' No man in recent years has been
more successful in restoring human
health than L. T. Cooper. During his
stay in Chicago, and while he was
meeting thousands of people daily, he
cave the following reason for the
remarkable demand for his medicine
to a reporter:
Mr. Cooper said: "My New Dis
covery is successful because it cor
rects the stomach. My theory is that
few can be sick if the digestive appa
ratus is working properly. It natur
ally follows that few can be well with
a poor digestion.
"I know -from experience that most
of the tired, half-sick people that are
so common now-a-days have half-
sick stomachs. Put the stomach in
shaoe. and nature does the rest The
result is eeneral good health. My
medicine does this. That is why 50,
000 people here in Chicago are using
it who never heard of me until
month ago."
Stunner the 50.000 mentioned by
Mr. Cooper who used his medicine in
Chicago is Mrs. Hilda Pfluger, liy
: 1?M Ainslee avenue. This is
j u b -
the statement she makes concerning
her experience with the medicine:
"I have been sick for six years
with stomach trouble. I was always
hungry, but did not dare to eat much,
as I had severe pains in my stomach,
and also through my body. I could
not sleep at night and was very rest
less. I was also very nervous, and
would have severe headaches. I was
constipated, and always felt bloated
after eating.
"I had tried many remedies, but
could secure no relief, until one day
I noticed in the nespapers what won
derful results Cooper's medicines
were accomplishing in Chicago. I de
cided to try them, and shortly after
commencing the treatment I began
to feel better. I did not have those
severe pains in my stomach, and I
could sleep at night; my appetite im
proved, and I can now eat well,
am feelinf? like a new woman.
"I am very thankful to Mr. Cooper
for what his remedies have done for
me. They have restored me to good
health, and I would advise any one
who suffers as I did to try them.

They are easily the most celebrated
preparations ever introduced in this
country, growing in popularity daily.
