iitI.s, tubes and still further impedes
the flow, ana worse still. 1t mixes with
the scanty supply and thus dilutes ana
alters 1t.
Science now says that IL the stomach
Is all right all the organs VIII be
right, because 1t is impossible for them
to stage of order long when the stom-
nch does its duty. A weakened organ is
simply an organ out of repair, and 1t
will not stay out OF repair If the digcs-
ton Is right. The sober, common sense
Judgment of every one probably tells
them that II they could eat heartily OF
nutritious food and then perfectly d.
gest it. they would get strong and well:
When your health suffers think OF
your digestion. II that is faulty there
probably lies the whole cause of trou-
BILE. One thing is certain. no perma-
nent relief can be looked for until the
stomach Is made right. If you find a
remedy that will give you sound d.
gestion, you viii not have to do any
thing else. Nature will do the rest.
Modern research shows that an effec-
tive stomach remedy must do these
things:
1t must strengthen the muscular
walls OF the stomach, giving them the
power OF contraction necessary for the
proper kneading and mixing of the
food. 1t must reduce all Inflammation
and stop the secretion of mucus so that
there may be free flow of gastric juice.
1t should also stimulate the secretion
of digestive fluids so that at all times
there will be an adequate supply for
the prompt digestion of food.
Thousands of people are saying that
Puritana, DR.. Dixi Crosby's great for
mula, is just such remedy. 1t relieves
catarrhal conditions of the stomach in
twenty-four hours: causes an abund
ant secretion of gastric juice, and thus
hastens the digestion and absorption of
food. AS a result. all the organs receive
proper nutrition and the patient is not
only relieved of stomach troubles, but
''cured from head to foot"

fEl A section of the inner surface of the
Stomach, greatly Masnified The dark
spots are the mouths Of the little tubes
through which the gastric juices come.
The human stomach is an elongated
curved pouch, holding, on an average,
about five pints. 1t has strong muscu-
lar walls and an inner muscular coat,
which is capable of motion The organ
is lined with mucous membrane-the
same membrane that lines the mouth,
nose, throat and bowels. The mem
brane is thickly dotted with little pits
(see e in the cut). These are the
mouths of minute tubes that have di-
rect connection with the blood vessels
Of the stomach. Through them come
the gastric juices that digest food.
When food enters healthy stomach
the muscuar walls contract on it and
knead, roll and mix it. The food is kept
moving so that every portion will come
in contact with the gastric juices pour
ing out of the little tubes. These
fluids soften and dissolve what we eat.
and thus prepare it for absorption.
The nutrition of the body depends en-
tirely on perfect digestion, and perfect
digestion depends largely on the rapid
secretion of an abundant quantity of
healthy gastric juice. If the stomach is
to do it's work thoroughly, it must have
the muscular power to keep the food
mixing and moving. or else portions of
1t will remain undigested and become
source of danger to us. There must be
an ample supply of gastric juice secret
ed-frOm fourteen to twenty pounds
daily. This returns to the blood when
its mission is ended. If "a scant amount
of gastric juice is formed. digestion is
not only delayed or prevented, but the
germs always present in the stomach
set up fermentation or decay. Poisons
are created-frequently enough to kill
US If they were all absorbed.
DIR. Frank Woodbury.. A. NJ, M. D.,
says in his recent treatise on Dyspep-
sia: Zone of the most common causes
Of digestive disorder Is inflammation
OF the stomach accompanied by exces-
sive secretion of mucus, forming what
is usually termed gastric catarrh."
This is indeed, the cause Of a large
share of the cases of chronic indiges-
! tion, and the reason is simple. Refer to
the cut and notice the magnified sec.
ton Of, the lining of the stomach. The
dark spots are the mouths of the little
tubes through which the gastric juices
enter the stomach Inflammation

partly or wholly closes them, thus stop

First Market Matters.
MONEY NEEDED FOR SEWERS.
How the street Committee Happens
10 be without Funds for Them.

IL is pretty well established that the
state of affairs in Richmond as to the
extension or repair Of sewers Is very
serious. The city has no funds at all at
present available for sewer work, no
matter how urgent a case may arise.
The bursting of a cuvert IS a very COM
monplace occurrence, and it will proba-
bly, happen as soon as this long spell
Of drought comes TO an end.
Last year the Council issued So, 900 in
bonds, the proceeds of which was to be
devoted to sewer work. The Finance
Committee did not sell these bonds Coz
business reasons. but the Street Com
mittee went ahead and had between
$4,000 and 81 900 worth of sewer work
done. which was paid for by the City
Auditor upon the strength of the Coun-
ellis action in issuing the bonds. This
still leaves deficit to this extent, as the
Council has not since made any appro-
priation for culverts, and the Street
Committee has no money TO DO any
sewer work with.
The mode Of procedure in the event Of
bursting sewers this year has been TO
build a barricade around them and wait
until the Street Committee meets, when
repairs are ordered to be made out of the
fund intended to be used solely TO Keep
the streets in order. This appropriation
IS extremely meagre, on account OF the
condition Of the citys finances, and the
streets suffer by the divergence Oh THIS
fund to the repair of sewers
Not only is the health of the city
bound to suffer from stoppages in the
sewers. which cannot be remedied
promptly on account Of the lack OF
money. but there is also grave danger
that suits for damages may result from
injury to life and limb by the breaks
which occur and are not repaired, some
times for several days.
People claim that in case or TINS
kind bonds should be promptly solo, as
the health OF the citizens is OF greater
concern than any question OF money.
Another phase of the case Is that houses
cannot be built, or. rather, parties VINO
wish TO erect buildings in the West Enn
will not do so, as they know that II VIII
no impossible for them to get sewer CON
nection. there being no money aVahapie
for the purpose
