THIS RICHMOND man RELATES
HOW PEPGEN HELPED HIS WIFE
OF SEVERE STOMACH TROUBLE
Says "Time Was When She Scarcely
Ate Enough to Keep Bird
Alive"
HAS GOOD APPETITE NOW

The large number of people who
are taking Pepgen is now matter of
record at the Thistlethwaite drug
stores in this city. The sincere and
emphatic Endorsements adds each day
to it's ever increasing popularity as a
stomach, kidney and liver tonic
A. L. Alsop IA South 18th Street,
Richmond says. "Will 1 recommend
Pepgen? Yes and gladly While l
have never taken Pepgen myself, my
wife has taken it and it has helped
her. 1t strengthened her nerves and
made her feel good. l shall soon be-
gin taking it myself as l need good
tonic to make me stronger.
my wife is very enthusiastic about
Pepgen but she don't have to tell me
how it helped her. I can notice 1t al
ready in her appearance. She seems
so much more cheerful and does not
complain about being tired. 1t does
me good to see her eat and she ap-
parently relishes every mouthful of
her food. Before she took Pepgen
she scarcely ate enough to keep bird
alive. She looked pale and tired.
Anybody who saw my wife several
weeks ago and sees her today would
notice great change for the better
in her appearance"
Pepgen may be obtained at any of
Thistethwaite's drug stores or from
any other first-class drug store any
where.

NERVES AIDED

II would be ungrateful II I didn't
speak a good word for Pepgen," says
Mrs. Mary Jones, PIG WISER street,

by my food fermenting and turning to
gas 1t was a heavy burning feeling
And then my heart would flutter until
at times thought it would jump out
of my mouth.
MY appetite was almost stranger,
consequently, my vitality was simply
wasting away. l felt tired and was
very weak. l was so nervous that
couldn't sleep soundly. l dreaded to
see nights come because I would have
to roll and toss until long after mid.
night before could go to sleep.
"Pepgen relieved me. 1t seems al
most unbelievable to me that am
now eating corn bread, raw onions,
and cucumbers. I go to bed and go to
sleep right away"
"My son, William v. Jones, told me
about Pepgen. That's how l came to
try it because it had helped him.

well man" says Mrs. Thomas Rogers,
931 North 18th ST., Richmond.
When my husband started to take
Pepgen his back hurt him. This prob
ably came from disordered kidneys.
His stomach also went back on him
and he complained of his food sour
ing. He grew so weak that he was
not able to go to work.
Since taking Pepgen his back is in
better condition and from the way he
eats his stomach is about normal.
His food agrees with him. Yes, Pep

and l do not hesitate to recommend
it,
Pepgen increases stomach action

"GAVE ME GOOD
APPETITE" HE
SAYS OF TONIC
F. L. Street, Of This City Does Not
Hesitate to lndorse
Pepgen.

One of the greatest pleasures in
life is to sit down to a well cooked
meal and be able to enjoy it. In this
respect the rich man has no advan-
tage over the poor man. True, he
may have a greater variety of foods
but If his digestion is not good, he
cannot relish the foods his riches en-
able him to obtain. Many poor man
is richer with good digestion than the
most bloated bond holder, with nerv.
Gus dyspepsia.
F. L. Street, $50 North 10th St,
Richmond, says: "Pepgen gave me a
good appetite" and what Mr.. Street
says hundreds of persons with sorely
afflicted stomachs, would like to say.

food sours causing bloated, uncom-

GOES TO WORK
AFTER LAY OFF
OF 4 WEEKS
Glad To Say That Pepaen Put Him
Back on His Feet.

That Terre Haute people are being
benefited by Pepgen as well people
here and in other parts of Indiana is
shown by a glance of what that city's
residents say. Among those who
have recently testified is Mrs. Carrie
Summer, who tells how the great
tonic helped her husband:
my husband had been sick for four
weeks" says Mrs. Summer, % Oak
land Avenue Terre Haute. He was
troubled with his kidneys. He was
compelled to be up and down the big
gest part OF the night. His back
panied him so terribly that he was not
able to go to work.
Then he started to taking Pepgen.
He soon grew SO much better that he
was able to go back to his work as
driver for the Model Ice Cream Co.
While he is not entirely well am
sure that 1t will only be short time
until he feels like himself again.
I'VE are glad to recommend Pep
gen and We honestly believe that 1t
will help others who are troubled"
Weak. nervous rundown men and
women may learn more OF Pepgen at
Thistlethwaite's drug stores OF from
any first-class drug store in Richmond
and nearby towns.

The Spanish Influenza

Acting on instructions from the state board OF
health Dr. j. M. Bulla, county health commits
sioner, has ordered all schools, churches, amuse-
ment houses and public meetings in Wayne
county closed until the epidemic of Spanish in
fluenza is under control.
The order is general enough to include all
places where persons congregate. It's purpose is
to check at once the ravages of the disease.
Citizens have taken kindly to the order, for they
appreciate what is at stake.
Dr. Hurty's instructions to DR.. Bulla, printed
yesterday on the first page of the Palladium,
contain many suggestions that, if carried into
practice, will help the health authorities in
quickly mastering the disease. 1t is apparent
that coughing, sneezing and splitting are methods
of spreading the disease. If the individual citi-
zen wants to assist DR.. Bulla in his campaign, he
must sneeze cough into handkerchief. Per-
sons with colds should stay at home. Coughers
are disease spreaders. Public spitters are pub
lie nusances Colds are dangerous. If you have

Pepgen is not secret remedy. The

selected and scientifically compound
ed by the special Pepgen process In
which neither sugar nor alcohol II
used.
Persons with kidney ills should care .
fully avoid sugar as should also PEG
pie with weak stomachs. Sugar often
produces what is called saccharine fer
ment. Alcohol is very bad for people
who are subject to rheumatism and
even the slightest amount OF this
stimulent sometimes produces an at.
