Mr. Hamilton attributes his recovery to the celebrated Cooper preparations which are now being demonstrated to the public in this city. In speaking of his experience Thursday, Mr. Ham ilton said: "Some., years ago I experienced trouble with' my stomach. At first I paid little attention to it, thinking it was only of a temporary character, and . that it would soon pass away. But it went from bad to worse and as I was traveling over the country at the time, eating here, there and everywhere, at any and all hours, the irregularity of my habits had a tendency to aggra vate my condition. "My digestive organs became im paired; there was a feeling of heavi ness after eating, accompanied by an accumulation of gas that was very oppressive and painful, causing my heart to palpitate like a trip hammer. Then my kidneys became affected and I experienced great pain in my back. To cap the climax, I suffered an attack of rheumatism, and from that time on I was in constant pain and never felt well. . ' "I consulted doctors in all of the larger cities, among them some of the most eminent men in the professloi, but their treatment did not help me. I also tried numerous remedies that were recommended by friends, but All to no purpose. I grew steadily worse, with no prospect in sight for relief. Then the Cooper preparations were brought to my attention, and I pro cured a treatment of Cooper's New Discovery. I was as much surprised as any one could be at its effect upon my system. , ". ' . "I make no exaggeration when "I say that this Cooper medicine' gave me the first relief I had been able to get. In a remarkably short time I began to reat easier and felt better' In every way. By the time the treatment was ex hausted I was ' entirely well. My rheumatism had disappeared and my stomach gave me' no trouble what ever. My friends can scarcely believe their eyes when they see me, and I myself can hardly realize that it is true. I am back in form again and ready for work. Cooper's New 'Dis covery is the most remarkable medi cine I ever heard of." ' Cooper's New Discovery is now on sale at leading druggists everywhere. It has made a wonderful record. If you cannot obtain it from your local druggist notify the Cooper Medicine company, Dayton, Ohio. The people are usually right.

It sometimes requires a higher de gree of heroism to break the chains of a pernicious habit tnan to lead a forlorn hope in a bloody battle. A lady writes from an Indiana town: "From my earliest childhood I was a lover of coffee. Before I was out of my teens I was a miserable dyspeptic, suffering terribly at times ith my stomach. "I was convinced that it was ycoffco that was causing the trouble and yet I could not deny myself a cup for breakfast. At the age of 36 I was ia very poor health, indeed. My sister told me I was in danger of becoming a coffee drunkard. "But I never could give up drinking coffee for breakfast, although it kept me constantly ill, until Itried Postum. I learned to make it properly accord- ing to directions, and now we can hardly do without Postum for break fast, and care nothing at all for cof , fee.
