Cooper is a quiet, gentlemtanly' persm, with the appearance of a stn dent, rather than a business man He is apparently a'out thirty-o or + two Vears of ago. lie firt came in to public notice by his philantihropic work atmong the poor. The large for tune he pofsses-es has made it posi ble for him to dit tribut many wag on lomds of food and clothing among those it ir digetm circumstances since he arrived in Chicago. The first that was known of Coop er's power over disease was when Mr. J 1hn Stauber. of 1607 Broaidway, Cincinnati, Ohio, who was in the city ,on business, declared that Cooper the philaithopi-t, was the same p-:r eon who saved his life last March af. ter he had been given up t' die by his physicians. Mr. Stauber state.d that last March the doctors hid told him that be would not live until May, -s he was in a terrible condition; ev ery one said he had cnslmption; he had a na!ty cough, with freqient hemorrhages, dizzy spellk and wis so we'ak that the least exet tion or ex -cile nent w mid completely pr.'st ria bm:; there were severe pains ill tho stomaich and back, and his kidneys were in baud condkiion. "After my pliyicians gave ma up,' said Mr. Stiub-r, '-Mr. Cooper heard of my ce and called to s30 me.

Webster said all his suffering bad left him as if b)y magic, and he felt li:e a new being. Tim rep)ort of these remarkable cures flew through town like wildfire, and the Public Drug Store where Ctoopor is making his h eadquarters, is beseigeil by people suffering with all manntier of "iinents. The physicians of the city are amatzed at the work he is doing, and ;iave tried to shake the wonderful in itc'etee lie has over the people, even going so far as to threaten prosecu tion, but, a lie doesR not accept any noney for hi services and does not give out ainy mediciie himself, they have been powerless to interfere. Cooper creat.ed considerable anuse mnit at the expense of the doe tors by askuing them why they did not write their prceript.ionls it E'lish s> their patients would know what they were taking. Since the interest has become sc wide spread that Cooper cannot meel the people personally, he is receiving an enot mous mail, and keeps a large force of stenographers employea an. swering it. In the meautime stories of marvelous cures continue t pour 1i. Mrs. 0. Fry, living at 182 Oai street, had suffered agony foi m mnths from rheumatism. In telling alout her c ise, she said: "1 have had rhmaittism fir ov.-r nine years It * has been getting Vworso every ye:ir until I have he. in alm-st a crip)le froi it fo te past tighteen mon tht.
