SUCCEEDS after
PROLONGED HUNT
During Stay in South Bend, New Or
leans Manufacturer Makes
Discovery.

A statement given out by G. A
Ray a manufacturer of New Or
leans, Louisiana, is OF particular in
terest In South Bend because IL was
in this city that MIR. Ray ended a
search with success search that
he had been making for many years.
Mr. Ray. who travels extensively
in connection with his business, says
he was stopping at the Robertson
Hotel in South Bend when he read
in a local newspaper a number of
statements regarding Pepgen that
impre ssed him very strongly. He
had been a sufferer from stomach
trouble for q quarter of a century.
he says, and during that time, on his
travels, had been seeking a remedy.
The result of the South Bend testi-
mOnials that he CHANGED 10 read and
decided TO act upon, Is made appar-
ent in the statement that follows.
He says:
Il suffered with stomach trouble
for twenty-five years. In travelling
over United States 1 tried everything
that 1 heard OF as beneficial 10 the
stomach, but could not get relief.
I had to be very careful with my
diet and this was hard to do on ac-
count of being on the road so much.
eating at hotels and restaurants.
Eating meats caused me misery.
In fact, after any meal It usually
felt as if there was a lump in my
stomach.
II was very much surprised at the
immediate relief l got from Pepgen.
And it. is expressing it mildly 10 say
I am highly gratifed over the con
tinued Improvement that it has
brought me. I don't have 70 watch
my diet as I used to. ! can eat
meats or anything I want. 1 do not
have that weighty feeling in my
stomach any more.
'Pepgen has done for me what no
other medicine ever did. 1t is the
best medicine ] ever took"
Mr. Ray is a manufacturer of poi
ishes, soaps, filters and paint re-
movers. selling his products to pi-
0no, furniture and cabinet manu-
facturers all over the country. He
has wide acquaintance in these in
dustries. His address in New or

We usually measure returns from
investments in dollars and cents, but
John ". Phillips. 9O3 North First
street, Terre Haute, Ind, testihes
that investments sometimes yield
greater profit than monetary values.
II was so in his case.
After a year OF almost constant
misery, suffering with his stomach,
suddenly he finds himself a compar-
atively well man-able 70 eat what
ever he wishes with never a sign or
indigestion. gas, bloating or fermen-
tation OF food.
This great change was brought
about in his physical condition by a
small investment in a bottle OF Pep
gen. which, OF course. he took ac-
cording 10 the directions printed on
the label. Scores Of people IN Terre
Haute as well as South Bend have
had similar experiences, and II is
safe TO say that not one OF them
would trade the health they re-
ceived for many times the cost OF the
medicine. After all. good health Is
more desirable than the greatest
fortune ASK anybody who has
taken Pepgen what they think OF II

MY daughter. Grace, was losing

giving an endorsement Of Pepgen.
She lives at 2702 Bertrand Street,
South Bend.
Grace suffered from Indigestion"
say the mother. She complained Of
a burning sensation in her stomach
and her chest and throat after
meals. There were many foods that
she did not dare to eat on account
Of the after-effects. In fact, she
had very little appetite.
She got Pepgen after reading OF
it in the newspapers. 1t relieved
her indigestion. She can eat what
ever she wants and she says she
never has that burning sensation any
more. Her appetite has increased
so much that there IS hardly any
comparison and she has gained ten
pounds in weight. This is due not
only to the stronger appetite but the
sound, refreshing sleep she gets at
night on account Of her relief from
nervousness"
Pepgen reaches those ills of the
stomach. kidneys and liver that sap

Is It a luxury to kill bugs? That

secticide In a Gardiner drug store a
few days ago. She paid the price
marked on the package. Then the
clerk had q happy thought. He
looked on the list Of goods taxable In
the store. The insecticide is taxable.
She paid the tax.
Hot day. Ice cart. Bare feet.
Chunks Of ice. Member what fun 1t
used to be to follow the ice cart and
search for stray bits Of that intang!-
BILE stuff? The cool breeze that
seemed to start from the dark. dank
interior? And the thrills of grasping
q big piece while the bare-headed,
strong -muscled l. m. was at the back
door Of the next house?
Bugs. Ice. More bugs. A woman
who lived in my town few years
ago about this time of the year was
tired Of living. She hated the warm
weather and the house work that
kept piling up. She went to the drug
store and she bought some larkspur.
She drank the larkspur. She did not
die. It killed the wrong bug. But
the wrong bug was the better bug.
1t did not kill her. She was a bug
for wanting to end her own life. Aft
er that life was sweet to her and she
wanted to live. 1t killed the bug .of
an idea that she should die.
Half the joy OF waiting at the
crossing for the long freight to pass
would be taken out OF life If some
efficiency crank decided to have all
the freight cars alike in size, contour
and lettering. Just think of the
withdrawing monotony of stand
ing and watching car after car Of the
same smutty color going by. This
morning, she says, she was a quarter
of lap ahead of the game and was
getting to the Office before her reg
ular time. Then a long freight
pulled by the crossing just as she
reached the same place. She was
some peeved because she felt that
her hurrying ahead of the game
would be in vain. But the cars were
so interesting. Each label told a sto-
ry Of it's own. Just think of it the
next time a long freight holds you
up. But aren't you glad to see the
caboose?
