It was decided not only to recom- mend the bill for passage, but an non y provision is to be written Meanwhile the committee directed Senators O. H.

WAS MY BEST INVESTMENT’ “I've answered a lot of questions lately about what it is that made such ® great change in my locks and I tell everybody it is all due to Sargon. It’s HENRY SCHAFFER made me feel twenty years younger. “It was the best investment I ever made when I bought Sargon, for my stomach had been giving me trouble for eight months. I felt completely ‘let down’ and didn't have a bit of life or pep. My appetite was poor and I suffered continually with indigestion and couldn't sleep more than an hour or two at a time. “I heard people everywhere talking about the wonderful results they were getting from Sargon and Sargon Soft Mass Pills and they do exactly what everybody says. Why, I haven't felt so well in years. I eat three hearty meals a day and never have indiges- tion, gas or a trace of pain or dis- tress. My nerves are steady and my sleep is so sound I get up every morn- ing feeling rested and full of jenergy. “Sargon and Sargon Soft Mass Pills are different from anything I ever heard of and you can tell from the very first few doses that they are do- 1 you good. I wouldn't be without em.” The above statement was made re- cently by Henry Schaffer, 292 Cathe- dral Place, St. Paul, Minn. a well known property owner and investor of that city.
