HEARTBURN AND SOUR STOMACH
Quickly Relieved and Permanently Cured
by Rydale's Stomach Tablets.

Heartburn and Sour Stomach are
caused by an acid or sour condition of
the stomach. Quick relief is obtained
from these distressing symptoms of
Indigestion by taking one or two
tablets when needed. Taken regularly
after meals they tone and strengthen the
stomach and enable it to digest the food
and prevent fermentation, which is the
cause of heartburn and sour stomach.

back and, drawing up its feet, waits for
the attack. And with bare hands it is
indeed a risky thing to come within a
foot of the bird when in this fighting
poise. The strong curved mandible is
ever ready for use, and the eight talons
can strike like lightning and in any direc-
tion at the will of the bird
Curiously enough, the herons assume
the same pose when wounded and unable
to escape. They turn flat upon their
backs, and although an inexperienced
person may be inclined to laugh at danger
from such bird, yet the creature is far
from easy to secure. The talons are of
course nothing but short, blunt claws;
but the slender toes have great clinging
power, and instantly become entangled
in anything they touch. Herein lies the
danger, for as soon as the bird has seized

Don't Sheer at the Goose

VIHO would be afraid of goose? Do we not jeer
w at child for running and screaming with fright
when irate gander is in pursuit? But if the jeering
person would sometime stand up to the attack of
wild Canada gander when it was fully angered at the
danger of its mate being disturbed he would
change his mind about the offensive powers of these
birds The wing of wild goose is possessed of great
muscular strength, indeed C must be to carry its
safely the hundreds of miles of land and
water which it traverses every year. Stand near
nest of these birds, and the male will at once ap-
proach, Kissing, and with head held low along the
ground Breaking into a with ever quickening
momentum, it comes full tilt, with wings half
expanded, and when about six feet away it half
leaps half flies, straight at ones head. Clnging
with the beak, it rains lightning like blows with the
bony bend of the wing.
l have seen keeper knocked fiat and helpless for
a half hour after such attack and have heard of
number of cases where persons arm or rib was
broken by goose or swan. One has no conception
of the force with which the blows be delivered
until he has felt them rafting on his ribs and
has pocketed his pride and fled in all haste. These
are brave birds, and defend their homes and mates
against anything, with equal fearlessness, whether
it is man. horse dog, or steam roller.

Some birds have the power to move their man

make the most of this in defending themselves.

beak and when it has secured good hold, it shuts
the mandbles tight and back and forth, cut

Three Men Against One Bird

WHEN confined by themselves, cassowaries are
" usually of mild and quiet temper; but their
full strength is reveale! when, for purposes of medical
treatment, they are entangled in a strong net and
thrown. Three men sometimes have their hands
full to keep the giant bird quiet; although it is
strange thing that when once the cassowary is
quered and when that it has chance against
such overwhelming Odds it submits to the inevita-
bic and offers resistance to the examination of
either its throat eyes, the may be. But
these birds naturally vicious, and attempt
to defend themselves only against imaginary
danger. A female cassowary will often become
tame that the keeper go to her and simply
by stroking her plumage and pressing downward get
the bird to squat without difficulty, utterng at the
time deep cultural grunts of satisfaction at
the apparently pleasant sensation of the caressing
hand of the keeper.
1t is very different with these birds when they are
fighting among themselves which they occasionally
do, especially at the breeding season. Two male
birds will approach each other in slow, roundabout
fashion each fully of the power of his opponent
to do harm, and each looking for advantage, like
skilled wrestlers or boxers. At last when within
striking distance will make quick motion, and
instantly both will have leaped upward kicking

creatures is synonymous with danger; but who
