Bellamy, Druggist Some Cannot See Nor Can Thev Hear 9 The Light of Reason Cannot Penetrate the Minds of This Class Great men never hold, theirv- opin ions so rigidly fixed that they cannot be changed; their minds are always open and subject to influence I truth and reason. People who will not let the light of reason enter their minds are generally biased in their views and are guided by prejudice. It is a habit among men, in their self exalted wisdom, to charge the gentler sex with being one sided in their views and guided by prejudice This is not true, for there are many women who can listen to evidence, for and ' against, and arrive at a correct conclusion just as well as any man Mrs. L. A. Doggett. wife of a well known contractor and painter, living at 515 w. Morgan t.. naieign, is a woman who laid aside a preconceived opinion and tells here what she gain ed by doing so: "I was a sufferer from stomach trouble for. nearly a year. My appe tite was good, but if I gratified it was sure to: be miserable with all of the ills arising from indigestion, Swelling from excess gas and, some imes, intense pain. I slept very poorly; was extremely nervous and could hardly bear for anyone to walk across the floor. I began the day more tired than when I went to bed and I wprried over my house work un til it was done. "I continued to grow worse and my husband, who had heard of the good results of Peplac here in Raleigh, per suaded me to try a bottle. I never had any faith in advertised madiclnes, but I set aside my prejudice and am glad that I did, for the third or fourth day the disagreeable symptoms began to disappear. Now, at the beginning of my second bottle, I eat any and every thing, with no fear of the after ef fects. I sleep soundly, wake ud com- hple,tely refreshed and my work is done before I realize it. I gladly speak up for Peplac and feel that it is my duty to put others on the right track." Mrs. Doggett entertained a preju dice against advertised medicines as, perhaps, others have done, but she was broad minded enough to listen to reason and truth. She knew that there must be merit in a remedy that was doing such, marvellous work as Peplac was accomplishing right in her home city, and Peplac proved that it would do as much for her" as it had for others. .
