Stomach Troubles Have All
- Disappeared"

For more than one year suffered
intense misery caused by disorder

South 14th St., Richmond. "My liver
was also out Of order. All ! want to
say is that people who have trouble
with their stomachs or livers had bet

ence prompt relief"
Pepgen is now the senation OF the
drug trade in the United States. In
the history of proprietary medicines
there has never been record worthy
of comparison with Pepgen.
The enormous popularity OF Pepgen
is due to Its meritorious effects In
stomach trouble, indigestion. dyspep-
sia, headaches, constipation, back
ache. kidney and liver ills.
No medicine OF less merit could pile
up the huge sales record that has
Pepgen, nor gain as has Pepgen the
unqualified Endorsements Of men and
women by the thousands who stand
for the best OF their various commun-
tiles.

The American men and women

is kidney trouble, bladder weakness

PLUMBER STATES
HIS EXPERIENCE
'WASWONDERFUL'
Guy Brown Able to Eat Hearty Meals;
Before Taking Pepgen He Suf-
fered With Indigestion.

Eyes, before taking Pepgen was a
constant sufferer with my stomach -
says Guy Brown, plumber, AT South
14th ST., Richmond. "My pains were
often so bad thought couldn't stand
them. And then, besides, gas would
form on my stomach and make me
very uncomfortable. have now TAX
en- Pepgen for about three weeks and
feel first-class.
II tell my experience with Pepgen
after having tried many different
kinds of remedies and treatments. 1t
is the only thing that ever brought
me real relief. l am glad l heard of
Pepgen and want to do my share to-
wards inducing others to try it for l
honestly believe 1t will help in almost
every case where 1t is conscientiously
used"
When digestion is bad the entire
system suffers and even the best food
cannot overcome the difficulty Get
ting back to healthy condition of
body and mind can be had in many
cases by tonic treatment.
II tonic is selected let it be ton
ic which has a good influence on the
digestive tract. The value of Pepgen
as tonic can be plainly seen when
it is known that this preparation is
designed to relieve the entire intest-
inal tract as well as strengthen the
action of the kidneys and liver.
BY stimulating these organs Pep
gen relieves constipation, sauow skin,
headaches and tired feelings" which
usually come from a disordered condi-
ton of these organs.
Pepgen relieves misery after eat
ing, indigestion, dyspepsia, gas, acid,
and bloating. 1t also promotes healthy
refreshing sleep through its soothing
effect upon the nervous system.

The Cash System

The war has had a peculiar effect on trade
conditions in England. Although the debt of that
country has increased by leaps and bounds, the
debts Of the English families have decreased.
Business men of that country report that very
little credit has been asked or given in the last
four years to individual families.
Two reasons are assigned for the condition.
In the first place, the war taught the housewives
thrift, which they practiced so vigorously that
they had enough money to pay cash for their
foodstuffs and clothing. A second compelling
cause was that the housewife wanted to stay on
the good side of the tradesmen, for she realized
that if she persistently refused to pay her bills
the tradesmen, when shortages of food arose,
would naturally favor the customers who paid
cash. Regulations for slow pay brought an in
evitable punishment that could not be evaded.
Conditions in America did not reach the crit
ical stage experienced in England, but neverthe-
penditures closely began to shop with more intel
ligence and to take advantage more quickly Of
bargains available for cash payment. Having
once learned the advantage Of not having "house-
hold debts" hanging over them, many house.
wives concluded that the cash system was pre-
ferable to the credit system.
Business men hope that their customers will
continue to deal with them on strictly cash
basis. The advantage is mutual and if it could
be carried out on scale involving every purchase
in retail store in the United States, both deal
ers and purchasers would save thousands Of dol
lars annually.

Mrs. Eyden's husband is a we'll
known portrait and landscape painter.
Pepgen the medicine to which she re-
fers Is now being introduced in Rich
mond by Glen Thistethwaite and 9TH
er leading druggists.
Pepgen is not secret remedy. The
formula is printed on the back OF ev-
cry package. It contains only drugs
of approved and recognized merit. All
of the drugs which enter into its COM
position are carefully selected and sci.
entifically compounded by the special
Pepgen process in which neither sug-
ar nor alcohol is used.
Persons with kidney Ills should
carefully avoid sugar, as should also
people with weak stomachs. Sugar
often produces what is known as sac
charine ferment. Alcohol is very bad
for people who have rheumatism and
even the slightest amount of this stim-
ulent sometimes produces an attack.
If you do not feel right try Pepgen.
It may be obtained at any Of Thistle
thwaite's drug stores and all other
leading druggists in this city and near
nv towns

INSURANCE AGENT
NOW FREE FROM
SICK HEADACHES
[. NJ. Harlan Declares That Pepaen
Proved His Ills Came From
Stomach.

MY headaches, VIII which was SO
frequently attacked, came from my
stomach. ] always thought headaches
were caused by indigestion and now
since taking Pepgen, the great stom.
ach medicine. ! am sure OF It," says
L. NJ. Harlan, well known insurance
agent, who lives at 800 Sheridan ST.
Richmond.
"Since taking Pepgen have not
had one severe headache and not only
that my appetite is better and en-
joy my meals. Although my work as
insurance agent Is not any easier now
than it was before / took Pepgen II
seems easier to me because am sc
much stronger.
AFTER collecting all day, in which

per without having indigestion after
wards. After a short rest / feel as
fresh as did at the beginning of the
day. Formerly was so tired all eve.
ming that had to almost drag myself
around.
Il recommend Pepgen because feel
that it is my duty to do So"
Are your meals paying you divi
dends or are they plunging you head
long into physical bankruptcy? Ev
cry meal you eat should give you
more than hunger satisfaction. More
blood for your veins and more flesh
for your bones are what you should
have.
The more some folks eat the thin
ner they get. Something must be
wrong. These people eat plenty of
flesh building food, still they gain
very little strength.
The man who ate and did not get
fat, suggested that 1t made him poor
to carry it around. The too slender
man or woman rarely is happy.
Plumpness of the body depends up
on the stomach extracting the fats
from food that is eaten. When the
stomach fails at fat making the whole
system suffers. Plumpness does not
depend upon the amount of food that
is eaten. 1t depends upon the amount
of food that is assimilated by the
stomach. In cases of extreme slend-
erness, nine times out of ten it may
be traced to stomach sluggishness.
Pepgen the matchless reconstruc-
tive tonic overcomes stomach weak
ness. 1t increases the weight of many
who are too slender because it is a
tonic for the system. Pepgen is It's
sue builder and constitutional food.
Weak, thin, pale, bloodless, nervous,
rundown men and women grow fat
taking Pepgen.

CASE
WAS PAST HELPING
Several Weeks Use Of Pepgen Brings
Remarkable Results to Rich
mond Woman.

Many people will not take medicine
because they have tried SO many diff
ferent remedies and been disappoint
ed that they have lost faith in every
thing. They think medicine may helI
other people but won't help them.
These people who have lost hope
should follow the example Of Mrs
Miner, who lives at 1929 North 9Th
St. Richmond Mrs. Miner thought
her case was past helping but still
she is a believer in the old "Try. try
again." adage After numerous un
successful efforts to regain her health
she decided to try Pepgen. That she
was rewarded at last is best told in
her own words.
Mrs. Miner says, II suffered with
stomach trouble and the attendant ills
such as indigestion, heartburn, head
aches and bloated feelings for so long
that l thought my case was past help
ing. l tried so many medicines with
out obtaining satisfactory relief that
was discouraged.
when I started to take Pepgen
didn't have much faith in 1t but 1t was
SO highly recommended that / decid.
ed to try it. In few days after
started taking Pepgen l felt better and
as I continued to take it l continued
to get better. After taking it for one
week I could almost feel myself get
ting stronger day by day. / have now
taken it for several weeks and the re-
suits have been remarkable. My
stomach troubles have left me and
feel perfectly splendid"
To be charitable toward your neigh
Dor brings its own reward. 1t not only
helps others, but gives happy salts
faction to ourselves. Charity does not
mean the giving of money alone, but
means to lend a hoping hand to any
body who may be in trouble.
If you have been a great sufferer
with stomach, kidney and liver ills
and you have been relieved by Pep
gen would you not consider 1t char
table act to recommend it? II by
your recommendation a hundred peo-
pie should regain health or even one,
would you not be we'll satisfied?
1t is the great humanitarian spirit
that induces people to tell their ex-
periences with Pepgen. They have
been restored to health and they want
to spread the good news. They like
to tell how they were helped so that
others may employ the same means.
Pepgen has won Endorsements from
people wherever it has been intro
duced. 1t promotes sound, healthy
refreshing sleep and brings good color
to pale cheeks.
When the blood is thin and watery,
Pepgen, through its influence on d.
gestion, makes rich, red blood which
nourishes every organ IN the body
Men and women who have poor d.
gestions would do well to make q
thorough study OF Pepgen. Perhaps
your next door neighbor can tell you
how they have been relieved OF those
distressing symptoms which usually
result in nervous breakdowns.
Headaches, backaches, dizziness.
constipation and many other symp-
toms are but the forerunners OF break
downs
