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. They
are proving remarkably successful
throughout the entire .United States.

WILKIN8VILLE LETTER.
Local and Personal News fro m Lower
Cherokee.
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.
