NEW ZEALANDER CREATES
BIG EXCITEMENT IN MACON
Scientist and Explorer, Who
Dealt Deathblow to Zeppe

fenseless Women and
Children of London, Stirs
People of Macon
i
WIFE DECORATED BY
THE KING OF ENGLAND
His Greatest Discovery,
However, to Cause Even
Bigger Sensation and Will
Affect Millions of Men and
Women Everywhere
Macon has never witnessed such
i spectacle as may be seen every
tay at Third and Cherry streets,
where John Pomeroy, the remark
ible New Zealander, is meeting the
public and explaining his unique
theories.
It would be hard to estimate
just how many people call to see
Mr. Pomeroy during a single day.
The store where he makes his head
quarters seems to have become the
tnecca for hundreds of peop.e
anxious to see him and to hear '
him tell his bewildering, but con- I
vincing theories. j
Mr. Pomeroy has gained a world- 1
wide reputation for his scientific =
genius, and especially by giving the .
Allies the means to stop the das- '
tardly German air raids on the (
poor, defenseless women and chil- ,
d’en of Gordon and the entire sur- j
rounding country.
The genius of the war's greatest ,
romance, the man who received .
1125,000 from the British govern- ,
tnent as a partial recognition of the
obligation of the nation to him, the |
"Saviour of ‘ London,” the man I
Whose wifo was decorated by King
Geo-ge of England personally for
“self sacrifice and meritorious ser
vice” in making up the Ist 5,000
Pomeroy bu’le*s herself when
others feared to go near them on
account of their high explosive
power, the man who could be
toasted and feted by royalty and
the no:, flit y wherever he goes, if
he so desired, came to Georgia un
heralded.
“les, it is true,” said his secre
tary when seen at the Hotel Demp
sey in Macon several days ago,
"that Mr. Pomeroy is the man who
created the explosive bullet that put
an end to the Zeppelin raids on
England.
"Words can but weakly picture
the terrors inflicted by those air
monsters of incarnate destruction,
the Zeppelins.
“Imagine, if you can. a quiet,
home-loving community in England.
“It is nightfall- mothers tucking ,
away their precious, helpless little
tots for the night. Shades drawn. ,
lights burning cheerfully, and the <
older children gathered round the <
table for the evening’s study hour, i
“Suddenly comes a tearing, mad- i
dening crash, rending the quiet <
peace, followed by the horrible <
mingle of screams of terror and ]
the agonizing cries of the mangled i
victims. ,
A deva st at i nr
devastating, death-reaping
bomb has been dropped into this
peaceful community of inoffensive,
helpless women and children, from
a huge Zeppelin manned by a crew
of r. lids whose greatest joy lies in
deedo of unspeakable inhumanity.
“Until Mr. Pomeroy stopped the
Zeppelins from ravaging England,
the people of Loudon were terror
stricken and afraid to venture out
from their places of hiding, know
ing that at any moment a German
bomb might fall right into their
midst and annihilate them. Imagine
such a condition in one of our own
cities, and then see the gratitude
of the people when the menace of
Instant death is taken away. That
is how the people of London and
entire England worshipped this
man when they saw the Zeppelins
brought down in flames one by one,
as fast as they came from their
haunts across the Sea. Everywhere
could be heard the now familiar
slogan: ‘Good old Pomeroy, we love
you,’ as each German air raider
fell, never to harass the defense
less women and children of civiliza
tion again.
“Mr. Pomeroy does not consider
this his greatest achievement,
however,” continued his secretary.
“The bullet was just an incident in
connection with his life work. ,
which has been the conservation of i
human life and alleviating the suf- i
sering. For years he has traveled 1
all over the Antipodes investigating i

and t -sting the wonderful cu.ativ,
properties of the plants that grow
on the South Sea Islands. Some of
these plants were known to the na
tive chiefs; others possessed prop
erties of which scientists had not
dreamed. lie made many wonder
ful discoveries, the greatest of
which has pr’oven to make men and
women enjoy the robust health na
ture intended. At the time of this
| discovery, the scientist was almost
a physical wreck, but soon after,
by the aid of his own treatment,
he was able to regain his former
robust health, which he has enjoyed
ever since.”
To use Mr. Pomeroy's own words
—“disease is just like the Zeppe
lin. It is just as heartless and
cruel, and even more destructive
than the murderous airships of the
ruthless Hun. It is also, as I have
demonstrated, just as vulnerable in
most cases to the right kind of
treatment 1 have perfected a
medicine that conquers stomach
trouble, and the ills that result
therefrom, just as surely as my bul
let freed England from the terrors
of the assassins of the air. To my
mind, the bullet is a small and in
significant contribution to human
ity compared with my medicine,
which is, as surely as I live, des
tined to free multiplied thousands
from one of the most deadly and
cruel enemies of the human race.”
Only recently,” said his secre
tary, “at the suggestion of a grout,
of business men and capitalists, he
consented to permit the use of his
product as a commercial proposi
tion, but then only when ho was
convinced that in no other way
could he hope to reach and benefit
hundreds of thousands cf people
who really needed his medicine It
was shown to him that he could
only reach a limited number
’ through his own personal work,
, whereas if his medicine were
i placed within reach of those who
need it, everyone would have the
‘ opportunity to benefit from his
great discovery. However Mr
■ Pomeroy insisted that with’every
bottle there would also be given a
guaiantee that the purchaser is to
be returned his monev if satisfac
tory results are not obtained.”
It is reported that quite a few of
the leading druggists in this sec
tion have already taken steps to
get Mr. Pomeroy’s famous modi
cine, which is called Puratone. so
the people here will have the op
portunity to benetit by it the same
as the people of the big cities
where Mr. Pomeroy is visiting
“Everywhere Mr. Pomeroy drives
home the basic truth,” remarked
his secretary, "that the. stom
ach is the organ that governs the
general health of all mankind, and
it is his theory that if the stomach
is toned up and strengthened, and
its functions properly directed it
follows, as surely as the night ’fol
ows day. that the other organs of
the system will respond and that
robust health and strength will be
restored to the weak and sicklv. *
“He is surrounded by a mass of
data right now,” continued his sec
retary. and you can depend upon
it that the results of his work will
be startling disclosures that will
make men think.”

is a school which never ceases
to educate its pupils. “The
learned,’’ it has been said, “are those
who have studied in books; the think
ers, geniuses, enlighteners of the
world and liberators of the human
race ai'e those who have read direct
from the pages of life itself.”
Every mother is reading direct
from the pages of life itself in bear
ing children and rearing a family.
She is learning lessons as valuable
as any she may gi m, for < very wom
an who has experienced motherhood !
has a glimpse of life's great mean
ings—wider and deeper than is possi
ble without this experience.
Every child has the right to a hap-
Py, joyous childhood. Parental un
derstanding of the child—of his nor
mal conditions, of th'e laws of health
and growth, of the inner life—is nec
essary for those who fulfill the sac
red trust of parenthood and for the
perfect development of children for
good citizenship and life.
Blighted lives, physically, mental
ly, and spiritually, are often the re
sults of mistaken methods in bring
ing up children.
Good but weak parents with aim
less, drifting methods may have as
bad influence on their children as
persons whose characters are posi
tively bad.
The science of child nurture is the
most important of all sciences. In
fant mortality may be reduced more
than half by education of mothers in
baby hygiene. -
The home is the greatest educa
tional force in the world, but it has
never been fully equipped to carry
on the great work for which it is des
tined.
The home has the child entirely!
within its care for the first six years ’
of life, and fully nine-tenths of the ■
time after school days begin.
Believing that mothers and fathers I
who have gained experience through j
parenthood would welcome sugges-)
tions to methods for the fullest
development of the physical, mental,;
and spiritual life of children, the
Home Education Division of the Bu
reau of Education recommends for

A shelf of books on. child care and

mother’s equipment for'her work.
The lawyer with his library, the
physician with his medical library,
the teacher continually studying how
