TUESDAY, AFRII, ZO, PEOPLE OF THE WEST FLOCKED Sufferers From all Sorts About His Theory and Medicine. During a recent tour In th west T. T. Cooper made visits of several weeks in various , cities in Kansas, where thousands of people talked with him and purchased his medicine. His success was so phenomenal as to cause universal Comment both by the public and the press. There must be a reason for this. Here is the reason given in his own words by Mr. Cooper when interviewed on the subject. He said: "The immense - numbers of people who are calling on me here in the west is not unusual. I have had the same experience for the past two years wherever I have gone. The reason is a simple one. It is because my medi cine puts the stomach into good condi tion. This d-es not sound unusual, but it is in fact the key to health. The stomach is the very foundation of life. I attribute 70 per cent of all sickness directly to the stomach. "Neither animals nor men can remain well with a poor digestive apparatus. Few can be sick with a digestion in perfect condition. As a matter of fact, most men and women today are half -sick. It is because too much food and too little exercise have gradually forced the stomach into a half-sick condition. My medicine gets the stomach back where it was, and that is all that Is necessary." Among Kansas people who are stanch believers In Mr. Cooper's theory is Mr. J. L. Haysllp. residing at 202 Kansas avenue, Oakland, Kansas. He says: "For some time I have been a suf ferer from rheumatism. It finally be came so bad that I could not sleep at night, and I was getting worse every AWAIT IRON HORSE Klamath Falls Plans Celebra tion About June 1.
