T. Cooper Tells CI He Accomplis! 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 gave the following reason for the remarkable demand for his medicine to & reporter: Mr. Cooper said: "My New Discovery is successful because it corrects the stomach. My theory Is that few can be sick If the digestive apparatus is working properly. It naturally 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-dava have half-sick stomachs. Put the stomach in shape, and nature does the rest The result Is general good health. My medicine does this. That is why fifty thousand people here in Chicago are using it who never heard of me until a month ago." Among the fifty thousand mentioned by Mr. Cooper who used his medicine in Chicago is Mrs. Hilda Pflueger, living at 1203 Ainslie Avenue. This is the statement she makes concerning her experience with the medicine: "I tare fceea sick for six years with rhe State of South Carolina, ABBEVILLE COUNTY.

I was always htm' gry, 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 restless; I was also very nervous, and would have severe headaches. I was constipated, and always felt bloated alter eating. "I had tried many remedies, but could secure no relief, until one day I noticed in the newspapers what wonderful results Cooper's medicines were accomplishing In Chicago. I decided 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 Improved, and I can now eat well. I am feeling like a new woman. 1 am very uianKiui 10 Mr. uooper for what his remedies have done for me.
