Pepgen Is primarily a tissue builder,
tonic and appetizer. 1t revitalizes the
blood, restores inflamed membranes and
builds the body back to strength.
Catarrh is the great American dis-
ease. Catarrh of the stomach and kid
neys often leads to dyspepsia and

often causes deafness and catarrh of

W. L, Coley, Locomotive En-.
gineer on Union Railroad,
Happy Over Improvement
Brought by New Remedy.
Rids Him of Acute Indiges-
ton in Short Order, He Says

'PepEen has done me a million dol
lars' worth Of good" is the enthusiastic
declaration Of W L Coley, 7o6 Roland
street. Memphis.
Mr., Coley is locomotive engineer on
the Union railroad and while he has no
personal knowledge Of how it feels to
be the possessor of q million dollars. he
does know the difference between be-
tween being in good health and bad
health. And he can't imagine that a
man could be happier over getting a
million dollars than a sick man over
getting good health
In other words, Mr. Coley puts
aealth-wealth ahead Of financial
wealth and he is right. Health and
happiness go together Wealth with
out health is unhappiness. There are
lot Of millionaires who would gladly nav
a million dollars If it were possible to
trade stomaehs with some poor man
olessed with good health. OF course,
these wealthy men could have had
health as well as wealth if they had
taken precautions in time, but they neg
leOted everything else in their pursuit
of riches until it was too late.
All Of US can't acquire riches, but we
can all enjoy the happiness Of health
simply by taking proper steps in time.
