Old Soldier Makes' Strong Statement doctors and other remedies which I used. For twenty years I took more or lees medicine of various kinds, with little benefit. I was^finally induced to try Coop-/ er's .New Discovery, and it has made me sound and well.* There is not a sign of liver nor stomach trouble left, and I feel wonderfully strengthened and invigorated. All the vital organs, the blood and nervous system, the recupera tive forces, are supported by the stomach, which is therefore the con-, servator of life and health. When the stomach has been abused, all sorts of disorders ensue, maladies of most kinds being due* to derange ment of its functions. Indigestion and dyspepsia are the most common results. The liver becomes inactive, creating billiousness and worse; the bowels become constipated, and their failure to oust the fecal matter poisons the entire system. The kid neys alsjo pay the penalty of this neglect,' suffering and disease soon gain control. If your health is not all it should be, get a treatment of Cooper's New Discovery at once. Don't de lay; the ??rms of disease work all the time. We are agents for the Cooper medicines.-(Penn & Hol stein.) .Tohn Lynch, is an inmate of the Soldier's Home at Monte Vista, Colo. In a recent communication, which he desires to be given the widest possible publicity, he says: Cooper's New Discovery medi cine was a Godsend to rae, and I am recommending it to my old com rades in home here. I had stomach and liver trouble for years. My sleep was so broken that I never gota good night's rest. My entire system became affected. I felt weak and tired all the time, and was declining rapidly in spite of treatment by Never Out of Work. The busiest little things evef made are Dr. King's New Life Pills. Every pill is a sugar-coated globule of health, that changes weakness into strength, languor into energy, brain fag into mental pow er; curing constipation, headache, chills, dyspepsia, malaria.
