DOCTORS FORMULA
FINDS A HEARTY
PUBLIC WELCOME
Gives the Name Of Each ingredient
Together With Treatise De-
seribing Their Uses.

It is just a little more than one
year ago that Pepgen was first intro
duced to the public. 1t is the formu-
la of a we'll known Dayton, o., phys
ician. who used it in his private prac-
tice previous to that time, obtaining
many remarkable results. There is
no secret about it's composition as the
ingredients used in the manufacture
are printed on the back of each car
ton together with an explanation OF
their action.
At first the sales were small, but as
the value of the medicine became bet
ter known the sales increased until to-
day this remarkable preparation has
been used by scores right here in
Richmond alone.
The American Drug company which
put Pepgen on the market was COM
pletely swamped with orders in three
months and found itself unable to
supply Pepgen in sufficient quantity
to meet the monster demand.
Overwhelmed with the colossal sales
| it became necessary for the company
to increase the capacity of its labora,
tories. but now the thousands OF peo-
pie who have been waiting for Pep
gen may share in the benefits OF re-
, lief experienced through its influence
in stomach, kidney and liver ailments
and symptoms which arise from these
disorders, such as nervousness. dys-
pepsia, dizziness. sleeplessness, loss OF
flesh. waning strength, blotchy COM
plexion. also offensive and annoying
arrangements like bad breath.

ASSAYS QUANTITIES OF GOLD.

CORDOVA. Alaska, Jan. Sc. E. Be-
raud, of Fairbanks, now on his way to
Paris, is believed to hold the distinc-
ton of having individually handled
more raw gold than any other person
in the history of Alaska. During the
eleven years he has spent in work as
assayer for the First National Bank
of Fairbanks, Beraud has assayed $45,-
100000 worth of the precious yellow
metal for which men have yielded their
lives in the silent places. The aggre-
gate weight of this metal was eighty
eight tons. After a visit to Paris, he
says, he will come back to work in the
gold dust once more.

PURE CASCARA IS
A fine LAXATIVE
Should Be Mixed With SIENNA Leaves
To Secure Better Results.

Pure Cascara is one of the best lax
atives known to the medical world.
but cascara alone is not always suffi-
cient to overcome a severe and aggra-
waited case of constipation.
SIENNA Leaves are another popular,
home remedy for constipation, but
like cascara, they will not answer the
problem where the ailment is of long
standing. To secure best results cas-
cara and soma should be used in
combination. Two small horses travel
ing in the same direction will always
output one big horse that weighs as
much as both of them.
To mix cascara and SIENNA in ex'
actly the proper proportions to al
ways have a uniform dose requires a
chemists skill but you can purchase
them already mixed under the name OF
"Pepgen Laxative Tablets"
It is good idea to take Pepgen
Laxative Tablets at the same time
you take Pepgen Tonic. The laxative
tablets keep the bowels open while
the tonic acts as a stomachic and
strength builder

FOR RUN DOWN CONSTITUTIONS"

tically recommend Pepgen have good
reason for so doing They know that
Pepgen deserves to be recommended.
Back of Ppgen's triumphs in the drug
stores is Pepgen's triumphs in the
homes.
Pepgen has so much merit. 1t is so
splendid a tonic for stomach. diges-
ton, kidneys and liver, that it has be-
come a household medicine. Pepgen
is an upbuilder, appetizer, invigorant
and revitaliZer to relieve the weak
ness, illness and general depletion of
the body force resultant from the
breaking down of the digestive pro
cesses.
Eating food is not enough to supply
! the body. Food taken into the stonl'
ach must be rendered into blood. bone
and muscle If the digestive organs
are not ready to perform their func-
tions the food becomes waste. sours,
ferments and creates poisons which
are carried throughout the system.
Pepgen is designed to aid assimila'
ton, so that food which is taken into
the system will serve as fuel for the

Both my husband and I de-
clare that Pepgen is the best tonic 1or
rundown constitutions" says Mrs. w.
E. Brannon, 230 Maple Street, Rich
mond.
I'VE should be very good judges OF
a tonic, too, for we were both in a
poor state of health when we began
to take Pepgen," she continues. Pep
gen took hold of us right from the
very start We have now taken it
for several weeks and besides making
us stronger it has helped us in other
ways-given us good appetites and
better nerves.
Pepgen's aid to the people suffering
with stomach, kidney and liver ills
has been unusual. 1t has been simple
and natural for Pepgen is Natures
medicine for common everyday dis
eases which beset mankind, debilitate
both men and women, deprive them
of happiness and fullness of existence
that ought to by right belong to every
body; impair the digestion. destroy
the appetite: retard the functions OF
the vital organs and thus by injury to
the stomach, blood and nerves destroy
vigor and ambition and the general
health.
The fact that Pepgen is sold and
recommended by first-class druggists
is in itself proof of its merit.
All over the country the druggists
who recommend Pepgen are the drug
gists who serve the people in the larg-
est cities and the smallest villages.
But everywhere they are the big, up
standing, representative merchants OF
their communities, enjoying the con-
fidence of all who know them. When
they recommend medicine they
know it is good.

ALLEGED JOKER" IN ROAD LAW
story County Officials Pvt Different
Interpretation on Statute.

Special to Times Republican.
Nevada, May 24-The board of
supervisors OF story county. like the
board OF every other county of the state
interested In the new road law, has
came up against a -"snag.'
In an effort To interpret the law in
n manner they could Use some of the
available automobile tax and primary
road fund in getting the roads OF the
county in shape for hard surface OF
some kind. they sought the advice of
the Iowa highway commission.
They had II pointed out TO them very
clearly that under Joker contained
in the new hill not one cent OF the auto
tax or primary road fund is available
for other purposes than that of paving
the roads.
The board met and called into con-
sultation County Attorney Lan2land
and u. s. Alderman. of this city. mem
Der of the Thirty-eight general as
sembly from this county, who was a
member OF the committee which re-
ported out the bin. Mr.. Alderman was
insistent that they had interpreted
the bill wrongly and stated emphati-
cally that there was no intention OF
placing the entire power in the hands
OF the highway commission in the
framing of the bill.
Such appears TO have been done.
however. and a careful Interpretation
Of the hill shows that the commission
has been intrueted with almost the
sole power In the highway work on the
primary road work Of the state Of
Iowa
II is the intention OF Mr.. Alderman,
with the board of supervisors of Story
county. TO go over again anr have a
consultation with the highway COM
mission.
The board has met for the purpose
of arranging for calling a special cleo
ton for the purpose of voting upon
the road question and to whether or
not the people desire paved roads. hut
after running up against this stumo-
ling block. they deferred definite action
until Il can be more thoroughly in
vestigated.
A special election will be held very
soon. however, and the people of the
county given an opportunity OF voic-
ing their sentiments on paved roads
for the primary road system of the
county.
In the meantime there is apt to pie
up 10 the credit of Story county and
other counties Of the state huge fund
which will not be available for emer-
gency relief OF other work upon the
roads other than paving.

reply was a prompt one.
Mayor Bell stated this morning that

presented itself he would try to land

the exhibition would be divided and in
such an event it might be possible 10
