Fought to Retain
Formula Which Has
Made a Fortune

L. T. Cooper, the man who believes
thai 80 per cent. of all i'll health Of
this generation Is caused by stomach
trouble, is fast winning a national faith
in his theory. His claim is now ad.
mitted by a surprising number of peo-
pie throughout the country, and he Is
gaining new a%dherents every day.
While speaking of his success in a
recent interview, Mr.. Cooper said: ~
believed ten years ago that any one
who could produce a formula that
would thoroughly regulate the stom-
ach would have a fortune. When | got
hold of this formula l knew within six
months that I was right, and that my
fortune was made. I called the med
icine Cooper's New Discovery, al
though l did not get up the formula.
l have owned it, however, for over
1--we years. ] have had one lawsuit
over 1t, which / won In the courts.
When it was settled The Cooper
Medicine Company became the only
arm in the world that can prepare
the medicine. The preparation has
sold like wildfre wherever introduced.

sim ply because 1t puts the stomach
In perfect shape, then nature does
the rest. There are any number of
Complaints never before associated
with stomach trouble that the medi-
!, cine has alleviated in thousands OF
cases"
Among statements obtained recent
ty from users of his medicine that ia
arousing such universal discussion is
one from Mrs. Emma Stanley. living in
Chicago, at 713 Washington Boule-
ward, who said: Perhaps I had the
most complicated case that Mr.. Cooper
had to deal with. I was troubled for
years with my stomach. I consulted
with doctors and took many patent
medicine preparations without result.
MY stomach was in such a wretched
shape that I could not enjoy a meal
that I ate.
II was very nervous, and could hard
iy sleep. 1 had a roaring in my ears
and dancing spots before my eyes. l
felt very bad and weak. Then there
was a very sore spot at the pit Of my
stomach that nearly set me wild.
II heard about the Cooper medicine
and decided to try it. I used four bot.
ties. and the improvement in my case
has been really wonderful. My nerves
have been quoted, and / am SO much
improved that I feel like a new
