DANGER IN SODA.
Serious Results Sometimes Fol-
low its Excessive Use.

Common soda is all right in its
place and indispensable in the
kitchen and for cooking aud wash
ing purposes. but ii was never in
tended for medicine, and people
who use it as such will some day re-
greet it.
We refer to the common use of
soda to relieve heartburn our sour
stomach, habit which thousands of
people practice almost daily, and
one which is franght with danger;
moreover the soda only gives tenn
porary relief and in the end the
stomach trouble gets worse and
worse.
The soda acts as a mechanical
irritant to the walls of the stomach
and bowels and cases are on record
where it accumulated in the intes-
tines, causing death by infamma-
ton or peritonitis.

New Orleans, Dec. 26.-Elmer S., two
