The Law as to Sign Posts.
Most read overseers are per
'•laps not aware of the fact that
the law requires sign-posts to be
r>ut up at the forks of their re

ollow the law is ten dollars.
,-n posts are a frreat benefit to
he traveling public, and especial
to strangers. In years past
;ioe law was observed far more
han at the preseent time.
Section 2722 of the Revisal of
J. 905 reads as follows.
"Sign-posts put up. Overseers

t:an be computed, and every ove*- 1
eer who shall, for ten days after
>e>tice of his appointment, neglect
to do so and to keep the same in
repair shall forfeit and pay for
avery such neglect ten dollars."
There is also a statute against
defacing rnilp-posts, and this
reads as foilows:
"Injury to sign boards or mile
posts. If any person shall nee -
ies n ly remove, knock down on ef
face any public sign posts, arm 3

PECULIAR PROPERTIES
OF NEW MEDICINE
Cooper Preparation Attracts Widespread At
tention by Expelling Internal
Parasites.
Th© interest created in leading cities
daring the past year by young Mr.
Cooper with his new preparation, is
largely accounted for by a peculiar
quality possessed by this medicine,
which he calls his New Discovery.
Mr. Cooper believes that internal
parasites, or tapeworms, are respon
sible for much HI health, and it is an
undoubted tact that his medicine has
expelled immense numbers of these
creatures in various cities visited by
him. The young man also believes
that stomach troublMq the main cause
of all ill health. He claims that few
can have poor health with a good di
gestion. He further claims that his
Mew Discovery medicine does nothing
but tone up the stomach, yet it not
only expels the parasites, but relieves
many other ailments not as a rule as
sociated with stomach trouble.
Little Jessie Birdsall, daughter of
Mrs. Ida Birdsall, living at 2138 Car
roll Avenue, Chicago, is among many
relieved of a large parasite by Mr.
Cooper's preparation during bis stay
in that city. In speaking of the mat
ter to Mr. Cooper, the mother said:
; 'My child Jessie, who is fourteen years
old, has been suffering with this
trouble for over seven years. Until
this morning we did not know what!
Cc C CURES
d* d* d* RHEUMATISM
Every case of Rheumatism has its origin and its development in the
blood. It is not a disease which is contracted like a cold, but it is in the
blood and system before a pain is felt, and the changes in the weather or
any physical irregularities, such as a spell of indigestion, bowel disturbance,
etc., are merely the exciting causes producing the pains and aches, which
are the natural symptoms of the disease. Rheumatism is caused by an
excess of uric acid andather corrosive, irritating poisons in the blood, which
are carried through the circulation to every part of the system. Every
muscle, nerve, membrane, tissue and joint becomes saturated with these
acrid, irritating impurities, or coated with fine, insoluble caustic matter,
and the sharp, piercing pains or the dull, constant aches are felt with every
physical movement. When the blood is filled with uric acid poison, perma
nent relief cannot be expected from liniments, plasters, or other external
treatment. Such measures give temporary relief, but in order to conquer
Rheumatism and bring about a p— —————————————

the trouble was. She was extremely
nervous; the least little thing would
upset her; her tongue was coated, and
at times she would have a good ap
petite, then again could not bear the
sight of food; lie was restless at
night, had a jad breath, especially
when she got up of mornings. We
tried everything to relieve her, but
met with no success. We were just
on the point of giving up trying any
thing else, when we began to read of
Cooper's New Discovery. Several days
ago we purchased this medicine.- Jes
sie has been using it regularly, and
this morning this parasite left her
system. I don't wonder that she has
always felt bad, and nothing we would
give her seemed to relieve her. Now
that she is relieved of this tapeworm
I feel sure that she will grow better
each day, and enjoy perfect health.
Mr. Cooper, your medicine is worth a
thousand times more than you charge
for it. I know of a number of people
troubled the same way as Jessie has
been, and I certainly expect to tell
them personally to try your medicine."
We would advise anyone who has
been troubled for some time with gen
eral poor health to try this great med
icine. We are agent for it in this city.
