swept the Kelvin hotel in Belfast, Ireland. Rev
Mr.. McCaughan resigned his charge in Chicago
three years ago to accept pastorate of church

and employees cut off from escape. Three
employees were burned to death and many of the
guests injured perhaps fatally. The Nc
Caughans occupied rooms on upper floor of the
hotel and when the fire started, tried to escape
by a stairway. They were hemmed in by the
flames, were severely burned and at last jumped
from window.

STOMACH CENTER

The immense success which has fol-
lowed L. T. Cooper during the past
year with his new preparation has ex-
ceeded anything Of the kind ever be-
fore witnessed in most of the leading
cities where the young man has intro
duced the medicine. Cooper has a
novel theory. He believes that the
human stomach is directly responsible
for most disease. To quote his own
words from an interview upon his ar
rival in an eastern city: THE average
man or woman cannot be sick If the
stomach is working properly. To be
sure, there are diseases of virulent
nature, such as cancer, tuberculosis,
diabetes, ETC., which are organic, and
are not traceable to the stomach, but
even fevers can, In nine cases out of
ten, be traced to something taken into
the stomach. All of this half-sick,
nervous exhaustion that is now so
common, is caused by stomachic con-
ditions, and it is because my rem.
edy will and does regulate the stom-
ach that / am meeting with such sue
cess.
ITO sum the matter up-a sound d.
gestive apparatus that is doing its
full duty, getting every particle of vi
tally out of the food by transferring
1t to the bowels in a perfectly digest
ed state-this above all else brings
health"
Mr. A. c. Brock, chef of the Brock
Restaurant, Market District, Boston,

Mr.. Cooper's theory and medicine, has
this to say: Il had chronic indiges-
