MOST PEOPLE DO
NOT KNOW CAUSE
OF THEIR SICKNESS

Does human health depend on ons
organ alone? This question is becom-
ing widely discussed since /. 7. Coop
er first advanced his theory that the
stomach is the true seat OF life and all
health dependent upon it.
Mr.. Cooper, who has met with re-
narkable 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: 4 am
asked time and again to tell why my
medicine has made such record
wherever have introduced it. My an.
sver always is, because it restores the
stomach to normal condition No
one will deny that today there are
more halfsick men and women than
ever before. Nothing critical seems
to be the matter with them. They
are Just half-,ick most of the time.
They don't know really what is the
matter with them. have talked with
thousands during the past two years,
and few knew indeed what their trou-
bic was. One said nervousness, another
said kidney trouble, another liver COM
plant, some constipation, or heart
trouble, or lung trouble. Many had
treated, as they called it, for most of
these diseases at different times. \
very common complaint is all run
down, or tired all the time, or no
appetite
4 know positively that every bit Of
this chronic Ill health Is caused by
stomach trouble and nothing else.
My New Discovery puts the stomach
in sound condition in about six weeks.
Mighty few people can be sick with a
sound digestion. That is why my mcdi-
cine is selling at such a tremendous
rate. have convinced many thou
sands Of people that these things are
SO, and the number is growing by
leaps and bounds"
Among more recent converts TO Mr.
Coopers beliefs Is Mrs. Lottie L.
Miner, living on Rural Route No 2.
Henuiker, N. H., who says: Il was in
poor health for six years, from stOm-
ach trouble and Indigestion. Quite
frequently my stomach was so weak
that it would not retain solid food.
had vomiting spells every morning, ana
was subject to frequent attacks Of diz-
Einess. Life became such q burden
that I often felt it was not worth the
living. I tried everything I could hear
or but found nothing that would af
ford relief,
For some time had been reading
OF the Cooper remedies, and finally de-
cided to give the New Discovery
preparation a trial. After taking the
first bottle, I noticed a marked i'm
proyemcnt. Five bottles made me ou-
tirely we'll. I can eat anything I wish,
and have not been troubled with my
stomach since. The dizzy spells dis
appeared long ago.

Strangely enough, the one really dan
rcrous spider on the American contt-
nent Is small, obscure and practically
unknown to popular or journalistic
hysteria. Latrodectus mactans Is its
scientific name. 1t is about the size Of
a large pea, black with a red spot on
the back-a useful danger signal-and
spins a small web in outhouses or
around wood piles. So faras is known,
Its poison Is the most virulent and
powerful, drop for drop. secreted by
any living creature. Cobra virus, In
the minute quantity which the latro-
dectus' glands contain, would prob
ably have no %appreciable effect upon
man, whereas the tiny spiders ven
ON. in the volume injected by the
cobra's stroke, would slay a herd Of
elephants. Were this little known
crawler as large as the common black
hunting spider Of our gardens and
lawns its bite would be almost In
variably fatal. Happily the red
spots" fangs, being small and. weak,
can with difficulty penetrate the skin
and are able to inject venom In dan
gerous quantity only when the bite is
,inlicted upon some tender skinned
portion Of the body. Nevertheless IA
talities consequent upon the bite Of
this insect are sufficiently well attest
ed to take rank as established scien-
fife facts.-Samuel Hopkins Adams in

HIS ENERGY WAS WASTED

Over Occurrence on
Street Car.

He was tall and he was lanky and
politely ~inebriated. He carefully ne
gotiated the curb and pulled solemn
ly at a dead cigar as he boarded a
crowded street car. He leaned Imply
against the tailboard and gazed va
cantly out into space over the heads
of his fellow-passengers. AS the car
jerked forward he lurched backward
and split himself between the rails.
The kind conductor gathered him up
and anchored him safely to a window
bar. He looked around him In wrin-
killed. perplexity and at last he spoke:
"C'llision?" he asked of the small
man on whose toes he was standing.

A silence, then.
"'Splosion?" he inquired.

lantly.
Nothing, SIR" meekly returned his
victim.
"Nothin' 'smatter!" he calculated
with a frown; "f I'd known that I

The Combustih!e Give.

AS long ago as the middle Of the
eighteenth century, a famous Georgian
actress, Mrs. Kitty Give, felt the call Of
the nerves commonly associated with
modern women. The whole green room,
according to the author OF "Garrick
and his Circle" feared her tantrums.
Her character stood high, but her
clean, wholesome nature and honest
heart scarcely offset her temper. She
was the one player Garrick feared, and
he did everything he could to dis
perse her nerve storms, OF, II they
broke, assuage them. 1t is among
the legends of the English stage that
he said to her:
Il have heard of tartar and brim-
stone, but you are the cream Of n

Sir Richard Owen during one Of his
sojourns in Egypt. The great natural.
list was seated In the shade on the We
randa at Sheppeard's hotel when the
Inevitable snake charmer came to him
ard produced from his bag a lively
specimen of the horned asp-the dead
~ ~cerastes. The professor gazed and.
nothing daunt>0. stopped and plucked
the horns from the head Of the reptile
wriggling at his feet, remarking to a
bystander that the man would prob
ably think twice before trying to palm
OF upon any II else a harmless
snake as a cerastes by the aid Of a
couple of fish bones. With anybody
else the charmer would probably have
succeeded. He had tried 1t on the
