A stomachful of undigested food is
about as unhealthy mass as one can
well imagine.
What can be done with it
There it stays. 1t won't digest. 1t
churns up fermentS and decays; becomes

causes great pain and deep-seated dis
orders.
In order to change all this, take Shaker

1t stops fermentation and decay at
once, so that no more poisons are Gre
ated.
Itclears the stomach of poiSons already
there. 1t helps it to turn the food that

The Matter of Malaria.

The prevalence of an unusual amount
ofillness due to malarial fever in Shep-
herdstown and the adjacent districts
lying along the Potomac has led to
much speculation as to the cause Of
the outbreak. The theory that the
damaged condition of the dam at the
cement mill below town is directly re-
sponsible for the state Of affairs, while
held by many, will not stand investi-
cation. Had the washouts occurred
this spring large amount of rank
vegetation would have been left by
the receding waters to decay under
the summer sun, and the resulting
miasmatic vapors arising could be held
accountable. The fact that the dam
has been damaged for several years and
the spring freshets have cleansed the
banks, and we now have instead of the
sluggish stream, existing when the river
was damned back, a rapidly flowing
current, which reduces the danger to
the lowest degree, shows that the cause
must be sought elsewhere. 1t is well
known that malarial fever has its origin
in the decay of the rank vegetation
Astounding in low, swampy ground.
The unprecedented rainfall of the
present season has brought about such
a condition in all the low lands, and
to this and nothing else can be attrib-
uted the present outbreak, which is
likely to last for some time.
The results of the wet season will
not be entirely baneful, for that more
dreaded visitor, typhoid fever, which
always Aourishes most after dry sea-
son, will not prevail with It's accus-
toned frequency, and of the two evils
we have been given the less. About
the only rational means to lessen the
danger of becoming affected by the
fever-bearing vapors is to take a daily
ration of quinine for the next few
months and the exercise Of reasonable
care in keeping up ones general health,
as it is well known that persons in
rundown condition are far more sus-
ceptible than the robust
