Was Takjnu No Chances,

Once upon time fond mother
disapproved of her daughter marrying.
This was the more awkward because
the young lady had picked the young
man out. Also he had wealth. And
the mother, who was widowed, had
not the wherewithal to furnish her
daughter with the variety of frocks
and things which her youthful heart
craved. Il might not object to the
man so much" said the mother one
evening, "if you would only let me

crecy!" The daughter replied: IF

MORE THAN TWO
THOUSAND PEOPLE
SEE COOPER DAILY

During L. T. Cooper's recent stay in
Boston, 1t is estimated that sixty-five
thousand people talked with him and
purchased his medicine. This Ia an
average Of over two thousand day.
His success is so phenomenal as to
cause universal comment both by the
public and the press. There must be a
reason for this. Here is the reason
given in his own words by Mr.. Cooper
when interviewed on the subject. He
said:
"The immense numbers Of people
who are calling on me here in Boston
is not unusual. I have had the same
experience for the past two years
wherever | have gone. The reason is
a simple one. 1t is because my medi-
cine puts the stomach in good condi-
ton. This does not sound unusual,
but 1t is in fact the key to health
The stomach is the very foundation of
life. attribute 80 per cent. of all
sickness directly to the stomach.
Neither animals nor men can re-
main well with a poor digestive ap-
paratus. Few can be sick with diges-
ton in perfect condition. AS matter
of fact, most men and women today
are half-sick. 1t is because too much
food and too little exercise have grad
ually forced the stomach into a half
sick condition. My medicine gets the
stomach back where it was, and that
Is all that is necessary"
Among Boston people who are
staunch believers in Mr.. Cooper's
theory, is Mr.. Frank D. Brown, of 81
Bloomingdale street, Chelsea, Mass.
He says:
For five years have sought relief
for indigestion, stomach trouble and
dyspepsia, spending nearly all my
wages with doctors and obtaining no
results. L had dull pains across my
back, radiating to the shoulders. /
had splitting headaches, which nothing
seemed to cure. There was a gnaw-
ing and rumbling in my stomach and
bowels. l was troubled with vertigo
and dizziness, and at times almost
overcome by drowsiness.
Il felt tired and worn out all the
time, my sleep was not refreshing, and
would get up in the morning feeling
as weary as when went to bed. My
appetite was variable-ravenous at
times, then again nauseated at the
sight of food. Sometimes my face
was pale, at other times flushed. |

catarrhal affection in nose and throat,
