John Pcmeroy, Noted New Zealand
Scientist, Says American People
Treat Their Stomachs With Too
Little Respect.

Forty per cent of the people of
the South are half-sick and fully
ninety per cent of these can attri-
butte their sufferings to stomach
troubles.
Such are the main points in Pom
eroy's new theory which has stirred
Memphis, Little Rock, Atlanta and
other Southern cities where he has
visited during the past few weeks.
"This is due to modern conditions
he explained in Memphis recently.
"These people," he went on, "have
rundown, overworked digestive or
gans, owing to too little exercise in
the fresh air and too much hastily
eaten food. It isn't kidney trouble.
or nervousness, or liver complaint, or
dozens of other diseases invented by
their imaginations.
Zone man called on me last week
and started our conversation by say
ing: My stomach is on the bum.
l could think of a more elegant way
to describe the condition of modern
Americans, but none o r accurate

or expressive. These half-sick people
today have digestive organs that are
'on the bum.
Sometimes when I see on the
street a tired looking man or woman,
with dull eyes and sallow complex
ion, l feel like saying: Say, I know
what's the matter with you. l can
help you if you will do as l tell you.
"a sound digestive apparatus that
is doing it's full duty in getting every
particle of vitality out of the food
is what makes good health. Only
keep the stomach in condition and
there is likely to be but little sick
ness.
"It is the American tendency to
treat the stomach with too little re-
spect. Most people stuff themselves
with too much food, and then when
the digestive organs get out of order,
are half-sick all the time, and don't
know what is the matter with them.
My medicine, Puratone, restores mis-
used or out of whack' stomachs to
normal condition and destroys chronic
constipation. Thousands Of people
say that this is the reason for my big
succe and explains why / am now
attracting such an unusual amount of
attention all over the South"
P~uratone is sold in Grenada by
Fatherree Drug Store, and by one
leading Druggist in every town.

the record of a useful life break off
in the country, but it is still d sad
der thought to know that the mis-
takes and evils that prevailed for a
solid twelve months, will still haunt
the old places, and afflict those who
cannot right the. wrongs or correct
these prevailing errors--unless an in
