South Bend news-times. (South Bend, Ind.) 1913-1938, 1920-06-23

To some mothers Fate decreed a
son should be numbered among the
heroic American dead on the battle
fields of Europe To some mothers
Fate sent back home a son broken
in health. Both OF these tragedies
fell to the lot OF Mrs. Susan Moore
who lives on r. r. c. l24, Indiana
polls.
Her tragic narrative, teeming with
human interest and pathos. was
brought out in the course of a des-
cription she gave OF the experiences
Of one of her sons-the one who was
restored TO her. Her description gave
an intimate insight into the suffering
that is undergone by probably thou
sands Of soldiers who returned-suf-
fering which they no doubt try to
keep a secret but which is apparent
10 the ones who love and care for
them.
Corporal Clark Moore. a son of
Mrs. Susan Moore, is among the dead
in France. He was of those who
courageously plunged into the in
ferno of the Argonne Forest where
guns roared and men FLASHED in
deadly conflict. And there he met a
hero's death-killed in action.
To the mother back home this
news came as a heartrending shock.
But for her that was not all. In the
army she had another son, Walter,
a member of Company +. of the 5th
Engineers. Mingling with her brief
over the death Of one son was
anxiety for the safety of the other.
He too faced the enemy near Ar
gonne.
Untouched by shells. bullets or
bayonets. he fell victim to the fear
full treacherous gas fumes launched
by the Huns. 1t did not prove fatal
He recovered after treatment, suf-
ficiently TO be sent home and re
ceived honorable discharge on ac-
count Of his physical disability.

One may readily imagine the 10Y
of the mother over this sons return.
And one can easily conceive the sub
sequent anxiety she experienced
after observing the poor state of his
health and the failure of her at
tempts TO improve it; until at last
she found the remedy OF this Mrs.
Moore says:
Ito.
he was gassed near the Argonne
Forest. The terrible ordeal that he
went through in France left him
with shattered nerves, an extremely
bad stomach and in poor condition
generally.
He suffered from a breaking out
resulting from the poisonous fumes
his system had absorbed
I was anxious TO have him eat
heartily and become we'll and strong.
But he couldn't do il. He would be-
come nauseated after eating. Some
times he would become very violently
i'll; seized with vomiting spells. He
could not drink coffee at all. He
was so nervous that he was hardly
ever still a minute when awake and
in his sleep he twitched and jumped.
Nothing that was done for him
seemed to help 10 any extent until
we got Pepgen. 1t certainly i'm
proved him wonderfully. Now he
has a strong appetite. He eats
heartily without becoming sick. He
doesn't have the sick spells at all
that he used 70 have. His nerves
are much better. He is quieter and
rests well at night In fact he feels
better all around He is stronger
and healthier looking He is work
ing for the Big Four Railroad now.
Il am glad 10 recommend Pepgen
because il has helped my son so
much
To hear such commentator as
this from the mother Of soldiers
must be gratifying 10 the makers of
this wonderful remedy Pepgen. and
even IL there were not thousands Of
other endorsements. this evidence Of
its efficiency would entitle il 20 con-
sideration Of those in need Of an
