NEW TREATMENT
FOR INDIGESTION
Recent Important Change to
Rational, Modern Meth
DDS Fully Explained.
NEW FACTS BECOMING KNOWN
Neutralizing Agents Superior to Pep
sin in Cases of Fermentation
and Gas in Intestines.
NEW FACTS BECOMING KNOWN

Physicians are coming to recognize
generally that better results are be-
ing obtained in the treatment of
chronic Indigestion by the use of al
kaline elixirs and neutralizing mixtures
than by continued administration of
pepsin That such should be the case
is not due to natural prejudice on the
part of patients against pepsin, as
an unsavory animal product, for too
few of them are aware of the nature
of pepsin to cause a limitation of its
usefulness on that account; nor is it
due to the undeniable fact that pep
sin loses its efficacy on being exposed.
1t seems to be largely due to the
spreading knowledge that pepsin is eff
fective only in an acid medium, and
then only upon proteids not upon
other food elements, as fats and
starches; and that it has, again, no eff
feet whatever in cases where the seat
of the trouble is in the intestines.
This is the definite limitation of pep
sin, that in order for it to do It's work
| the stomach must be acid in reaction
whereas the intestines. in which moss
obstruction land consequently mosi
leTHentalloAj occurs, - Always aka
| line.
On. the other hand, the neutralizine
agents correct the excess OF acid In
the stomach, stop the fermentation, and
thus put q check on the formation o.
gas in the intestines. Furthermore
they tend to increase the flow Of the
digestive secretions, and have q dis
/ tinct value on eliminating from th'
system the waste roducts of digestion
We give below the formula of on,
| of the best neutralizing mixtures tina
can be readily prepared by any ore a
home: sodium phosphate, " or; essenc'
of sealmint, l or, good baking sod;
Il teaspoonful. Mix these in an eight
lounce bottle, and add enough pure wat
er to fill the bottle. Take two teaspoon
fuls before each meal. 1t is said tina
by virtue of its neutralizing action, thi
simple inexpensive remedy will Civ
relief from gas within few minutes
and that it will actually cure the mos
obstinate cases of indigestion and dys
fpepsia within two or three weeks.
4 Anyone is free to use this formul
and make this medicine up for hfrnsel
at home. All the ingredients can b
had of any druggist at cost of abou
so or IS cents.

Our grandfathers learned directly
from nature what must now be learned
in school. Just now hygiene Is con-
sidered very important. A study of
zoology is one of the best helps in
learning how to take care of the body.
1t would be a very repulsiye thing, UNI
thought of by most people, TO dissect
human body. But by dissecting low
er animals whose bodies are like our
own we may learn the structure of
our bodies and how to take care of
them This is the most practical adj
vantage of the zoology course
There are, of course many other ad-
vantages in the science work, such as
the leasure and appreciative of nature
| it gives. All these things go to make
the science course one of the most
necessary as well as the most interest
ing in the high school

RED HOT CAMPAIGN
PROGRESSING IN CUBA

Washington, Aug. 11.-While voters
in the United States are struggling
with campaign issues red hot cam
paign will be in progress in Cuba Tor
the election of president. Ballot
ing will take place there on December
1, and the candidate will probably be
inaugurated next February when the
American troops will be withdrawn
and the provisional government un'
der Governor Magoon will be termi-
mated.
Returns from the provisional and
municipal elections held in Cuba last
Sunday were both a surprise and
shock to the officials of the state and
war departments. While Governor
Magoon was instructed to maintain
an absolutely impartial attitude in his
dealing with the contentious Cuban
politicians, there is feeling that
from the viewpoint of the Washington
government, the success of the Lib
eral party would have been more ac-
ceptable.
The despatch from Havana says
that the Liberals are trying to show
a fusion of its two factions, headed
respectively by Alfred Zayas and Jose
Miguel Gomez is thought to presage
a bitter fight for the presidency in the
event that that these two factions
get together to overcome the advant-
age the Conservatives seem to have
gained
With the two factions of the Liberal
party united on the one hand, and the
Conservatives encouraged by their
successes in the recent elections,
Cuban politics would be divided ex-
actly as 1t was at the time of the re-
cent Intervention, when President
Palma resigned and the United States
was compelled to intervene, under
the Platt amendment in order to pre-
vent a civil war.
During President Palma's admins
tration, there were three principal
political parties, the Moderates, the
Nationals, and small Independent rad
ical party. Palma declined to affi-
late with either of these organiza-
tions and endeavored to be impartial
in the distribution of patronage. Find
ing that attitude impracticable, he
took the side of the Moderate party
and Nationals, and a group of dis
affected Moderates, formed the Lib
eral party.
With the Cuban people divided
upon practically the same alignment
as they were at the time Of the revo-
luton of 1906, government officials
believe the new government and the
election next winter will be set by
many dangers and that it may be
short-lived.
