are various remedies prescribed for
this condition, but the easiest, most

a combination of simple laxative
herbs with pepsin known to druggists

Dr. ]. R. Minahan left Green Bay

them that was possible.
Mrs. Minahan will accompany my
sister and myself to our home in
Green Bay, where she will remain for
couple of months or until she is
fully recuperated.
Mrs. Minahan and her sister-in-

to endure the dreadful exper, ence.
The Minahans had planned to safl
from Queenstown. from which port
they boarded the Titanic, on another
steamer. Owing to the coal strike,
the schedule of boats was changed,
leaving the Titanic the only one con-
yenient for the Wisconsin people to
sail on.

Bad Teeth Go win Good Brains.

An English scientist has pointed out
that there are signs of a steady de-
generacy in two sets OF organs vital to
the well being OF the human race, and
the fall is most marked among the
western nations. The evidence is that.
coincident with the mental advance OF
man. there has been a diminution in
the provision of teeth. In the ape.
the negro, and the white man. brain
and teeth arc inversely proportional
to efficiency. Increase of cunning has
reduced the work of the teeth, and the
demand Of the brain for blood has
starved the former; disorders of di-
gestion show that the balance is un
satisfactory.
