ONLY NECESSARY TO
' TREAT THE STOMACH
Claim of Central Figure in Recent Contro
versy Is Novel.
The new theory advanced by L. T.
Cooper relative to the human stom
ach has attracted such widespread
attention that the public in cities
visited by the young man has been
joined by many physicians in a dis
cussion of his beliefs and medicines.
Mr. Cooper says that human health
is dependent almost entirely upon the
stomach. He says that no disease
can be conquered without first alle
viating all stomach disorders. He
further says that most men and wom
en of this generation are half-sick,
owing to degenerate stomachs. And
lastly, he claims that his New Dis
covery medicine will rejuvenate the
human stomach in 90 days.
Cooper has been traveling from one
city to another .conducting in each
what he calls a campaign of educa
tion. For the past year he has met
the public in the larger cities of the
country, and his success has been
phenomenal Thousands of people
have flocked to his headquarters
wherever he has gone, and the sale
of his medicine has been beyond any
thing of the kind ever before wit
nessed. Possibly the most interesting fea
ture of the attention this young man
has attracted is what his army of
followers, whom he has converted to
his beliefs through his medicines,
have to say on the subject. The fol
lowing statements are from two well
known residents of Chicago and
Boston, respectively, and the enthusi
asm of these is characteristic oli taste good. Anyone who knows what
of a dull pain that I could not quite
understand. Then there was a dull
headache, and my mind seemed to be
wandering continually. I could not
eat, and what little solid food I did
eat I could not retain on my stomach.
I tried every remedy I could think
of, and also tried out a number of
patent medicines, but without any ap
parent result It was through one of
my friends that I heard of Cooper's
preparation, and I immediately de
cided to try some of it. It is two
weeks since I thook my first dose of
it, and I feel like a new woman. The
headache seems to have disappeared,
and the pain in my stomach along
with it. The medicine is worth its
weight in gold, and I want to thank
Mr. Cooper for what he has done for
me."
Mr. Edwin F. Morse, of 20 Oakley
street, Dorchester, a suburb of Bos
ton, says: "For three years I had
not a well day. My stomach was in
frightful shape; the mere thought of
food would nauseate me, and I really
had a horror of anything to eat. All
solid food would cause me extreme
indigestion, bloating and gas on my
stomach, and nothing tasted right
Some time ago I got some of this
Cooper's medicines, about which
there is so much talk. I actually feel
as well and strong as a boy ever since
the first bottle. Every sign of stom
ach trouble has disappeared, and I
have a hearty appetite and eat three
square meals; every thing seems to
change; Mr. Nikkendcr of the Ar
meria going to the Heather, and Mr.
. Amcratram, of the latter vessel tak
ing the billet on the flagship of that
fleet.
The French ship Andre Teodorc is
on the way up from the Bay City on
the hawsers of the tug Dauntless, to
load wheat out of Portland for Liver
pool and she must fill her charter
date of March 2nd, hence the des
patch used by her owners.

TARPON TACTICS.
Cooper's admirers generally.
Mrs. H. B. Mack, of 3201 State
street, Chicago, says: "I have been
suffering for 12 years from a combi
nation of stomach troubles, catarrh
and constipation. I had a gnawing
pain in the pit of my stomach, a sort,
chronic indigestion is can appreciate
what this means to me, I consider
this the most remarkable medicine I
ever heard of."
We sell Mr. Cooper's medicines,
and find them to. be ..all he claims.

Wonderful Feats, Flight and Lease of

Id the big pass tarpon can beat bo
caught from near the bottom of the
channel and should bo Ashed for with
fifty feet of line and a heavy tinker.
In shallow water the tarpon leaps
high in air the Instant ho feels the
hook, but In the pats ho often flgbta
for a minute or two before coining to
the surface. More than once when I
had coine to fear that my tarpon was
a shark he has suddenly shot above
the surface like a bullet from a gun
and in the first wild shako of his hoad
thrown hook and bait fifty feet In the
air, and oue even sent a four ounce
leaden sinker dying over my head from
nearly twice that distance. Other tar
pon when struck came straight up '
from the bottom, one grazing our gun- j
wale as he rose and another leaping j
over the stern of the canoe. As toon
as a tarpon was tired enough to let us ,
pall the canoe beside him wo removed
the book from bis mouth and let him
swim home to bis family. It happened
once that a tarpon was less tired than i
wo had assumed.- On that occasion we
swam home, and be bad a good man
story to tell bis friends. ;
It had been counted a poor year for i
tarpon, yet in fifteen consecutive days j
of fishing we were fast to forty-four :
tarpon, each of which had Jumped for
as from one to twelve times. This I
high water mark of twelve Jumps was I
made by a tarpon which was stlmn- j
lated to his later efforts by the pre-
ence of a pursuing shark, and the
twelfth Jump was a double number, j
There was commotion in the crimsoned I
water, new vigor at the other end of j
my line, and it was an hour later when
I finally landed on a sand bar a shark
with an aldermanlc stomach. A knife
drawn across this distended organ dis
closed the tarpon in sections, with the
hook still fast in his Jaw, and enabled
the camera man to photograph to
gether the subjects be had recently
photographed separately. Although
this shark was only one-fifth the size
of our big hammerhead, yet he made
bnt two bites of his victim.
Our work at Boca Grando ended with
the red letter day of the season of all
seasons. I was fishing in the pass with
fifty feet of line and the bait was dl
rectly under the canoe when a tarpon
struck fiercely, quickly carried away a
hundred more feet of line and then
swam so swiftly toward us that I fear
ed from the loosened lino that he had
escaped. Then, fifty feet from the ca
noe, there shot Into the air a giant tar
pon, measuring, as we learned after
ward, an even seven feet Up, up, np,
he rose until the camera seemed to be
pointed at the zenith, and before the
rattled camera man could get bis aim
the silver king had turned gracefully
in the air and was plunging downward.
The captain swears that he saw, swing
ing clear of the water, the ribbon which
marked twenty-five feet on the line as
it hung plnmb down from the. tarpon.
Once I gave my own estimate of toe
height of the Jump to a group of
friends and after a glance at their
grieved expressions appealed to the one
of most experience on the coast and
with the tarpon. After a single mo
ment of hesitation he remarked firmly:
"We fishermen must stand together,

When "Drammert" Come Easy.
At the Players' club in New Xork
one evening there was a guest from
out of town, a playwright well known
for bis extraordinary facility In turn
ing out the alleged "drammers" that
do the "ten-twenty-thirt" drculta. It
is no uncommon thing for this pro
ducer to grind out five or six of his
plays annually.
Some one Innocently asked the play
wright if It was rather difficult to find
new ideas for bis plays.
"Really I don't know," was the frank
answer of the man who baa made
thousands of dollars from his "dram
mers." "I have never tried it"-New
