INSURING
GOOD DIGESTION
Importance Of Preventing Food Fer.
mentation in Stomach.

GOOD digestion usually means good
health. So long as the stomach does
its work properly disease can find no
ioosment In the human system; the
llver, Kidneys. and intestines Will per-
form their work perfectly and remain
IN perfect health; but permit anything
to interfere with the proper Digestion
OF food, an unending train of troublea
is set in motion. About the only thinR
that will upset the stomach and inter-
fere with digestion Is an excess OF
acid, usually caused by food fermen-
tation- Food fermentation Is due to
chemical action in the food itself. This
fermentation causes the formation Of gas.
or wind, as well as acid, resulting in
the unnatural distention of the stom-
ach and the burning by the acid Of the
delicate lining of the stomach.
Medicine and tonics cannot relieve the
condition-they usually make II worse.
The fermentation and acid are to blame
and these must be overcome and pro-
vented by taking after meals a tea
spoonful of bisurated magnesia In
little hot or cold water. Physicians
recommend bisurated magnesia esps-
cially because 1t stops and prevents
fermentation of food and neutralizes
the acid instantly, making It bland and
harmless. without irritating the stom-
ach In any way. Get little bisurated
magnesta from your druggist and try
1t the next time your food ferments
and upsets your stomach. Note how
quickly the acid Is neutralized and
how soon you forget that you have
such thing as stoniach.-Advt.

DIALECT MAY PROVE

made by Berry Benson. of Augusta.
who is considered one Of the leading
handwriting experts of Georgia.
Benson. who Is also a student Of lit
erature after giving long study to
the matter, declares there is not a
white man. North or South. who could
have dictated the notes with typical
dialect
Edgar Allan Poe. a genius and a
Southern man. failed in The Gold
Bug to write properly the dialect
Of the Carolina colored man, so how
could a Northern man in the South
but a few years possibly express the
lingo of the colored man." inquired
Benson.
"Conley swears these two notes were
written at the same time at Franks 8
desk on a pad taken from his desk,
and at Franks dictation. They were
not written about the same time. The
second note was an afterthought."
Benson then goes into exhaustive
analysis to prove Conley wrote the
notes.
