DANGER IN SOFA.
Serious Results Sometimes Follow Its
Excessive Use.

Excessive Use.
Common soda is right in its place and
indispensable in the kitchen aud for
cooking and washing purposes, but it
was never intended for Il medicine,
and people who use it as such will
some day regret it.
We refer to the use of soda
to relieve heartburn or sour stomach,
"A habit which thousands of people
practice almost daily, and n which is
fraught with danger; moreover the
soda only gives temporary relief aud
in the end the stomach trouble gets
worse and worse.
The soda acts as mechanical iri liant
to the walls of the stomach and bowles
and cases are ON record where it &C.
cumulaeed in the intestines, causing
death by inflammation or peritonitis.
Dr.. Harlandson recommends As the
safest amp surest cure for sour stomach
(acid dyspepsia an excellent prepare
ton sold by druggists under the name
of Sluart's Dyspepsia Tablets. These
tablets are large 30 grain luzengcs,
very pleasant to taste and contain the
natural acids, peploncs, and digestive
elements essential to good digestion,
and when taken after meals they digest
the food perfectly and promptly before
it has time to ferment, sour and poison
the blood and nervous system.
DR.. Wuerth states that he invariably
uses Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets in all
eases of stomach arrangements and
finds them u certain cure not only for
sour stomach, but by promptly digest.
ing the food they create u healthy APP.
petite, increase flesh and strengthen
the action of the heart and liver. They
are not n cathartic, but intended only
for stomach diseases and weakness
and will be found reliable in any
stomach trouble except cancer Of the
stomach.

Tablets at scots, per package.

Now that the waters of the Niagara
have been made tributary to human
enterprise. IL may he Interesting to note
that IL similar undertaking is contem-
plated in Egypt. The general inspector
of public WORKS, Mr.. Prompt, has just
submitted to the Egyptian government
the results Of his Investigations during
the last eight months relative to the
utilization of the c%ataracts of the Nile
for agricultural and mechanical pur-
poses. His project includes an inn
mrnNr reservoir in upper Egypt which
VIII permit the culture of cane sugar
and cotton in the place of cereals. In
the furthcrancc of the realization of
this project he proposes to establish an
electric power station near Assuan,
where IA fall of forty-five feet will be
utilized. This station would furnish
10000 horse power, besides furnishing
800, 900 900 cubic yards of water for ir'
rigation. A tifteen-foot dam is to be-
built across the Nile just above Cairo,
which would furnish both light and
motive power at a very low price to the
Egyptian capital. The cost of the en-
tire project is estimated at q, 600, 900,
which will very likely be raised by pri
vate subscription.
