A. NJ. White. of 9G9 Saxon avenue,
is one of the best known BARRIERS Of
Memphis aud represents local No. SO In
the Trades Council.
He IS a man who keeps abreast ot
the times and perhaps a little ahead
He was the first barber in the South
to take up a fight for the closing Of
all barber shops on Sundays,
At that time BARRIERS used to work
seven days a week and lot OF them
thought they had to do that to make
a living. Mr.. White was very much
criticized at the time he inaugurated
his campaign for the Sunday closing.
But he was right and the others were
wrong
Mr., White believes In speaking right
out in favor OF whatever he knows has
actual merit. He speaks right out for
Pepgen, because of his own actual ex-
perlence with it. He says;
II was in rundown condition. had
very little appetite. had been losing
weight and was very nervous.
II felt so badly that had no incli.
nation for work at all 7 lacked en-.
ergy. Just had to drag myself
around.
"Pepgen made n tremendous differ.
ence in the way l felt. began to ca
heartily, picked up weight rapidly
gaining 10 pounds in a few weeks.
"My strength came back and I fec
full of energy. My work isn't tiresom
as it was when l was in bad health.
II have found Pcpgon to ne a won
derfu health builder, and hearth

Perhaps never before in all history
has any medical preparation received
greater praise than Pepgen, which Is
new tonic designed to have
strengthening effect upon the entire
system. Numerous cases Of stomach
trouble, nervous ailments and kidney
Ills, which have been treated by Pen
gen, reveal many wonderful, and, in
some instances. even startling results.
Scores Of Memphis people who have
taken It say they have not known
what It was to feel so well before in
wears.
The value Of all medicines which
have tendency to increase strength
is now more readily recognized than
formerly because Of the fact that in
nuenza germs have proved less harm
ful where healthy, muscular condi-
tioRs exist.
Particular interest attaches to the
story OF Charles Pashby, clerk in the
Chamber of Commerce club, who has
always lived in Memphis. He resides
at SO ~ Claybrook street, In a re-
cent interview Mr.. Pashby said:
Thanks to Pepgen. feel full OF
life and energy, Before I took Pep
gen my stomach was in bad nondi-
ton. 7 had a good appetite and while
ate heartily. my food would sour and
lie like lump Of lead In my stomach
for hours.

seemed to sap all my energy and

how ! came to try II.
