1t is now becoming generally known
to physicians that the extended preva-
lence of indigestion and dyspepsia,
and the apparent inability OF the med
ical profession at large to deal with
them, is in large part due to the
exaggerated Importance attached to
pepsin in the treatment Of this class
of maladies. Pepsin, it has been
found, will act only in an acid me-
dunn. Alkalinity destroys its value.
On the other hand, the intestines, the
function of which is to select the
nourishment and eliminatesthe waste,
are always alkaline in reaction. Con-
sequently where there is fermenta-
tion and gas in the intestines. pepsin
is absolutely inert and valueless.
In order that this poison and waste
matter be thoroughly eliminated, in
stead Of being given out by the intes-
tines to spread disease thru the
system. It Is necessary that the fer

winter have grown out Of it, wet and

This root "wad" Is in the Sanskrit as

Our Danish and Swedish cousins

probably In the vicinity of Miles City.
The line would run from Platte to
Chamberlain, and crossing the river at
this point, would bear northwest, thru
