Followers of Cooper and His Novel Ideas Give
Reason for Their Belief in Him
With a theory that human health is
dependent on the stomach and with a
medicine which he says proves this
theory L T Cooper a comparatively
young man has built up an immense
following during the past year
Cooper has visited most of the lead
ing cities of the country and in each
city has aroused a storm of discussion
about his beliefs and his medicines
Wherever he has gone people have
called upon him by tens of thousands
and his preparation has sold in im
mense quantities
The sale of this medicine has now
spread over the entire country and is
growing enormously each day In view
of this the following statements from
two of the great number of followers
which he now has are of general in
terest
Mrs Agnes Viggenhouser of 942 St
Iouis Avenue Chicago has the follow
ing to say on the subject of the Cooper
preparations For more than ten
years I was broen down in health I
ould not sleep and I was Tery ner
vous Gradually I began to lose my
memory until I could not remember
things from one day to another I had
severe pains and cramps in my body
and I would at times see dark spots
Irefore my eyes I was unable to do
any work whatever as my strength
-was failing I had no appetite nor
could I take any medicine
1 had about given up hope of ever
fceing well again when I read of Mr
Coopers remedies I decided to give
them a trial and I began to feel better
at once After taking the medicine for
two weeks I can say that I am a new
woman I can eat with enjoyment the
pains in my body have left me and I
am stronger than I have been for
years
I cannot say enough for Mr
Coopers remedies They are wonder
ful for they have done everything
claimed for them in my case
Another statement by Mr W B
Stewart 100 W Madison St Chicago
is as follows t I have had stomach
trouble for years and anyone who is
afflicted this way knows what an awful
distressed feeling it causes Many a
time I have felt that I would give most
any price to be cured It was by ac
cident that I heard of this man
Coopers remedies I immediately
made up my mind to buy a treatment
of him I used it for about two weeks
and it is impossible to tell how much
good it has done me I feel altogether
different I have more life and energy
than I have had for years This med
icine certainly does stimulate and
strengthen the whole system Tired
feeling and weak condition of the
stomach has entirely passed away I
feel well again
We sell Coopers celebrated medi
cines which have made this wonderful
record in all parts of the country

BLIND MANS BUFF
This Common Game Is of Great
An-
tiquity and French Origin
Blind mans buff Is of French origin
and of ery great antiquity having
been Introduced into England in the
train of the Norman conquerors Its
French name Colin Malllard was
that of a brave warrior the memory
of whose exploits still lives In the
chronicles of the middle ages
In the year 999 Liege reckoned
among its valiant chiefs one Jean Co
lin He acquired the name Malllard
from his chosen weapon being a mal
let wherewith in battle he used liter
ally to crush his opponents
In oue of the feuds which were of
perpetual recurrence In those times he
encountered the Count de Touraine in
a pitched battle and so runs the story
in the first onset Colin Malllard lost
both his eyes
He ordered his esquire to take him
in the thickest of the fight and furi
ously brandishing his mallet did such
fearful execution that victory soon de
clared itself for him
When Robert of France heard of
these feats of arms he lavished favor
and honors upon Colin and so great
was the fame of the exploit that it was
commemorated in the pantomimic rep
resentation that formed part of the
rude dramatic performance of the age
By degrees the children learned to act
it for themselves and it took the form
of a familiar sport
The blindfolded pursuer as with
bandaged eyes and extended hands he
gropes for a victim to pounce upon in
some degree repeats the action of Co
lin Malllard the tradition of which is
also traceable in the name blind
mans buff London M A P
HER ECONOMY
She Wasnt Ashamed of It but Didnt
Like It Advertised
Of course said the pretty school
teacher who had just returned from
her long vacation trip to Europe of
course foreign labels slapped all over
a suit case may give It an interesting
look and they certainly indicate that
one has been abroad but I dout feel
very proud of the record pasted on my
bag The trouble with it is that I had
to economize frightfully while I was
In Europe in order to have the trip
at all and I had to stop at the very
cheapest hotels I could find It seemed i
as if those Europeans were determined I
to conduct a large advertising cam
paign through the medium of my suit s
case for I couldnt escape their labels
I tried in every possible way to
prevent the porters from getting hold
of my luggage long enough to take it
jout from under my eyes but they
would grab it up run away with it
to some secret place and come back
proudly displaying another huge label
stuck to it In every case I noticed
with additional pain that the cheaper
the hotel was the larger the label it
used It happens that I have a few
really swell acquaintances in New
York who know Europe like a book
ana tneyn raue n air in at a giance
Of course Im not ashamed of having
economized yet I dout exactly care
to flaunt my poverty I only wish the
foreign hotels would allow us a choice
in the matter New York Tress
