The consequences of a diseased condi-
ton of the stomach and digestive and
nutritive system are most disastrous to
the whole body. One by one every
organ may become involved. The mis-

cases of "stomach trouble" and the evils
resulting from it have been cured by Or.

ofeach sha IL disconnected by horizonal con-
Meeting rods. The discs or cranks between
the stanchions are five feet in length from
the center of the shaft 10 the center of
the crank pins. Main rods connect with
these pins and with crossheads overhead
As the cranks on the outside of the
stanchions revolve all of the discs or
cranks located between frames also re-
volve, imparting a reciprocating move
ment to all of the crossroads overhead

stroke all of the subsections downwards
offer practically no resistance in the up
ward movement to the atmosphere. In
the downward stroke all of the subsec-
tions close automatically. generating the
required bearing for the support of the
ship.
In the center OF the structure directly
under the pilot house, is located an air
cylinder containing piston and rod. con-
nected with the lower. and braced secure
iy by radial ribs projecting upward into
horizontal disc, filling the lower part -of
the air cylinder, the lower part of which
is in line with the shell. Air is com
pressed by a specially buff apparatus. and
stored in a reservoir. Pipe connections
are made between this apparatus reser-
voir and a valve In the pilot house. When
all is In readiness for a start the pilot or
engineer moves the lever of the valve into
service position. Compressed air nils the
space between the cylinderhead and the
piston. causing the rise of the cylinder
raising the entire structure from the
ground. Consequently the ship. In case
OF wind or gale will swing into position,
facing the breeze, which will facilitate
the ascent. When the ship stands thus
suspended parallel to the direction of the
wind. the engineer throws open the throt-
tie, putting the engine In operation and
causing the ship TO rise into the air with
the ease of an eagle. As soon as the ship
Is well under way the valve lever Is
moved TO the release position. which shuts
OF the reservoir supply and connects the
cylinder with the atmosphere. exhausting
