Peptic ulcers occur in the stomach, duodenum and jejunum. Those parts of the anatomy are to the surgeon what a washbowl, water trap and waste pipe are to a master plumber. The surgeon can remove parts of the stomach, duodenum and jejunum. He can remove any one of them entirely if necessary.

Both grew up fighting the old tobacco trust, both, until recently, were heads of small independent companies producing chiefly pipe and chewing tobaccos. In the early days of the century when American Tobacco Co. was gobbling up independents in the South, William T. Reed was one of its bitterest foes.
