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

Its Excessive Use.
Common soad is all right in it's place
and indispensable in the kitchen and for
cooking and washing purposes, but 1t
was never intended for a medicine, and
people who use it as such viii some day
regret it,
We refer to the common use of soda.
to relieve heartburn or sour stomach,
habit which thousands of people prac-
tice almost daily, and one which is
fraught with danger; moreover the soda
only gives temporary relief and in the
end the stomach trouble gets worse and
worse
The soda acts as a mechanical irri-
tant to the walls of the stomach and
bowels and cases are on record where
it accumulated in the inteSt1neS, causing
death by Inflammation or peritonitis.
DR.. Harlandson recommends as the
safest and surest cure for sour stomach
(acid dyspepsia) an excellent prepara-
ton sold by druggists under the name
of STARTS Dyspepsia Tablets. These
tablets are large 2O-grain lozenges, very
pleasant to taste and contain the nat
ural acids, peptones and digestive ele-
ments 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
cases of stomach arrangements and
finds them a certain cure not only for
sour stomach. but by promptly digest
ing the food they create a healthy appe-
tite, increase flesh and strengthen the
action of the heart and liver. They are
not a cathartic, but intended only for
stomach disease and weakness and will
be found reliable in any stomach trouble
except cancer of the stomach.
All druggists sell Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets at soc per package.

stomach weakness and their cure

Laun was an only child, and he felt
that his parents must be almost fran

home he was surprised to see strange
face at the door.

mother and father lived at 139 New

Siamese twins type, only IA much more

The other had we'll developed head

but no arms or legs other than the
merest suggestions in the shape OF little
fleshy protuberances. The two heads
were grown together at the backs, and
so firmly united and blended that you
could not tell where one began and the
other ended. One was male and the
other female. Tho monstrosity was
delivered by DIR. Williams, who took i,
