San Franciscan Helps Bear Out
New Theory by His
•i '" Statement .
Among statements made recently by
San Francisco residents concerning the
much . discussed 'preparation now being
introduced in this city by L. T. Cooper,
is the .following from Sidney M. Clark,
living 'at .723 Andover avenue.
Mr. Clark '> lias been a sufferer from
rheumatism and had occasion to try
the Cooper-, treatment recently. He
said: "Some time ago I read several
articles about ' this man Cooper, and in
one of these articles he claimed stom
ach' trouble was responsible for most
ill health. He went, on, to say tliat.his
medicine, though only -a stomach rem
edy,' had proved .effective for many
other diseases. He argued from this
that the stomach was the main cause
of sickness and stated that the suc
cess he was 'having in; San Francisco
was" largely duo to this fact.
'"I-.am now! fully convinced this:the
ory is correct and believe Cooper has a
remarkable preparation, judging from
my experience. — ' .
"At the time-I speak of I 'had been
afilicted with stomach trouble and
rheumatism for four years, despite the
services of several: physicians. I .had
not improved' in'.the 'slightest and made
up my mind to try /Cooper's -^prepara
tion. I was much. ..improved .a week
after starting in' on it and a week or'
so later' w o as entirely well. :
"I am not fond; of publicity, but am
willing to tell San Francisco people
what this man's did. for. me."
\u25a0 While" speaking ; of ...rheumatism
Siinday afternoon Cooper said: "For a
lon,g time: I accepted the well worn
statement that rheumatism ,is caused
by acid in the blood. Qf- late "years- 1
haye o %beguri to doubt, this. I am in
clined, to th^nk that a germ is respon
sible for most, cases of; rheumatism. I
will admit that if the blood is pure and
rich this germ" can not exist, but .1
have;,lost all faith in this acid theory.
."My medicine, as I have stated be
fore, does absolutely nothing but .regu
late the stomach'and bowels, yet a
great many.people can now 'testify that
it has • removed all : traces of their
rheumatism. I believe the stomach
regulates the condition of the blood. If
the stomach is ins good condition the
Wood'becomes pure; and wholesome and
rheumatism disappears, because '.the
germs that cause it 'are destroyed by
the red corpuscles of the blood. This
is, of course,' only a' theory of mine.
I do not say that it is absolutely cor r
rect, but I feel confident it is nearer
t^he 1 truth than the acidity idea. I shall
continue to' meet tKe: public at th© Owl
Drug Company's store, in the Phelan
building,' as long as I remain in San
:Francisco." *
