PHYSICIANS DISCUSS NEW THEORY Cooper’s Views of Human St by Medical Men. A recent article in the New Orleans, Item gives an account of the effect upon the medical profession of that city with regard to L. 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 medi cal traternity have been forced into open discussion of the man’s theories and medicines. “The physicians seem to be divided with regard to the young man’s suc cess in New Orleans—some being will ing 10 credit him for what he has ac complished, while others assert that the interest he has aroused is but a passing fad that will die out as quickly 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 proprietary ' '"es. but I must admit that some of the facts recently brought to my attention concerning this Cooper medi cine have gone far toward removing 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 ac complished wonderful results for them. I notice particularly In cases of stomach trouble that the man has relieved several cases that were of years’ standing and proved very ob stinate to treatment “ T 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 givo Cooper and his preparations credit as deserving to some extent the popular demonstration that has been accorded them in this city.' ” We sell the Cooper medicines.

Wilkinsvllle, Jan. 25.—It’s our sad, sad duty today to announce the death of Mrs. Alice Goforth Lee, wife of Sam A. l>ee, which took place at her home last Thursday evening about sunset after three days of painful Ill ness. She leaves a husband, five small children (one of whom Is a new born babe), a father, mother, several brothers and sisters, together with a host of relatives and friends to mourn her untimely death. She was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. F. A. Go forth. and was as fine a specimen of physical womanhood as could be found in this country. She was a faithful, dutiful, loving wife and mother. She was a member of the Methodist church from he r early youth. She will he buried at Mesopotamia today. Rev. T. B. Owens will conduct the funeral exercises. Our heartfelt sym pathies are with her bereaved family in their sore trial. But Rt our sorrows cease to flow; God has recalled His own; And let our hearts in every woe, Still say, “Thy will be done. If there is anything in the world we admire more than a truly brave man, it is a brave woman. Such a one is Mrs. John Henry Fowler. When the news reached her over the ‘phone Thursday night that Mrs. Alice Lee was dead this brave little woman (herself an invalid) faced the icy winds then blowing a perfect gale a lid went to give all the help and comfort she could to the distressed family. She remained with them all night, even endangering the exposure. Such acts of heroism and self sacri fice are too noble to let them pass unnoticed and we would be an In groat not to speab of it in the ost eulogistic and unmistakable erms. “Greater love hath no man than (his. that a man lay down his life for his friends.” (St. John 15:13.) Mr. W. C. Kirby’s house caught fire last Thursday while the) wind was high and had it not been that he was near by. it would doubtless have been totally destroyed with all its con torts. From what we learn the wind must have blown in at a window and the flames caught some curtains from which it spread to other combustible substances till it finally reached the ceiling. Fortunately he procured water and with the help of some hands on his place, soon got the flames unde r control and saved the building. It was, to say the least, a narrow escape. Quite a large crowd attended the sale of i)r. L. R. Black’s property last Thursday. Mrs. Brewington is sick, we are j sorrv to state. She is one of The; feeling well for a few days and haa but little local news for his readers today. We have had a few days of sunshine and the roads are much improved for traveling purposes, so far as mud ia concerned. In many places they are washed terribly. The quarterly conference of the M. E. church is now being held at Wil son’s Chapel. The pastor, Rev. T. B. Owens will be called to conduct the funeral services of Mrs. Alice Lee to day at Mesopotamia. J. L. S. 1© Draytonviile Dot».
