Acid Dyspepsia Nervous People Are Frequent Suffer. CTS From Too Much HydrOchIoric
 Acid In The Stomach.
A Trial Package of Stuart's Dyspepsia
 Tablets Sent Free.

"Sour Stomach" or acid dyspepsia l is form of indigestion in which en- tirely too much hydrochIoric acid is secreted by the stomach. A sour taste in the mouth is the most com mon symptom of acid dyspepsia; and ] the saliva, which is normally alkaline, I is found, when tested, to be changed
 to acid, or just the opposite of what | it should be, and is a state of the secretion which causes rapid and ex- tensive destruction of the teeth. Everything eaten turns more or
 less sour in the stomach, but sweets and acid fruits are far worse in this
 respect than other foods. If the eructation of liquids from the stom- ach occurs, they have such an ex- tremely sour taste as to set the teeth on edge.
 Hydrochloric acid is an important constituent in the gastric juice, but
 when too much of it is secreted, it does positive harm to the mucous lining of the stomach; and when acid dyspepsia is long continued it often sets up chronic gastritis, gastric ulcer, and other serious diseases. The pre-
 mature loss of all the teeth has been caused by acid saliva, which was de- pendent upon the excessively acid condition of the stomach. STUARTS DYSPEPSIA TABLETS,
 Eesides furnishing pure, aseptic pep sin to the stomach to dilute the eX- cess of hydrochloric acid, and to di-
 gest proteids and albuminous foods very thoroughly, also contain bismuth subnitrate and calcium carbonate,
 which are antagonistic to the acid, and therefore neutralize the effect of the excessive amount of acid in the stomach, and the continued use of these tablets will change the pervert- ed condition of the secretions to a normal state
 If you are suffering from hyper
 chlor-hydria," as physicians term it,
 or in other words, acid dyspepsia,
 mouth, with acid eructations or heart
 burn, begin at once the use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, using one or two after each meal, or as may be re-
 Guired, and the same quantity at re- tiring time, for if this trouble is al- lowed to run on, it may cause serious organic changes in the stomach There are cases on record where the lining of the stomach has been completely eaten away through perverted action of the secretions.
 Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets have
 been tried in all forms of indigestion and dyspepsia, with unfailing suc- cess, so that no matter which form you may be suffering from, the quick est way to bring about a cure is through the use of these powerful stomach tablets.
 Secure from your druggist a fifty cent box, and get cured of acid dys- pepsia, or whatever form of indiges- ton you may be suffering. Also send us your name and address for free sample Address F. A. Stuart Com pany, 15O Stuart Bldg, Marshall, Mich

PREDICTS PANIC
Prof. Carver, Who Foretold 1907 Disaster, Thinks Food Problem Will Bring Worse One.

Boston, Jan. 31.-Prof. Thomas Nel- son Carver of Harvard. who predicted the panic of 1907, is quoted in a local newspaper as saying that the high prices of foodstuffs and the meat boy colt are only the forerunners of great financial panic which must come in a year or two.
 T will stake my reputation as an economist that in 1912 or 1913 this country will undergo one of the worst panics in it's history" he went on. s"The supply of foodstuffs in this coun- try is becoming gradually, but surely, less than the demands of the public, and in my mind in not many years the United States will of necessity be obliged to import a large quantity of it's meat and other foodstuffs.'

Residents of the Twelfth district are very proud of the fact that they nave several moving picture shows, two en- zine houses. several lodges, four me schools, and are about to have two voting districts. Some of the old tim CTS claim that if the borough of west Stratford mad not become part of the city the section would have grown just the same and 1t would have been electing it's own Mayor now instead of only an Alderman to the Common Council. One old resident said: we surely would have been able to make a better contract with the Hydraulic Co. than Bridgeport did. We possibly would have gotten as good contract as Stratford which has a ten year con- tract and gets water for it's schools, public offices, and fire hydrants for nothing. Now the Twelfth district IS part of Bridgeport which has a 20 year water contract and pays for water used in the schools, fire engine houses, city hall, police stations and fire hy- drants. Little Stratford where the water consumption is not a drop in the bucket compared with Bridgeport. is able to make a better contract than Bridgeport"
