Henry, a prominent farmer liv ing on Rural Route No. 5, Jonesboro, Ark., in a statement given for publication, tells a story that makes interesting read ing for persons who suffer from stomach trouble. Mr. Henry says: t "For six years I was a chronic sufferer from stomach trouble. In all that time I did not eat a meal to enjoy It. No mat ter what I ate, it caused pain and dla trees. Food laid in a hard lump upon my stomach. I lost In fletth and strength, and was unable to find relief. I suffered night and day was robbed of my sleep and rebt, and arose In the morning as tired aa when I went to bed. I waa com pletely run down, and derived no benefit from any medicine I took. One day, while in town, my druggist recon.mended Cooper'a New Discovery. I had noticed several articles In the news papers regarding thla man Cooper's work in the larger cities, and decided to give hla medicine a trial. It'a effect surprised me. Before I had taken all of the first bottle 1 felt wonderfully Improved. The pain and distress had left me, my appe tite was good, my bowels were movlnj regularly and naturally, and I began to sleep aoundly at night. I continued the treatment, taking sever al more bottles, and In six weeks' time I felt like a new man, fully restored to health and strength. I gained fifteen pounds while taking the Cooper medicine. I cannot say enough In praise of Cooper a New Discovery it brought new life to me." The theory of L. T. Cooper la baaed upon common sense reasoning. When asked recently why his medicine Is so auccesaful, he replied: "My New Dla covery la successful because it correcta the stomach. My theory la that few can be sick If the digestive apparatus la work ing properly. It naturally follows that few can be well with a poor digestion. I know from experience that most of the tired, half-stck people that are ao com mon now-a-daya have half-sick stomachs. Put the stomach In shape and nature does the rest. The result la general good health. My medicine doea thla." Cooper'a New Discovery la a boon to stomach aufferera. It la sold by all drug gists everywhere.
