The Old gentleman belonged just next
door TO Billy's home, in a great big
fine house, with many servants. The
old gentleman lived quite alone. He
had no wife and no family. and Billy
had often thought it must be very

the old gentleman was away at the

Billy saw him only In the mornings.

charged to be very careful not to throw

Billy studied his neighbor as the car
rolled along. He thought he had not
such a cross face after all. There was

Stomach Troubles
Due to Acidity
so SAYS EMINENT SPECIALIST.

So-caIled stomach troubles. such as in
digestion. wind, and stomach-ache are In
probably nine cases out of ten simply
evidence that fermentation is taking
place IN the food contents OF the stom-
ach. causing the formation of gas and
acids. Wind distends the stomach, and
causes that full, oppressive feeling
sometimes known as heartburn, while
the acid irrftates and infiames the deli
cate lining Of the stomach. The trouble
lies entirely in the fermenting food.
Such fermentation is unnatural, and
acid formation Is not only unnatural.
but may involve most serious conse-
quences II not corrected. To stop or
prevent fermentation OF the food con-
tents Of the stomach and to neutTalize
the acid, and render IL bland and HARM
less. a teaspoonfuI of bsurated mag
nesia. probably the hest and most ef-
fective corrector OF acid stomach known
should be taken in quarter of a glass
OF hot or cold water Immediately after
eating or whenever wind or acidity is
felt. This stops the fermentation, and
neutralizes the acidity in a few mo-
ments- Fermentation, wind and scidity
are dangerous and unnecessary. Stop or
prevent them by the use of a proper
antacid such as bisurated magnesia,
which can be obtained from any drug
gist and thus enable the stomach to
do its work properly without being
bindered by poisonous gas and danger
