When your food reaches the stomach
it should digest and furnish nutritious

If 1t doesn't digest, but lays heavily

When it ferments it sets loose in the
stomach poisonous gases which irritate
the great pneumogastric nerve that

That irritation causes heartburn,

transportation close to hospital. The

and refuse and keeps things in the

a visit to other institutions and of the
advantage of getting one here. The
commission, he said, would not like
the town divided on the matter of
site. He believed the objection to
be entirely sentimental but in order to
have everyone satisfied, if an approved
site can be secured hereabouts he ia
vored a change. There has been raised
between $500 and $500 for the purposes
of the sanitarium, in this city and vi
cinity, with the understanding that it
would lie located here.
