Cafarrh of the Sf0mach

= This is one of the most common affections
of the stomach and may be from an extern
sion downwards of catarrh of the throat.
or it may arise from catarrhal germs car
ried in with the food. The symptoms are:
Nausea on arising in the morning, some
times vomiting belchng of gas. water
brash: there Is dizziness. a coated tongue
and' constipation; sometimes thick slime
is spat up; there Is pain after eating with
headache and bloatins. sour stomach, pal
pitation of the heart often occurs; some
times "a sensation of weight on the stomach
is felt and breathing Is difficult.
These are the prominent symptoms Of
stomach disease due to catarrh. and If not
arrested in time the disease extends to the
bowels liver, kidneys and rectum.
Stomach Bl0at
Is another common trouble. especially in
women. This bloating comes on after
meals. and Is due to fermentation of the
food with formation of gas. Constipation
is usually present and nervous disorders
quickly come on. The specialist OF the
English and German Specialists never fails
to permanently cure this trouble.
Nervous Dyspepsia
This form of stomach trouble is met in
people of a highly nervous temperament.
The nervous debility extends to the Stom-
ach and impairs the nerves of digestion.
People who suffer from this form of gastric
trouble have much pain over the.stomach
and sometimes palpitation of the heart
occurs and is very alarming. The great
irritabilty of this class of sufferers Is due
entirely to this nervous turmoil constantly
going on in the stomach.
Bilious Indigestion
This condition is one of the most distress
ing of all stomach troubles. 1t Is caused by
a flow of bile into the stomach owing to
some obstruction in the bile channels. Ca
tarrh of the bile ducts is one of the most
common causes of this complaint. The bile
on entering the stomach disturbs the di-
gestive functions and upsets things gen.
orally This bile must be carried off and
a brisk purgative should be used at once.
The great value of purgatives in all stom-
ach, liver and bowel troubles is their power
to cleanse out the channels and give ma
ture a chance to restore normal conditions.

THE HOUSE OF sTE1NwAY
The Modern Atlas of the Entire
Music Trade

The firm of Steinway & Sons have done
more during the long period Of trade de-
preston to hold up the spirits of the music
trade than any half dozen houses put to-
gether. They have set an example that
others might emulate with exceeding
profit to themselves. 1t has not only been
line upon line and precept upon precept
with them, but they have practiced what
they preached. In all the dark hours OF
the many months that distressed the trade
of the nation, the house of Steirway B
Sons never once lost courage. They never
once exhibited any signs of fear. They
never once weakened in the matter OF
prices, nor did they once ever so much ~
think of sacrificing the dignity or the
quality of their product. In this way they
inspired hope and bravery into the bosoms
of many weaker manufacturer. The
house Of Steinway never forgot that they
make a piano that commands the admira.
tion of the civilized world. And what has
been the result? Every American piano-
maker has a greater admiration for the
Steinway piano than he ever had before.
Every American pianomaker has greater
respect for the house Of Steinway & snns
than before. Each one realizes thatthfy
did vast deal for the trade; that they
kept up it's morale and that perhaps II

How Stynach Troubles Are Cured
BY the Eng1sh and German Expert Specialists
The first step In the cure of diseases of the
stomach is TO make a thorough eXamina-
tion Of the stomach and neighboring or
ganS, to see that the trouble is not due to
tumors growths or complications from
other organs. Your family physician may
overlook this important first step, but the
English and German Expert Specialists
never do. Their methods are thorough
from first to last.
The next step, having found that the
trouble is all in the stomach, is TO correct
all errors in.diet. This is accomplished by
noting the action of the different foods.
Whether they sour or ferment or distress
the stomach. And also noting the condi-
tion of the food as II leaves the rectum.
Food passing through undigested indicates
serious stomach trouble.
The next step in the cure of stomach trou-
BILE Is to bring the organ and its digestive
power into full action. Everything that
nders the free action must be removed
The catarrhal scum that lines its walls, the
little plugs of mucous and matter that stop
up the mouths of the glands which secrete
the gastric juice, must all be removed and
carried off, and the membrane must be
healed and cured of its infiamed character.
Here is where the skillful specialist comes
to your aid He understands every feature
of this complicated organ, and he goes at
1t like master conscious of his power to
heal 1t. The remedies are now applied to
the naked walls of the stomach. Each lit
tie gastric follce Is healed and toned up,
and the lining membrane of the stomach it
self is healed and soothed back to its ma
tural condition. It's a new organ now,
ready for meal, which 1t attacks with a
vim and relish that means nothing but per-
feet digestion.
Stomach Trouble
Can be cured IL you go to specialist who
understands this wonderful organ and its
Ills and ailments. Much has been left un-
written here regarding this subject, but
enough has been written to help sufferers
find way of relief. and, after all, that's
If your stomach troubles you come and
talk to the stomach specialist of the Eng
lish and German Expert Specialists. 1t
won't cost you a cent to advise with them.
