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 % per cent. of
all ill health is due to stomach trou-
BILE. When interviewed about his theory
recently, he said: "Stotaach trouble is
the great curse of the goth century so
far as the civilized races are con-
cerned. Practically alt 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 halt.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 l have gone to introduce
my medicine, than l 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 l was
broken in health, caused primarily by
stomach and nerve troubles. l gradu-
ally became worse, until recently was
compelled to go without solid food for
days at time. l had sour stomach,
palpitation of the nerves of stomach
and heart, dyspepsia, and extreme ner-
vousness. l suffered terribly with in
somnia, and my liver, bowels and
whole system gradually became de-
ranged. l felt instant relief the first
day l began this Cooper medicine. l

Miss Pat announced her intention or

"Holbrook Papers" I turned the pack
ct over and over in my hands, reflect
ing upon my responsibility and duty In
regard to it. Henry Holbrook, in his
anxiety to secure the notes, had taken
advantage of Gillespie's infatuation for
Helen to make her his agent for pro-
curing them, and now 1t was for me to
use the forged notes as a means Of re-
storing Arthur Holbrook to his sisters

enough, and / went to bed resolving
that in the morning / should go to

the evidence of his guilt in my posses

blackmail his sister.

the garden beyond the wall, and as
lifted my cap she came toward the
iron gate. She was rarely abroad so
early and imagined that she had been
waiting for me.

she said, with the delicious quaint
mockery with which she sometimes
/ fiattered me. And she repeated the
lines:

In the winds talking an articulate word ?
Or art thou in the secret of the sea,
And have the twilight woods confessed
