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. Charles Rogers & Son, the leading Druggists. Plenty of Visitors ' County Judge C. J.
