REMARKABLE REG!
MADE IN NORTHWEST
Young Man with New Theory Is Astonish
ingly Successful in Minneapolis.
The remarkable success that has at
tended L. T. Cooper during the past
year has not been confined to any one
locality, but is so widespread that the
young man is now a well-known figure
in most of the leading cities of the
country.
Mr. Cooper believes that the stom
ach is the foundation for most ill
health, and claims that his prepara
tion, by regulating the stomach, is a
true specific for most diseases. The
following extract from the Tribune of
Minneapolis gives an idea of the sur
prising number of people who are ac
cepting Cooper’s theory. The article
■was one of many that appeared during
Cooper’s stay in Minneapolis, and is as
follows:
“The sale of Cooper’s preparation
is now phenomenal in this city, and
an estimate made today seems to indi
cate beyond all doubt that it will equal
til© large figures reported from Pitts-.
burs during the thirty aays Mr. Coop*
er spent in that city.
“During the rast twenty-two days
Mr. Cooper has been in Minneapolis,
the sale of his preparation has aver
aged about two thousand bottles a day.
When the amount of medicine disposed
of throughout the state is added to
thi3, the amount will be doubled.
Therefore, the young man has sold in
twenty-two days eighty-eight thousand
bottles of his medicine in the state of
Minnesota alone, which is a truly re
markable record.
“During the past week so many hun
dreds of Minneapolis people have been
calling to thank Cooper for the good
he has accomplished with his medi
cine, that it is safe to say that his
visit will long be remembered by tho
sick of the city.”
We sell the famous Cooper prepara
tion which has made a similar record
to the above wherever introduced.
