PEPSIRACTS ONE fIRSTOMACH
Without Value in Intestines Which
Are Alkaline in Reaction.

It is not becoming generally known
to physicians that the extended preva-
lence of indigestion and dyspepsia.
and the APPARENT inability of the medi-
cal profession at large to deal with
them. is in a large part due to the
exaggerated Importance attached to
pepsin in the treatment OF this GLASS
Of maIadies. Pepsin, It has been
found, will act only in an acid me
dunn. Alkaline destroys its value
On the other hand the intestines. the
function of which is to select the
nouishment OF eliminate the waste. are
always alkaline in reaction. Conse-
quently where there is fermentation
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 tntes-
tines to spread disease through the
system it is necessary that the fer
mentation be checked. and the fOrma-
ton OF poisonous gases stopped.
1t is important and gratifying to
know that any good nsutralizing mix
ture will do this. One of the best
OF these can be made up as follows:
One-half ounce sodium phosphate,
one ounce essence of sealmint. half
teasoonful good baking soda. enough
watts to make eight ounces. Dose,
two teaspoonfuls before each meal.
It Is said that this mixture acts di-
rectly upon the intestines, correcting
acidity, checking fermentation, and
placing them in proper condition tc

do. She does protest however, against
