STILL ANOTHER LARGE PARASITE
Brought Tape Worm to
Cooper Offices Saturday
Well Known Physician
Comments on Cases That Are Coming to Light
Demonstrations of Remedy
at Dows Drug Stores.
Probably the most remarkable feature of the peculiar power of Dr. Cooper's New Discovery, the wonderful medicine which is being introduced here by L. T. Cooper, the famous advertiser, and which is arousing interest in medical circles throughout the city, is the fact that the remedy drives from the human system all parasites of any description.
About 4 o'clock Saturday Mr. Otto Dunkman, living at 819 Charlotte street, called at the Cooper offices and brought with him in a tin bucket an enormous tapeworm, 34 feet long, which had been driven from his system by the New Discovery medicine a few hours before. He explained in the presence of over one hundred people who were waiting to see the advertiser that he had for a number of years been suffering from what he supposed to be stomach trouble and had purchased a bottle of the remedy to relieve him of his ailment, if possible. He had taken it only a few days when the great parasite was driven from his system. After his interview with Mr. Cooper, Mr. Dunkman said: "If anyone had told me that I had that think inside of me yesterday I would have thought they were crazy. I felt badly for a year, and never knew what the matter with me was. I wasn't very sick—just felt tired and dull all the time, and didn't seem to have any energy. I was nervous and easily depressed, and did not sleep very well, and would feel as tired in the morning as when I went to bed. I had a very irregular appetite and could only stand a short time without having a pain in the lower part of the back. I bought a bottle of Cooper's New Discovery and took it three days. This morning the tapeworm passed from my system. I know now what has made me feel so dull all these years."
Cases of this nature are of frequent occurrence. Hardly a day passes in which one or more people do not call at the Cooper offices, bringing with them enormous parasites of the same nature as that brought by Mr. Dunkman. In almost every case these people have suffered for years from a general run-down condition, and have had no knowledge of what was the cause of their trouble. Necessarily only a few of the people who have experiences of this character come to the office, and, judging therefore in proportion, the amount of suffering which must be due to troubles of this nature is unbelievable. It has remained for Cooper and his unusual remedy to bring it to light.
A well-known physician in Cincinnati, in speaking of the matter, said, "I have been very much interested in what reports I have been able to gather of the results accomplished by this new remedy which has been introduced here, I was at first skeptical, but am at last forced to believe that this formula must be of great medicinal value. I am especially interested in its power to remove parasites from the human system, and am astcaished (sic) at the frequency with which the medicine performs this function. I must admit that I am at a loss to even hazard a guess as to the properties contained in the remedy which produces these results, as I would never have believed it, had it not been proven that diseases of this nature were so prevalent, and I am at a complete loss to determine the nature of the remedy. I will frankly admit since these remarkable demonstrations have taken place that a number of people who have come to me in the past suffering with what I believed to be stomach trouble may have been unfortunate enough to have been preyed upon by internal parasites."
The Cooper remedies are now on sale at Dow's drug stores, as the demand for them has increased so enormously that the company is no longer able to supply it. At three of the down-town stores—at Seventh and Race, Sixth and Walnut, and on Vine street, between Fourth and Fifth—will be stationed demonstrators who will explain the nature of the remedies and give information to all calling. Mr. Cooper and his company will be in the city one week longer. The final entertainment and lecture will take place next Saturday night. It is believed by many that the sale of the remedies at Dow's stores during the ensuing week will equal the enormous amount of medicine that has been disposed of at the offices and the platform.
