I have had the same experience for the past two years wherever I have gone. The reason is a simple one. It is because my medi cine puts the stomach in good condi tion. This does not sound unusual, but it is In fact the key to health. The stomach is the very foundation of iife. I attribute 90 per cent, of all sickness directly to the stomach. “Neither rnimals nor men can re main well with a poor digestive appa ratus. Few can be sick with a diges tion in perfect condition. As a matter of fact, most men and women today are half-sick. It is because too much food and too little exercise have grad ually forced the stomach into a half- c ick condition. My medicine gets the stomach back where it was, and that is all that Is necessary.” Among Boston people who are staunch believers In Mr. Cooper’s theory, is Mr, Frank D, Brown, u£ 57 and dyspepsia, spending nearly all my wages with doctrvra and obtaining no results. 1 hod dull pains across my ba< k, radiating to the shoulders.

My appetite was variable—raven ous at times, then again nauseated at the sight of food. Sometimes my face was pale, at other times flushed. I was constipated and bilious, and had catarrhal affection in nose and throat, which caused me to hawk and spit a great deal, especially in the morning. I heard so much of the Cooper reme dies that I decided to try them. After taking one bottle, a tapeworm 50 feet long passed from my system. I felt better almost immediately. All my troubles disappeared as if by magic, and my improvement was rapid. I now feel entirely well, and can honest ly recommend Mr. Cooper’s medicine to anyone who suffers as I did.” We sell the Cooper medicines which give universal saUsfaaioo, —Gaffney Drug Co. | frequent repetition in quotations of nPXt y Par - the phrase "financial kings,’ used by l<1 ' 00 us. \V“ used the phrase legitimately, uot iti a demagogic sense, or for the purpose of making t j m partakes of a demagogic attempt to arouse unreasonable and unjust prej udice. we therefore disclaim tiny in tention of using this phrase with any stick purpose.

Everything fresh ami asserted that the gamblers of the ex- >w and at roch bottom prices changes have been running the situ- 1 ation just as they would; but we would not have the cotton producers to understand that the gamblers of the exchanges are the only obstacles in the way of their full share of legit imate profits. The proposition is far too big for anything like that. The whole civilized world is interested in the price of cotton, and it is inter ested almost as directly an das vitally as is the Southern cotton producer. The cotton crop of the South brought close to $760.000,o00 last year. This is an amount equal to about 4 per cent, of all the basic money of the earth. It came from all over the world, and when we consider that the cotton belt of the South includes less than a twentieth of the more thickly populated portion of the earth and that last year’s crop brought $150,000.0011 more than the crop of the year before and nearly twice as much as the crop of three years prev ious, we can gather some idea of the significance of the figures. Fifteen cents cotton means about $950,000,- 000 for this year's crop, and that means that the money of the world will pour into the lap of the South so rapidly as uot only to make this sec tion immensely rich in a very short time; but to make all the balance of the world correspondingly poorer, and here is the keynote to the situ ation. If the South could grow im mensely rich without affecting the balance of the world, the balance of the world probably would not offer very serious objection; but since the South’s prosperity must neceszarily levy tribute on the balance of the worljj, it is easy to see that the thing the Southern people desire, no mat ter how justly it is theirs, necessa- gan.
