• he following voluntary statement:
“My first experience with this
remarkable invigator came in the
summer of 1928, when Saigon was
brand new. I was suffering from
nervous debility and an alarming
physical depletion as the result of
oyer-work on the lecture platform,
end really feared I would not have
strength enough to get me through
the political campaign of July and
August. Unbelieveable as it may
seem, two bottles taken with the
Sargon Pills simply made me over.
After the most hectic speaking cam-
paign through which I ever passed,
I came out actually feeling far
stronger than when 1 began.
“Later, rushing away on another,
Itisy speaking tour covering several 1
States, I did not persevere in the
ilt.ily use of the medicine until my I
system was thoroughly cleansed, j
with the result that twice since then j
I found myself again suffering from
general debility, constipation and
dizziness, and each time the Sargon
combination has cleared me up and
left me feelir.g tip-top.
"Living now in the aftermath of
these refreshing experiences, I am
moved by common gratitude to
heartily commend this wholesome
and effective medicine to everybody
whose run-down condition calls for
complete restoration.”

Why You Should Pay a
.... Doctor’s Bill Promptly
1. Your naed is almost always urgent; you expect him to
respond quickly.
2. He is a one-man power—no one else is working for
him.
3. His only capital is his education, skill and time, which
hq converts itilo money.
4. He must be well clothed and fed, and have a modern
equipment in order to give you good value for your money
6. He must, pay his own bills promptly, else his reputation
will he lowered and he will become discouraged.
6. An underpaid, overworked or discouraged physician is
a dangerous mun in uny community.
7. A good physician wants to relieve human suffering
without thought of money, Lut he must have thedatter, and
unless you do e.erythirig you can to pay him promptly, lie
will feel as you would, discouraged, working for nothing
and you may find that he hus lost interest in you at juat
the time when you need him most.
