Rydquist wysj 'The Protestant Church h.J dared ite position at the Diet of Worms i. it si ma unaltered Augsburg confession There stood Luther to all appearance venr much alone. To what Diet of Worms and to what confession of Ann. burg, doea the reverend pastor refer? Doea he mean that the unaltered Augs burg Confession' drawn up by Melan chUion and approved by Luther in 1530 waa presented at the celebrated Diet of Worma held in 1521? A little more light here will avoid misunderstandings. If the Diet of Augsburg (1530). before in the unaltered Augsburg confession, burg waa presented, is meant, wat Luther in attendance there and alone? "Fifth: The reverend pastor also in forma us, among other things, which I omit to be brief but to which I may re turn later, that Luther stood there 'In the interest of humanity' 'in the inter est of liberty declaring the freedom of conscience and the right of private judg ment.' How humane are Luther'e aenti ments written to John Rukeh A wise man gives to the ass food, a pack-saddle and the whip; to the peasant oat-straw. If they are not content, a-iva them tha cudgel and the carbine; it is their due. Let ua pray that they may be obedient j ii not, snow them no merer.

Cooper'a theory concerning' tbe human stomach, which he claims to prove, with his new medicine, it being given more respect and comment every day, Cooper claims that 90 per cent, of all ill bealth is due to stomach trouble. When interviewed about bia theory re cently, he said: Stomach trouble is the great curse of tbe 20th century so far at the civilized race are con cerned. Practically all of the chronic ill health of this generation is caused by abnormal ttomacbie conditions, in earlier days, when the human race waa closer to nature, and men and women worked all day out of doors, diraini their, frugal existence from the soil. the tired, droopy, half-sick people that are now so common, did not exist. "To be sure, there waa sickness in those days, but it was of a virulent character, and, only temporary. There waa none of this balf-akk condition all the , time, with which so many . are afflicted nowdays. , - . 'I knew positively that every bit of tbla chronic ill health h caused by stomach trouble. The human stomach in civilized people today, ia degenerate. It Jacks tone and strength. Thia weak nesa haa gradually , come through a sedentary existence. I further know that fen people can be aide with tha digestive apparatus in perfect shape. The sole reason for my euocesa Is be cause my Xew Discovery medicine tonea the stomach up to required strength ia about six weeks', time. That I why I have bad more people come and thank me whenever I have gone to introduce my medcine, than I have had time to talk with." Among the immense numbers of peo ple who are now atrong believera in Cooper's theory and medicine ia Mrs. ii. , Delano, a prominent resident of the suburb of Brookline, Boston, Maae. She aays: "For several years I waa broken in hearth, caused primarily br stomach and nerve trouble, I gradu ally became worse, until recently I wai compelled to go without solid food for i day a at. a time. I had sour stomach, palpitation of the nerves of stomach and heart dyspepsia, said extreme ner vousness. I suffered terribly with in somnia, and my liver, bowels and whole system gradually' became de ranged. I felt instant relief the first , dsy I began this Cooper median. I now feel like m new behw. Today I walked all over town, shoppingsomething I nave not done for yeara. "I make thia statement wholly from a sense of duty. I feel I owe It to any one who might find relief and renewed happiness aa I have done.' The record made by the Cooper med icine la astonishing, we will fake pleasure in discussing it with anyone who wishes to know about them.
