Carleton H. Hutchinson, a leading
banker and broker of Boston, with
offices at 8 . Congress Street, in that
city, has recently come out with a very
strong statement.
In the widespread discussion over
Cooper's new theory and medicines
which has spread over the country so
rapidly, Mr. Hutchinson has taken the
side of those who say that Cooper's
theory Is correct and his medicine all
that he claims.
Mr. Hutchinson's emphatic state
ment is as follows: "Any one afflicted
with chronic ill health and a general
run-down condition caused by stomach

"I heard of Cooper's success first
when he was in, Chicago, as I have a
private wire to that city in connection
with my business. Later, when he
came East, I learned more of him and
his theory that stomach trouble causes
most 111 health. I have had no faith

time I spent over $1500 with abso
lutely np relief. I felt that It would at
least do no harm to try the medicine
which I was hearing so much about.
"During these eight years I have
been forced to go without solid food
for five and six weeks at a time. I
always nad a sour stomach, was
troubled with formation of gas, and
led the usual miserable life of the dys
peptic. I was dull, tired, nervous and
gloomy all the time, and w'as always
constipated.
''I have taken Cooper's medicine a
comparatively short time. For the
past month I have not had the slight
est sign of stomach trouble. I can eat
anything with no bad effect whatso
ever. I have a fine appetite, am gain
ing flesh very rapidly, am cheerful,
full of energy, and my nervousness has
disappeared. My bowels are in perfect
condition for the first time In eight
years.
"I don't hesitate to say that I would
not take $50,000 and be back where I
was. My relief and thankfulness is
beyond description."
