for heartburn and dyspepsia, and the aro-
matte spirits of ammonia is especially pre-
pared for these troubles. Ten drops of it in
a wine glass of water are often great relief.
The spirits of ammonia can be taken in the
same way, but 1t Is not as palatable. In adj
dition to all these uses, the effect of ammo

two men or two women, otherwise equal,

that he has already between twenty and
thirty fine calves dropped within few

luck. if luck it may be called, is really un.
