PEPGEN TONIC
IS EXPLAINED
Non-Secret Formulas Enable People
to Know What They Are
Taking.

Pepgen is not a secret remedy. The
formula is printed on the back OF ev-
cry package. It contains only rem
edies of approved and recognized mer-
it. All OF the ingredients are carefully
selected and scientifically compound
ed by the special Pepgen process in
which neither sugar nor alcohol is
used
Persons with kidney Ills should care
fully avoid sugar as should also peo-
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
tack.
In Pepgen will be found peppermint
leaves used to stop nausea, relieves
spasmodfc pain in the stomach and
bowels and expel gas. Gentian root,
which possesses tonic properties in a
high degree. 1t aids and invigorates
digestion. Peruvian bark, an anti
malarial agent is OF service in debility
and wasting diseases, pallor, improv-
erished blood and feeble recuperative
power. Fringe Tree bark exerts a
special influence upon the liver. 1t is
of benefit where there is yellowness Of
the skin and eyes and sense of I'M
easiness in the right side. Black Co
hosh through its influence upon the
muscular system is recommended for
rheumatism, neuralgia and lumbago.
Plantain leaves contain properties
valuable in kidney and bladder de-
rangement.
