I money for his services and does not Ills headquarters at The Public Drug g j ve out any medicine himself, they 8tore la besieged with crowds of men bavc been powerless to interfere. 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. Cooper receives an enormous dull mall.

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.
