PHYSICIANS NOTE VIEWS OF
: COOPER ON HIMANSTOMACH
A1 recent article in the New Orleans
Item gives an account of the effect
upon the medical profession of that
city with regard to L. T. Cooper's the
ory that the human stomach is respon
sible for most ill health. The article
is as follows: ( '
"The astonishing sale of Cooper's
preparation in this city has now reach
ed such immense figures that the
medical fraternity have been forcedV
my attention concerning this Cooper
medicine have gone far toward re
moving the prejudice I had formed
against them when I first heard of
Cooper's new ideas and medicines.
" 'Numbers of my patients whom I
have treated for chronic liver, kidney
and stomach troubles have met me
and stated that Cooper's medicine has
accomplished wonderful results for
them. I notice particularly in cases
into open discussion of the man's th-.of stomach trouble that the man has
ories and medicines. v
"The physicians seem to be divided
with regard to the young man's suc
cess in New Orleans some being
willing to credit him for what he has
accomplished, while others assert that
the interest he has aroused is but a
passing fad that will die but as quick;
ly as it has sprung up.
"In a statement recently obtained
from a well-known physician of this
city, the position of those in favor of
Cooper is well voiced. The doctor
said: "I am not a believer in proprie
tary medicines, but I must admit that
some of the facts recently brought to
relieved several cases that were of
years' standing and proved very ob
stinate to treatment.
" 'I do not wish to stand in the way
of something that may be for the pub
lic good, simply through professional
prejudice, and I am inclined to give
Cooper and his preparations credit
as deserving to some extent the popu
lar demonstration that has been ac
corded them in this city.'
We sell the Cooper medicines. They
are proving remarkably successful
throughout the entire United States.

Plenty of Visitors '
County Judge C. J. Trenchard, for
the past two days, has been strictly in
his own pleasurable element In the
reception of citizens who have called
at Clatsop's new and magnificent
court house to scrutinize its manifold
attractions and conveniences; and he
is further pleased with the invariable
enconiums heaped upon it by all who
see it thoroughly. Without exception,
all visitors have plainly expressed
their pride and interest in the beauti
ful structure and are universally glad
that it is completed and paid for.
Special Deliveries Delayed
There was a good deal of complaint
made yesterday on the score of three
"special delivery" letters whi a were
mailed out of Portland on the 6
o'clock mail, and were stamped as re
ceived in the Astoria office at 10:30
o'clock p. m-, each bearing the regula
tion 10-cent stamp required hi that
behalf. All the addresses were acces
sible at that hour of th night, and all
were more or less discomfitted be
cause of the non-delivery. Messengers
were to be had for the calling, and it
is regarded as "a breach of the postal
service that failure was made in these
instances. The parties upon whom
