CiSbper Tells Chicago Repoftet: Why He Accomplishes So MuchT No ma In recent years has been trior successful in restoring human health than h. T. Cooper. During his stay in Chicago, and while he was meeting thousands ot people dally, he gave the following reason for the re markable demand for his medicine to a reporter: Mr. Cooper said: "My New Discov ery is successful because it corrects the stomach. My theory is that few can be sick if the digestive apparatus is working properly. It naturally fol lows that few can be well with a poor digestion. "I know from experience that most of the tired, half-sick people that are so common now-a-daya have half-sick stomachs. Put the stomach in shape, and nature does the rest The result Is general good health. My medicine does this. That is why fifty thousand people here in Chicago are using it who never heard of me until a month ago." Among the fifty thousand mentioned by Mr. Cooper who used his medicine in Chicago is Mrs. Hilda Pflueger, liv ing at 1203 Alnslle Avenue. This is the statement she makes concerning tier experience with the medicine: pi have bees slcfe (or sU years with THE FIDDLERS V CONVENTION. Successfully Mvt l-'rlday Mylit Award ed Contestants.
