Cooper during tho past year with bia new preparation has ex ceeded anything of the kind ever be fore witnessed In moat of the leading cities where the young man baa Intro duced the medicine. Cooper bag a novel theory. Ha believes that the hu man stomach Is directly responsible for most disease. To quota bis own words from an Interview upon his ar rival la ati eastern city: "The average man or woman cannot be sick It the stomach ts working properly. To be sure, there are diseases of a virulent nature, such as cancer, tubnrculoals, diabetes, etc., which are organic, and are not traceable to the) stomach, but even fevers can, in nine cases out of ten, be traced to something taken Into tho stomach. All of this half-sick, nervous exhaustion that la now so common, Is caused by the stomachic conditions, and It Is because my rem edy will and does regulate tho stom ach that 1 am meeting with such suc cess. fTo gum the matter hd a sound dl Steward's Opera House 1 D.

I am no longer nervous, my food does not dlutress me In the least, and I have a splendid appetite. 1 am gaining flesh tery rapidly in fact, at the rite of a pound a day. I would not believe any medicine on earth could have done for me what this baa done. It Is a remarkable preparation, and Mr. Cooper deserves all bis suc cess." i Wo recommend the Cooper prnpnrv Uona as being remarkable medicines. A. i. HUL ,HMWWM5 Ow
