AS SUCCESSFUL EAST AS IN THE WEST Cooper's Theories Are Being* Rapidly Accepted by Eastern People. L. T. Cooper, whose theory that the human stomach is the cause of most ill health and who created a furore in Chicago, St Louis and other western cities, is meeting with the same remarkable success* with his medicine throughout the east. Cooper has convinced an immense number of people that his theory is sound and his medicine will do what he claims. Perhaps th? most Interesting fear tures of the' discussion this *V>ung man is causing, are the statements made by responsible people who have taken his medicines and have become enthusiastic converts to his beliefs. Among statements of tills charac ter, the following, by Mr. August Wittmer, 1049 Rockwell Court, Chi cago, is characteristic of the wide spread faith in Cooper, which has grown up in a comparatively short time. Mr. "Wittmer says: *1 wouldn't take $l,OOO and be in the condition I was three weeks ago. I was practi cally an invalid for fourteen years and think I had about all of the dis eases known. My stomach was weak, ant at times I would have an enor 1 New Supply I 1 Kodak Films | I and Plates : : 8 JUST" REOEIVED I a Full Line Kodaks I jj and Supplies. | 1 B. A.

I was ner i vous, and for weeks at a time could ' sot sleep, and then again could sleep ■ eighteen hours at a stretch. Sleep, ' however, seemed to do me no good, and I would awake tired and more exhausted than when I went to bed. -1 was constipated, had pains in ' my back, and llutterlngs and pains in my heart. I was unable to work with any regularity, and took no in terest in anything. I tried all kinds of medicines and doctors, but none benefited me. I had no energy and no ambition, and had about concluded to give up when the Cooper medicine was recommended. Thanks to it* my health seems completely restored and I feel like a new man." Cooper medicines have created the greatest sensation of anything of the ; kind ever before introduced. We sell them, and will be glad to SK* plain the nature of them to our callers. ■ -E. B. Menaier,
