To people of Memphis who use the
Iowa street crossing of the Frisco rail-
road, a statement which has just been
given out by B; W. Stevens, night
Waterman at that point, viii be Of Pc
culiar interest, because il has to do, in
measure, with precautions for their
safety and it IL of interest also to the
general public on account of the addi-
tional proof of the efficiency Of the
medicine, Pepgen. that Mr. Stevens de-
scribes.
The statement brings up the thought
that the health of a man in such a po-
sition is not only Of Importance to him
self but to all the people. who have &C.
oasion to traverse the crossing, as they
depend to a great extent upon the alert
ress of the Waterman to warn them and
Protect them from danger. And health,
good or bad, determines to great ex-
tent just what degree of alertness will
be exercised. No man can do his work
with 700 per cent efficiency when his
physical system is disordered, when he
Is unable to get normal amount OF sleep,
and when ne is consequently wretchedly
nervous.
Mr.. Stevens realized this and when he
felt that he was slipping" in condi-
ton, he lost little time in taking steps
to bring back health, Consequently dan
ger is guarded against more alertly now
at the Iowa street crossing than a short
time ago and Pepgen shares in the
credit.
