The Downfall of John Barclay.— Many things were said about the "crash" of John Barclay's shoe store. People attributed his downfall to this and that, but there are only a few who know the truth of the matter. • The root of it all was indigestion. It ruined his health, affected his nerves, and eventually became a negative force in the business. His gloominess and bad temper turned people from the' store, and finally he had to wind up his business. Neglected indigestion was responsible. Had Barclay taken AntiJVciclo —the great indigestion cure—he would still be the owner of a fine business.
