MOST PEOPLE DO

OF THEIR SICKNESS

Does human health depend On one
organ alone? This question Is becom

stomach Is the true seat of life and all
health dependent upon II.
Mr.. Cooper. who has met with 70
markable success In the sale Of his
new medicine. believes that the stom
ach is responsible for most sickness,
and that this organ Is weak In the
present generation. While discussing
this theory recently. he said: Il am

to be the matter with them. They

thousands during the past two years.
and few knew indeed what their trou-

these diseases at different times. A
