Indigestion

Stomach trouble is but symptom of. and not in itself true disease. We think of Dyspepsia. Heartburn, and Indigestion as real diseases. yet they are symptoms only of a certain specific Nerve sickness-nothing else.
 It was this fact that first correctly led Dr. Shoop in the creation of that now very popular Stomach Remedy-Dr. Shoop's Restorative. Going direct to the stomach nerves. alone brought that success and favor to Dr. Shoop and his Restorative. With out that original and highly vital principle. no such lasting accomplishments were ever to be had.
 For stomach distress. bloating, biliousness. bad breath and sallow complexion. try Dr. Shoop's Restorative-Tabletso or Liquid-and see for your self what it and will do. We sell and cheer fully recommend

a SUPREME TEST.

No man was ever put to a greater
test than was George D. Perkins in the
days of prohibition. He then owned
and edited political newspaper in a
community overwhelmingly opposed
to prohibition. His party was COM
mitted to prohibition and how could he
escape? How could he be loyal to his
party and continue to publish his daily
paper in that community? He found
a way, the manly way. He dealt fair
ly with the public and took an honor
able position in support of the law.
When Rev. George C. Haddock was
assassinated in the streets Of Sioux
City by a saloon slugger another test
came to Perkins, and then his voice in
a public meeting in big church in
Sioux City was for the law and Its en-
forcement. Those were trying times
for Perkins. Everything he had was
at stake. He imperiled his rlife's work
but he stood by the law He shone
well in the light that beat upon him.
Supreme tests come to men at times,
and in the supreme test, George D.
Perkins was not found wanting. His
course in the Haddock case was he
roic and demonstrated that inside Of
his seemingly slow moving nature
there was the sublimest courage.
