Man who is daily meeting crowds of
local people at the City Drug Store.
1141 Washington St. this city:
"Gly-Cas is the first medicine I
have ever found that was able to
help me.” continued Mr. McNeil
"For two years I had been in failing
health. I was badly constipated
lost my appetite and my entire sys-
tem was clogged with poisons. What
little I did eat caused me terrible
pain afterwards. My stomach sim-
ply refused to digest my foods prop-
erly and after every meal I was
sure to suffer with indigestion gas
and bloating. A seeming lump
would form in the pit of my stom-
ach and regardless of what I tried
I could not find relief in anything.
I could not get a good night’s sleep
was restless all of the time and so
discouraged as I continued to grow
worse daily. But finally upon hear-
ing so much praise for this new Gly-
Cas I was persuaded to give it . a
trial and soon I could notice a great
improvement in my condition.”
".As yet I am still on my first box
of Gly-Cas but I am like a new per-
son in the way I feel." continued Mr.
McNeil. "1 did not realise a medi-
cine as remarkable as Gly-Cas had
been discovered. I am already eat-
ing and enjoying any kind of food
I wish without any iU effects after-
wards. Those stubborn attacks of
Indigestion have left me pains no
longer trouble me after eating and
I feel fine. I even sleep good
throughout the night new strength
and energy has been given me and
I am enjoying the best health I have
had in two years. Gly-Cas is a real
blessing to suffering people and ev-
eryone should realise hw fortun-
ate they are in being able to get a
medicine with such outstanding
ability."

Her formal letter prompted Secre-
tary Hull to dispatch immediate or-
ders to Ambassador Dodd to express
“emphatic comment” to the Ger-
man foreign office and to say the
United States government was
amazed at the fierceness of the Ger-
man press attack.
It was understood recent articles
published by Der Angrlff a leading
Berlin Journal were particularly of-
fensive to American officials.
In responsible quarters it was ex-
plained that the secretary’s instruc-
tions to Dodd did not constitute a
protest but comment which would
be calculated to have much the
same effect.
Hull tendered to the German em-
bassy this government's apologies for
LaGuardia s remarks after Dr. Hans
Thomsen counselor of the embassv.
had protested to the state depart-
ment that LaGuardia insulted
