MEDICAL LORE OF LONG Ago
Ancients Had Their System of Dealing
with Diseases, as Well as We
Have Ours.

That prehistoric man had ideas on
medicine and surgery Is proved by the
researches now in progress by the dis
tinguished Roman psychologist, Pro-
fessor Mosso, in Sicily and Cyprus. Ia
examining skeletons of men of the
neolithic age, Professor Mosso finds
that tuberculosis must have been of
pr1meval occurrence, judging from the
anKylos1s found in the knee-joint con-
sequent on so-called white tumor."
A 1aWbone was found bearing LESSONS
consequent on cancer; but it is an
thrills In every form, central and COL
lateral, that has been most often and
most clearly diagnosed. In treating
wounds regular and well understood
system was evidently employed. An
arrowhead, for example, imbedded in a
bone was not extracted, but the so
called "cure' took the form of rest
and restorative nourishment for the
sufferer. White tumors" (tuberculo-
sis In origin) were allowed to cure
themselves by ankylosis, resulting in
r1g1dlty of the joint or limb, only OBJ
talnable by repose and nutriment.
whether or not other special cures
were in practice cannot be made out
with certainty. though it is significant
that many Of the severely wounded
must have survived their LESSONS and
thata high percentage of fractures must
nave been conducted to complete repa-
ration. Skeletons, moreover, are in
evidence with the traces of chronic
surgical maladies, of long duration,
which testify to the patients having
been under some system of cure, pro-
tected in the struggle with the all
ment or even artificially sustained dur
ing its progress.

NEW THEORY IS
RAPIDLY SPREADING
OVER COUNTRY

L. T. Cooper's theory concerning the
human stomach, which he claims to
prove, with his new medicine, is being
given more respect and comment
every day.
Cooper claims that 80 per cent of
all i'll health is due to stomach trou-
BILE. When interviewed about his theory
recently, he said: Stomach trouble is
the great curse of the goth century so
far as the civilized races are con-
cerned. Practically all of the chronic
i'll health of this generation is caused
by abnormal stomachic 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 existence 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 virulent
character, and only temporary. There
was none of this half-sick condition
all the time with which so many are
afflicted nowadays.
Il know positively that every bit of
this chronic i'll health is caused by
stomach trouble. The human stomach
in civilized people today is degenerate
1t lacks tone and strength. This weak
ness has gradually come through sed-
entary existence. l further know that
few people can be sick with the diges-
tive apparatus in perfect shape. The
sole reason for my success is because
my New Discovery medicine tones the
stomach up to required strength in
about six weeks time. That is why
have had more people come and thank
me wherever have gone to introduce
my medicine, than have had time to
talk with
Among the immense numbers of peo-
pie who are now strong believers in
Cooper's theory and medicine is Mrs.
M. E. Delano, a prominent resident Of
the suburb of Brookline, Boston, Mass.
She says: For several years I was
broken in health, caused primarily by
stomach and nerve troubles. 1 gradu-
ally became worse, until recently was
compelled to go without solid food for
| days at time. I had sour stomach,
palp1tation of the nerves of stomach
and heart, dyspepsia, and extreme ner-
vousness. 1 suffered terribly with in
somnia, and my liver, bowels and
whole system gradually became de-
ranged. l felt instant relief the first
day began this Cooper medicine. l
now feel like a new being. Today I
walked all over town, shopping some
thing 1 have not done for years.
Il make this statement wholly from
q sense of duty. feel I owe it to any
one who might find relief and renewed
happiness as have done"

Care of Horses Feet.

II the horse already has defective
feet keep them carefully trimmed and
shod If necessary. The soft hoof
should be shod and reshod every six
or eight weeks in winter where the
ground is frozen and at all times of

with poor feet properly shod it will
do good service without loss of time.
