In about 95 percent of the homes,
where Pepgen has been used, the peo-
pie express their enthusiasm in
strongest terms, is the information
given out by Mr.. Glen Thistlethwaite,
a prominent druggist.
Following is only small number Of
the people who have been relieved by
it:
Mrs. Harry Harmeyer, 1852 Main
St, says: Since taking Pepgen
have no more nervous dyspepsia"
w M Cannon, 10 South Sixth St,
says: Il have tried many remedies
for my stomach. Nothing ever helped
like Pepgen."
! Mrs Nillicent Robertson, 1872 So
Eighth St, eats first hearty meal for
over a year without having indiges
ton.
w. H. Crump, 41S North 18th St.
says: mo more sour, bitter taste in
my mouth I can't speak too highly
of Pepgen."
F. L. Street, $50 N. 10th St. says:
"Pepgen gave me a good appetite"
A. L. Alsop, IA South 18th St:
There has been great change in my
wife's appearance. She has been TAX

condition"

Mrs, Nav Hull

"A chance cold in the head caused
me a great deal of suffering" says
Mrs. May Hull. 923 Sixth Avenue, Des
Moines, Iowa. Il generally got out of
bed in the morning with bad taste
in my mouth and dizzy headaches. l
had no appetite for breakfast. l was
nervous and everything seemed to up
set me. At times l had to ask my
children to play outside. I could not
stand the noise they made.
"Since taking Pepgen my improve
ment has been wonderful. My head
is as clear as bell. | have a fine ap-
petite and am not troubled with head
aches. We have ten-room house and
feel so much stronger that my house
work is mere play, where before it
seemed as if l could never get through
feel that l cannot praise Pepgen too
highly
Pepgen is composed of oils and
juices Of a vast number of leaves
roots and barks, each recognized for
its value in treating stomach, liver
and nerve diseases. Thousands rec
ommend it.

CAKE AND PIE
. HIT SPOT NOW
Richmond Woman Is Pleased
at Greater Variation In
Foods She Can Eat.

Cake and pie hit the spot now"
says Miss Maggie Deyo, 1928 n. 18th
Street, Richmond.
Miss Deyo says this since she has
been taking Pepgen, the great stom-
ach. liver and nerve tonic. Before she
took Pepgen she was almost afraid of
rich foods.
II suffered so long with my stomach
and my system was in such a weaken
ed condition that | was on the verge
Of breakdown" declares Miss Deyo.
When the influenza epidemic
struck Richmond l was attacked by
the disease and ever since that time
have been annoyed by neuralgia.
Il want to say that Pepgen built me
right up. 1t helped me in a general
way. Pepgen did me worlds Of good
and I am glad to recommend it."
When a boiler carries more steam
than is necessary it is under too big a
strain and is weakened. When the
body Is overtaxed by excessive work,
1t Is quickly broken down.
There are many people who need
some sort Of tonic to take care of
this extra strain. The most natural
remedy would be stopping for need
ed rest and refreshment. However,
the stress OF our labors, the cares and
the duties of the household, the con-
slant attention demanded of the far
mer by his fields and stock do not
admit Of rest.
, To restore the body in the natural
way, by rest. would often spell finan-
cial ruin, so the average man an
woman just keeps on going" The
tissues of the body become weakened,
the stomach revolts, the liver fails to
do its work and then follow dyspep-
J STA, dizziness, heartburn. headaches
and later come rheumatic pains and
catarrhal symptoms.
The most reasonable, rational meth
cd of restoring health, when weakness
first appears is by the Tonic Route.
! A tonic builds, refreshes and rejuve
mates. Pepgen has been proclaimed by
hundreds as the most valuable Of all
tonics.
Pepgen is especially intended for
nervous, rundown men and women
who have poor digestions and who can
not sleep soundly. 1t promotes
strength and energy for work.

Mrs. Eva Connell, 263 S. w. Third
street, Richmond. MY food dis
agreed with me. 1t soured and fer
mented and caused bloated, stuffy
feeling. The gas formations were
usually worse in the evening.
Il had a disagreeable taste in my
mouth. Throbbing headaches added
to my discomfort. So many people
here in Richmond recommended Pep
gen for exactly the same troubles that
l had that l decided to try It,
"Since taking Pepgen my food
doesn't sour as it formerly did. 1t is
great relief not to be troubled with
that bloated. stuffy feeling. Indeed
am feeling like a new woman.
Il am not at all backward in rec

PURE CASCARA
FINE LAXATIVE

Pure Cascara Is one OF the best lax
atives known to the medical world,
but cascara alone is not always suffi-
cient to overcome severe and agra
waited case of constipation.
SIENNA leaves are another popular
home remedy for constipation. but like
cascara. they will not answer the prob
lem where the ailment is of long
standing. To secure best results cas-
cara and SIENNA should be used in COM
bination. Two small horses travelling
In the same direction will always out

as both of them.
To mix cascara and SIENNA In exact

ALL KNICHTST0WN
is TALKING ABOUT
THE CALF CASE

Albert Calf, Knightstown, well
known in Richmond as the "Hominy
Man" because OF the deliciousness of
his product, recently called at Glenn
Thistlethwaite's drug store and told
the following story:
Yes, all my friends in Knightstown
are talking about my case and the
wonderful relief that Pepgen gave me.
never expected to be a we'll man, but
thanks to Pepgen I feel splendid.
II had to be very careful what I ate
before taking Pepgen as my stomach
would retain only light foods. When
I ate anything that disagreed with me
I would have indigestion so bad that
II would often spit up blood.
II heard others tell about the good
qualities of Pepgen and so. several
months ago, I secured a bottle and
began taking the medicine.
Anybody who saw me before took
Pepgen and sees me now could easily
tell that 1t helped me. Friends say
look like different person"
| To be charitable toward your neigh
| bors brings its own reward. 1t no,
| only helps others, but gives a happy
satisfaction to ourselves. Charity does
not mean the giving of money alone
but means to lend helping hand tc
anybody who may be in trouble.
II you have been a great sufferer
with stomach, kidney and liver ills
and have been relieved by Pepgen
would you not consider it a charitable
act to recommend it? II by your rec
,ommendation a hundred people should
regain health or even one,-would yol
not be well satisfied?
1t is the great humanitarian spiri
that induces people to tell their ex
periences with Pepgen. They hav'
been restored to health and they wan
to spread the good news. They lik'
to tell how they were helped so tina
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 colo
to pale cheeks.
When the blood is thin and watery
Pepgen, through its influence on diges
ton. makes rich, red blood whicI
nourishes every organ in the body.
Men and women who have poor d
gestion would do we'll to make thor

DR.. John Adams, 500 E. Fifth St,
Dayton, Ohio. who was formerly pro
fessor of Chemistry at the Cincinnati.
Ohio, College OF Medicine & Surgery,
who has practiced medicine forty-two
years, and who is one of the best in
formed physicians in America, says of
Pepgen:
Il tried Pepgen because I have been
overworked Recent epidemics have
kept me. like other physicians, going
night and day | needed something 10
build up my nerves and strengthen
my general system, Another doctor
recommended that try Pepgen which
| accordingly did. In a short time
felt stronger in every way. | was SO
pleased with the results of Pepgcn
that l prescribed it to a number OF
my patients suffering with stomach
liver and kidney affections. In each
and every case the results were en-
tirely satisfactory. One young man
who had been suffering severely with
collie, caused by fermentation Of food,
until at times he was almost drawn
double, told me that he had not had
single return attack after the sec
ond day l started him on Pepgen.
'In my opinion Pepgen is the best
general tonic l ever used, and l am
glad to endorse it,

juices of a vast number of leaves,
roots and banks, each recognized for
it's value in treating stomach, liver
and nerve diseases. Thousands rec

Wednesday. Indications are that we
have seen the retail top on sugar, but
that Is by no means a certainty. Re-
fners are holding their prices up, $22
and $3.50 being seaboard costs in car
lots, for standard granulated, but the
cheapening of raw stock should soon
have effect. We are now importing
great deal Of finished" sugar from
various countries, our high prices be-
ing tempting to the rest of the world
who can spare us this necessity. An
other wonderful crop is being grown
in Cuba, and our own crop promises to
be the largest on record. The whole
world is attempting to increase its
sugar output.
Coffee Is Declining.
Number Rios and No. Santos cot
fees have been declining for some
time. These are the two great specula-
tive grades on the New York Coffee
exchange. Spot coffee is selling at
between IL and 10 cents, and Santos
4 at 1874 to 20 cents per pound in 1872
pound bags, as imported. All the
mild" coffees of South America and
the Islands are also lower in price.
The shortage of the Brazilian crop, and
the exactions and manipulations of
that government, have been largely re-
sponsible for recent high prices. Be-
sides, coffee is one of the favored
articles in profit making, to offset the
close handling of staples"

Present export bids for wheat at the
seaboard are: For August delivery.
$2.96; for September. 1898. and for
October. $2.S5 to s2.8s. all at Gulf
ports. The feeling is that Europe
will need liberal supply of our grain
and that there Is no cheap wheat in
sight in this crop. In addition, should
black rust materially injure the spring
wheat a bulge in prices will naturally
follow. France will harvest almost
enough wheat for it's needs; Roumania
has a good export crop, and India a
comfortable surplus. Taking the
world as a whole, however, and in
view of the special needs Of Great
Britain, it is felt that every bushel
probably will be in demand.
