Life of officer at Main and
Union Streets Is One
Whirl of Action.

The life Of Traffic officer B. II,
Yates; stationed at the corner of Main
and Union streets is whirl of action.
He sees the citizenry, afoot and mount
ed, in wagon and limousine. He must
have hair trigger mind and. in

life or an accident. He is one of the

While watching Officer Yates did ii

In cold weather he must face the

Says a Hearty Meal Is Not

Look around you Who are the most
successful people you know? They
are shrewd, of course, they have brains
but did you ever see highly success
full person who couldn't enjoy a good
meal?
Scores of Memphis people are now
telling at the Weiss pharmacy how
much better they feel since they can
eat substantial foods. Hundreds of
sick. dyspeptic stomachs have been
made we'll by Pepgen,
Mrs R, e, Wallace. 22S Summer
avenue Binghamton, tells the follow
ing relative to how Pepgen aided her
husband:
For six months my husband had not
been able to eat one good meal. His
stomach was in a dreadful condition.
His food soured and he complained of
bitter taste in his mouth.
Lack of healthy nourishment almost
starved his nervous system. His nerves
were so highly keyed, that he could
hardly sleep at night. Work was out
of the question for my husband He
was too weak to work
He took so much medicine without
help that we had about lost faith in
everything. But now, thanks to Pep
gen. my husband is feeling fine. He
has been able to do more work dur
ing the last two weeks than he was
able to do in six months previous.
His appetite is good and his food
does not hurt him. He sleeps soundly.
Pepgen has given my husband so
much relief that I am glad to recon-
mend it"
Pepgen increases stomach action
and quiets the nerves. 1t cleanses the
blood. 1t encourages the kidneys and
liver and the absence of alcohol and
sugar makes it safe medicine for
everybody to try.
Pepgen is composed of the oils and
juices of a vast number of different
kinds of leaves, roots and banks, each
recognized for its value in relieving
stomach, liver and nerve troubles.

Are your meals paying dividends or

MAIN ST. BUSINESS MAN SAYS
"PEPGEN DID Me- MORE GOOD
THAN ANY OTHER MEDICINE"

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 it made him poor
to carry it around.
The too slender man or woman
rarely is happy.
Plumpness of the body depends upon
the stomach extracting the fats from
the foods that are eaten When the
stomach fails at fat-making the whole
system suffers.
Plumpness does not depend upon
the amount Of food that is eaten; it
depends upon the amount of food that
is assimilated by the stomach. In
cases of extreme slenderness, nine
times out of 10 it may be traced to
stomach sluggishness.
Pepgen overcomes stomach slug
gishness. 1t has increased the weight
of many who were too slender be-
cause it is a tonic for the system
Pepgen is a tissue builder and consti-
tutional food. Weak, thin, pale, nerv-
Gus, run down men and women grow
