Cooper's recent visit to Chicago, where his new preparation and theory created the usual sensation, many hundreds of people brought enormous internal parasites to the young man, which had left the system after taking; his medicine. Among these people was Mr. Emil Winkler, who brought to Cooper a tapeworm that proved to be over ninety feet in length. Mr. Winkler, who resides at 182- Cast Ohio Street, Chicago, had this to say of his experi ence: "For five years I have been more or less complaining. I hare had severe headaches, and any food that I would eat would nauseate me. I would have bad dreams almost every night: dizzy spells would compel me to quit work. Black spots would appear be fore my eyes when stooping over and rising quickly. I would feel tired most of the time;, in fact. I had no life in me to speak of for the last five years. I tried various treatments, and one physician In St. Louis Was recom mended to me. and I was under his treatment some time, but as usual I obtained no relief. . "So many people asked me to try Cooper's preparation that I decided to do so, and after using it for a few days, this awful thing passed from my system. I feel much better already, and I want to say right here that I thank Mr. Cooper a hundred times for what his medicine has done' for me. I would not take J.'.OOO and have that thing back In my system again." Mr. Winkler Js a fair sample of the experience of many during Cooper's stay in Chicago, and this no doubt helped to account for the enormous sale of the Cooper preparation in this city and others, recently visited by the young man. We sell and will be pleased to ex-' plain the Cooper preparations. The Skidmore Drug Co., Portland; Huntley Bros. Co., Oregon City, Or.
