During the early part of Cooper's
stay in Omaha individuals who were
taking New Discovery" as it is called,
brought either to himself or to physi-
slams throughout the city immense
parasites that had left the system
after using the medicine.
Many of these people were fright
ened, and cases of this sort became so
numerous that Cooper finally made
the following statement for publca-
ton:
He said: 'In every city I visit
these things are brought to me within
a few dayc aftr my medicine is sold
in the city. They are what is known
as the tape-worm, and grow to an
enormous size.
"Few, indeed, realize how prevalent
these creatures are. think | have
been the first to demonstrate what
large factor they are in the poor health
of this generation. 1 believe that
fully one-half of the chronic stomach
trouble now so universal is caused by
these parasites.
individuals may have them for
years and not be aware of the reason
for their continued ill-health, but at
tribute it to many different diseases,
when in reality one of these creatures
is robbing them Of their vitality.
These parasites are taken into the
system in uncooked food or raw meat,
in the form Of an egg, which matches
almost Immediately. People suffering
from them experience feeling Of
lassitude and are extremely nervous.
The action of Cooper's New Discov-
cry seems to be fatal to these great
worms, and in most cases a few doses
of the medicine drives the creatures
from tn system. / will have hundreds
of them brought to me before I leave
the city."
This grewsome prophecy has been
amply verified, for not only hundreds
but thousands of Omaha people have
been relieved of some Of these fearful
parasites since taking Cooper's prep
aration, and the entire city has been
aroused by the fact.
Some of these parasites are of such
enormous size as to startle the i'm
agination. The statement of Father
John Baptist Arnolis, one of the best
known and best beloved priests in
this section of the country verifies
this. His statement, among others
given to a reporter, was as follows:
For years I suffered from what
thought was a general rundown con-
dition of the system caused by stom-
ach trouble. | felt extremely tired all
the time, and it was great effort to
attend to my duties. / would wake
up in the morning feeling as worn out
as when went to bed. If I stood for
any length of time l would have pain
in the lower part of my back, and
would have to sit down.
Il was very nervous and depressed
in spirits, and was troubled with dizzy
spells. 1 would see spots before my
eyes when / stopped over and raised
up quickly. l had a very irregular APP
petite, and would have palp1tat1on OF
the heart after ascending the stairs.
"The talk about Cooper's prepare
tions was so universal that | decided
to try some, although / do not take
patent medicines as a rule. l took
four doses of the New Discovery as
it is called, and tape-worm about
sixty feet in length left my system.
81 am very thankful for this great
relief, and now 1 know what has been
the cause of all my suffering"
The story of Father Arnolis is a
fair sample of the experience of an
astonishing number of Omaha people.
and Cooper's preparations are selling
here in immense quantities. 1t is now
estimated that he has sold one hum
dred thousand bottles to date in this
city alone, and the sale is still in
creasing.
