MOST PEOPLE Do
NOT KNOW CAUSE
OF THEIR SICKNESS

Does human health depend on one
organ alone? This question is becom-
ing widely discussed since L. T. 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-
-rArkable success Ia the sale of his
nsw medicine, 3siiSseS that the at0m-
ach is responsible for most sickness,
and that this organ is weak in the
present generation. While discussing
this theory recently, he said: Il am
asked time and again to tell why my
medicine has made such a record
wherever l have introduced 1t. My an
swer always is, because il restores the
stomach to a normal condition No
n will deny that today there are
more half-sick men and women than
ever before. Nothing critical seems
to be the matter with them. They
are just half-sick 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-
BILE was. One said nervousness, another
said kidney trouble, another liver com
plant, some constipation, or heart
trouble, or lung trouble. Many had
trsLtad, as they called it, for most Of
eSa;s diseases at different times. A
very common complaint is all run
down. or tired all the time,' or no
Appetite
Il know positively that every bit of
this chronic i'll 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 medi-
cine is selling at such a tremendous
rate. I 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..
Cooper's beliefs is Mrs. Lottie l..
Miner, living on Rural Route No. 2,
Henniker, N. H., who says: II 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. |

illness. Life became such a burden

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, l noticed a marked i'm
provement. Five bottles made me en-
tirely well. can eat anything l wish,
and have not been troubled with my
stomach since. The dizzy spells dis
appeared long ago.
my mother, Mrs. Susan Parkins,
is a nurse of long experience. Both she
and my father have used the Cooper
remedies with splendid results. l will
be glad to answer any personal CORE
spondence in regard to my case"

The circumstances under which Jefferson was Sc
lected for the honorable task Of writing the Declaration
of Independence were at one time the subject OF con-
siderable controversy. The evidence on the subject
is derived chiefly from the writings of John Adams and
of Jefferson himself. These two distinguished states
men disagree as to some important details.
Mr.. Jefferson in his memoir written in 1921 states
simply that the committee for drawing the Declaration
desired him to do it: that he accordingly wrote 1t, and
that, being approved by the committee, he reported 1t
to congress on Friday, the twenty-eighth of June, when.
after three days of debate, 1t was adopted on July 4.
In Mr.. Adams autobiography he says: 1.-THE com
mittee of independence were Thomas Jefferson, John
Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Roger Sherman, Robert R.
Livingston. There were more reasons than one for the
selection of Jefferson for such important work. He
had the reputation of a mastery pen; he was a dele
gate from Virginia. Another reason was Richard
Henry Lee was not beloved by most of his colleagues
from Virginia, and Jefferson was set up to rival and
supplant him. The committee had several meetings in
which were proposed the articles of which the Decla-
ration was to consist, and minutes made Of them.
The work of making the draft was left to Jefferson and
me, but on my i~nsistence Jefferson alone did the work.
