Cincinnati, O., May 10. The aston ishing siile of Cooper's preparations in tins ctiy lias now reached such immense figures I hat the mi'dieal fraternity ut large have become forc ed Into open discussion of the man and his preparations. ' The physicians as a whole seem to oe divided with regard to the vonnir man s success in uincinnati-some be ing willing to credit him for what he has accomplished, while others as sert that the interest he has aroused is but a pausing fad which cannot last, and which will die out as quick ly as ic nas sprung up. ine opinion tl tnese two factions is very well voiced in the statements marie recenMv hv two nf n. nnmhor nt physicians who were interviewed on the subject. i)T. J. K. liarass when Questioned about th matter said: "I have not been a believer in proprietary prepa rations heretofore nor can I say that I believe in them at present. But I must admit that some of the facts re cently brought to my notice concern ing this man Cooper have gone far towards removing the prejudice I had formed against him when the un heard of demand for the preparations first sprang lip in this city. Numbers of my patients whom I have treated for chronic liver, kidney and stom ach troubles have met me after ta li ng Cooper's remedy and have stated positively that he had accomplished wonderful results for them. 1 notice particularly In cases of stomach rouble tnat the man lias relieved several cases of year's standing that proved very obstinate in treatment." "I am the ItiBt man on earth to stand in the way of anything that may prove for the public good simply through professional prejudice, and I am inclined to give Cooper and his preparations credit as deserving to some extent the popular demonstra tion that has been accorded them in this city." Another well known physcian who was seen took the opposite view of the "Cooper-mania," as he called it, which now has this city in its grip. He said: "lean only liken the pres ent state of affairs to a certain kind of hallucination. For want of a bet ter name I might call it "(hooper- mania. The people of Cincinnati seem to bfc linn in the belief that this man Cooper has health corked up in a bottle." Some of them imagine that he has completely cured them of vari ous ills judging from their state ments. J t is beyond me to say why I he city has gone crazy over the man. ft may he safely put down, 1 think. to one of the passing fads that so of ten attack the American public." "Sooner or later toe people are bound to regain their senses and will then realize the reputable physician s the one to whom their health had bent be entrusted." In the meantime Cooper meets sev eral thousand people daily, and only smiles when statements of the above character are quoted to him. His charitable work still continues to be very extensive. .mmmmwmi.MmKamumm Fresh line of Lowney's and Block's Candies None better anywhere.

There was a goodly number of citi zens of town and county at the mass meeting held last, Monday in the in terests of a "Dry" campaign. Judge M. I. Coxe was selected as chairman of the meeting and H. . Merryday secretary. A general review of the situation filled the workers for this cause with encouragement, and they are deter mined to make a vigorous and sys tematic campaign Against the licen sed saloon. We believe that our people feel now that for business and for moral reasons this fight must be won, and if they feel it must be won. it will be. The mass meeting elected a com mittee of able, influential, deter mined citizens to press this matter to a successful issue. ' The following were selocted from town : Judge M. I. Coxe. Messrs. S. J.

Delegate's Report. Madam President and Ladies of the Patton Anderson Chapter: The 12th annual convention of the U. I). C. held in the beautiful and progressive City of Jacksonville was a grand success in every particular. Martha Reed Chanter certainly did herself proud on this occasion. We were so highly entertained and had so many various social functions to attend, that very little time was left to transact business; consequently, the last evening, which was Histori cal evening, after listenine- to a lengthy program, we had to then proceed to business; and before de parting from the auditorium of the Windsor hotel, believe me. larliea. when I say it was two o'clock in the morning. T was invited by Mrs. Bishop Weed to take luncheon with her the next day, an invitation which I accepted in the early part of the evening; but when I had re mained up until two o'clock in the morning, I simply had to decline the invitation on the nlea that I didn't know whether I would be able to wake up the next day, at all, after having led such a strenuous life for the past week. No doubt, you have all read a full account of what was done, and the program of entertainment, so it would be useless for me to mention same. The Taliaferro reception, also the reception tendered us by the Wo man's Club, aB well as the Elks lun cheon, was grand and lovely beyond description. You may rest assured, your youthful delegate enjoyed them all to the fullest extent. But noth ing, ladies, appealed to my better na ture moie than the tea so beautifully arranged at the Old Soldier's Home, where I had the pleasure of seeing for the first time, the famous Patton Anderson Room, furnished, so com fortably by our own chapter. And I wish to state right here, that it is the only chapter that has furnished a room thus far, and I didn't lose an opportunity to inform the people of the fact, for which all honor is due our most able, indefatigable worker, and beloved President, Mrs. Patton Anderson. To look upon those dear old soldiers who fought so bravely through the war, attired in their new uniforms of grey, especially for this occasion, and to see the tears roll down their forrowed cheek as the va rious little girls recited in a charm ing and touching manner, beautiful and appropriate poems for the occa sion, sent a thrill through my entire being that I never before' expe rienced. Madam President, and Ladies. I return from the convention a more enthusiastic worker for the U. D. C, and especially for the "Patton An derson Chapter," than ever before. The only thing that marred my pleasure, in the least, during the con vention, was the absence of my sis ter delegates, Mrs. Coxe, Mrs. Wil lard, and last, but not least, our most highly esteemed and distin guished President, Mrs. Patton An derson.
