and women eager to be cured of their
Ills.
Cooper Is a quiet gentlemanly per
son, with the appearance or a student,
rather than n business man. He Is
apparently about thirty-one or two
years of age. lie first came Into
public notice by Ills philanthropic
work among the poor. The large
fortune he possesses has made it
possible for him to distribute many
wagon loads of food and clothing u-
mong those In indigent circumstances
since his arrival In Chicago.
The first that was known of Coop
er's power over disease was when
Mr. John 8tauber, of 1007 Broadway,
Cincinnati, Ohio, who was in this
city on business, declared that Coop
er, the philanthropist, was the same
person who saved his life lost March,
after he had bt*m given up to die by
his physicians. Mr. Stauber stated
that last March the doctors had told
him he would not live until May,
ns he was In a terrible condition; ev
ery one said ho had consumption; he
had a nasty cough, with troqueut
Jieuiorrhages, dizzy spells, and was
so weak that the least exertion or
excitement would completely prostrate
him; there wore severe pains in the
stomach and hack, and his kidneys
were in had oondit.on.
‘/Her my physicians gave me up,"
Mr. Stauber, "Mr. Cooper heard
of my case and called to see me.
Ho left a peculiar medicine which 1
began taking and 1 Immediately be
gan to Improve. My cough stopped,
my stomach no longer distressed me,
and my kidneys were in perfect con
dition. 1 gained seventeen pounds in
Beven weeks, and today l am as well
as I ever was in my life."
A few days after this Mr. H. L.
Sldwell, a Justice of the peace living
at 3322 Deaborn street, reported that
Cooper lmd cured him of a
case of stomach trouble yvith a few
doses of his peculiar medicine.
Ills trouble had boon of long stand
ing ami ho had tried many different
doctors and medicines without relief.
From the first dose of Cooper’s medt
cine he began to improve, and is to
day In apparently perfect health.
This was followed by the still more
remarkable cure of Mr. Thomas Web
ster, employed at tin* Omaha Parking
Company, a»d living nt. 5210 South
Morgan street. Mr. Webst- r had suf
fered foi* years with pain la his
Stomagh .dizziness, palpitation of heart,
backache, and all other troubles. Ho
came to Cooper's headquarters uml
displayed an enormous tapeworm,
which lie said had passed from his
system after ho had taken a few
doses of the Cooper medicine. Mr.
Webster said all his suffering hud
left him as If by magic, and lie felt
like a new being.
The report of these remarkable
cures flew through the city like wild
fire, and the Public Drug Store,where]
Cooper Is making his hondquarters,
Is besieged by people suffering from
ull manner of aliments.
Qooper created considerable amuse
ment at the expense of the doctors
by asking them why they did not
write their prescriptions In English so
their patients would know what they
were taking.
Since the Interest has become
widespread that Cooper cannot meet
the people personally, he is receiving
an enormous mail, and keeps a large
forco of stenographers employed
answering It. In the meantime stor-
ios of marvelous cures continue to
pour in.
Mrs. G. Fry, living nt 182 Oak
street, had suffered agony for months
from rheumatism. In telling about her
cose, she said:
have had rheumatism for over
nine years. It has been getting
worBe every year until I have been
almost a cripple from It for the past
eighteen months. I have been un
able to write for over three years,
the knuckles of my hands were
swollen I could not close my flngc
nough to write. Every joint in my
body was 111 the same shape, swollen
and intensely painful. The suffering
has been too great to describe. I hav
seen a doctor every week for ten
months and have tried in every way
to get well.
"Last week 1 came here and bought
some of the Cooper medicines,
told to come back In case I did not
Improve. I have come buck anyway,
just to express my thankfulness.
"You see my hands. The swelling
has ulmoRt gone. So has the pain,
If you will lend me u pencil I will
show you that 1 can write.” Mrs.
Fry here took the pencil and used it
readily. "I told a neighbor who has
rheumatism, about it, and she Huld
‘maybe It Isn’t the medicine, maybe
It’s something else.' 1 told her that
until I knew what the something else
was 1 should keep on taking the
medicine and I advised her to do
likewise."
Cooper claims to have received the
formulas of the medicines he Is us
ing from an aged priest in a sleepy
Spanish town in Old Mexico. The
Mexicans believed that holy water or
»ome supernatural element entered In
to their composition.

An old soldier writes about
ARIOSA Coffee: “Your coffee
is the best and richest coffee 1 ever
drank since f left the service, from
’61 until 1 received your coffee
yesterday." A soldier knows coffee
by the taste, and the way it makes him
feel, and would sooner go without
his bread than without his coffee.
Arbuckles' ARIOSA was the first
roasted, packaged coffee, packaged for
°f consumers, roasted
and the pores of each berry scaled with
a coating of fresh eggs and pure sugar,
to hold the goodness in and make the
coffee settle dear and quickly. Better
than “fresh roast” Warming a
little develops the flavor and makes the
grinding easy. Our enoimous coffee
business, exceeding the next four largest
firms in the world together, reduce, our
average cost per pound, and enables us
to give you better coffee for your
money than you can buy in any other
way. There are more packages of
ARIOSA sold in the United States
than all the other Coffee packages
combined.
