The man who has created all this

Cooper is a man about thirty years

actually did so.
In consequence people fiocked 10
him by thousands and his prepare

Cooper actually reached this city little
attention was paid to them. Hardly

about two weeks time.
This statement seems to have been
borne out by the remarkable results
obtained through the use of his prep

in Cooper will last is hard to estimate.
