When Interviewed about his theory re cently, he said: “Stomach trouble Is the great curse of the 20th century so far as the civilised races are con- PractlcaHy all of the chronic 111 health of this generation is caused by abnormal stomachic conditions. In earlier days, when the human race was closer to nature, and men and women worked all day out of doors, digging their frugal existence from the soil, the tired, droopy, half-sick people that r ,®n?°T 80 common . did not exist. To J> e Bure , there was sickness In those days, but It was of a virulent character, and only temporary. There was none of this half-sick condition with which so many are afflicted nowadays. “I know positively that every bit of this chronic ill health Is caused by stomach trouble. The human stomach In civilized people today is degenerate. It lacks tone and strength. This weak ness has gradually come through a sedentary existence. I further know that few people can be sick with the digestive apparatus in perfect shape. The sole reason for my success Is be- rru I 1— V wecK.3 Lime. That Is why I have had more people come and thank me wherever I have gone to Introduce my medicine, than I have had time to talk with.- 1 ’ Among the Immense numbers of peo- plo who are now strong believers In Cooper’s theory and medicine is Mw. M. E. Delano, a prominent resident of the suburb of Brookline, Boston, Mass. She says: "For several years I was broken in health, caused primarily by stomach and nerve troubles. I gradu ally became worse, until recently I was compelled to go without solid food for dayB at a time. I had sour stomach, palpitation of the nerves of stomach and heart, dyspepsia, and extreme ner vousness. 1 Buffered terribly with in somnia, and my liver, bowels and whole system gradually became de ranged. I felt Instant relief the first day I began this Cooper medicine. I now feel like a new being. Today I walked all over town, shopping— something I have not done for years. “I make this statement wholly from a sense of duty. I feel I owe it to anyone who might find relief and renewed happiness ns I have done." The record made by the Cooper med icines Is astonishing. We will take Pleasure In discussing it with anyone who wishes to know about thorn. —E. Bradford. That Fearful and Mystic Visita tion of Olden Days.

Sometimes I would be unconscious for 12 hours at a stretch. I did not know that anything could stop the pain entirely, but Wine of Cardui did. I advise all women suffering with painful periods to use Car dui and be relieved.” It does this by regulating the functions and toning up all the Internal female organs to health.

Special Attention to Boarding Horses The plague or pestilence, that myste rlous and fearful visitation which hut moved its hosts in the wake of armies to slay more than war itself, Is sup posed to have first originated among the dense masses of people wii cd together In the great cities of Asia and Egypt or who formed the encamp meats of Xerxes, Cyrus and Tamer lane the Tartar. It probably sprang from the impurity which must have existed In the midst of such vast gath erings and in part also from leaving the unburled dead upon the field of battle. At any rate, the germs of this fearful human poison have alway been most active where conditions Rlmllar to those have prevailed has always been war and the march of armies that have spread It broadcast over the world from time to time, and as war became less frequent and less worldwide the frequency and extent of these ravages have lessened also. The first recorded outbreak of the plague In Europe occurred In the six teenth century. It came from lower Egypt. This was the first lapping of the wave that reached Into the east again, there to stay Its movements, so far as the west was concerned, until n-14 A. I>., when the returning legions of the Emperor Justinian brought It again into the western world from the battlefields of Persia. Constantinople was the first place It attacked. Here In n single day as many ns 10.000 per sons are said to have fallen victims to it. But the plague did not stop with Constantinople. It hnd found a too congenial soil In Europe, which was little else than one great battlefield at the time. It was carried into Gaul, where It followed clos* In the wako of the Frankish armies, and from Gaul it moved Into Italy, with the Lom bards, and so devastated the country as to leave it entirely at the mercy of the Invaders. The various crusades, which extend ed over a space of about 200 years, no doubt did much to hold the pestilence In Europe, for they terved to keep open the channels of Intercourse be tween the east and the west. Periodic epidemics were common during their continuance, nnd these seem to have culminated In the fourteenth century with what Is known In'history as the black death. The black death was more fatal to human life than any other single cause since the world be gan. The havoc of war was nothing In comparison to it. It swept the whole of Europe, leavlfag In Its path such misery and destitution as the world had never known. It killed in three years some 25,000,000 people. Such figures stagger .the comprehen sion, but the records of the time can not be doubted. The entire population of Europe is estimated to have been about 100,000,000, kept down us it was by the constant warfare, and of these at least a fourth perished. The ravages of the plague in Italy, here it came in the track of the war of the Uuelphs and Ghibellines, particularly disastrous to mankind. ... raged with terrible fury in Naples, where 00,000 'persons are said to hav died. It fell upon Pisa, and seven out of every ten perished. It utterly nnd forever destroyed the prosperity of Siena. Florence also suffered severely, while 100,000 of the inhabitants of Venice were literally wiped off the face of the earth. From Italy It moved info France, where the mortality was almost ns great. In Paris alone 50,000 people died from it. One of the worst features presented by tiie history of the black death was the cruel persecu tion It aroused against the Jews. They were supposed to have Infected the air In some mysterious manner, and they were accused of having poisoned the wells and springs. In Strassburg 2,000 of them were burled alive In their own burial ground. The o‘Mer of the Flagellauto arose at this time, coming from the belief that the sins of the world’had at last brought down the wrath ‘bf heaven. It was the beginning of the so called hundred years' war that carried the black death into England, where in London its victims numbered 100,000. When at last the plague had worked its ravages it doubled back over its course to disappear In the east. Later on It appeared agalu in England, first among the soldiers of Richmond after the battle of Boswortb Field, •nd when the victorious army marched to London the plague went with them to work Its havoc there. As long as it lasted the mortality was as great as that caused by the black death half a century before. Five thousand people died in five weeks, and then the plague left London as suddenly as it hud ap peared there to sweep over the rest of England. In Scotland the plague of 1508 came Immediately after the battle of Lang- slde, when Queen Mary was dethron ed, but no records of the mortality it occasioned seem to have been pre served. The plague visited London In 1075. This followed after the civil war which ended with the death of Charles II., but so many years Intervened that It Is impossible to trace any connection between the two events. In modern wars danger from the plague seems gradually to have lessened perhaps as a result of better sanitary conditions I maintained by the armies of today ■EMcm **Phmuas 'Bright' and Joh^s^n conducted a very Impressive sorvlce at New Home church last Sun day.
