names of persons, whom they charge
are under age, asking that the names
be stricken off the liquor petition.
The names include, according to the
demonstrations, non residents, per-
sons who did not authorize their sig

HOW TO PREVENT
ACID STOMACHS and
FOOD FERMENTATION
BY a Stomach Specialist.

As a specialist who has spent MANY
years in the study and treatment of
stomach troubles. ! haee been forced to
the conclusion that most people who
comp ain of stomach trouble possess
sfomachs that are absolutely healthy
and normal. The real trouble, that
which causes all the pain and difficulty,
Is acid in The stomach. usually due to-
or aggravated by. food fermentation
Acid irritates the delicate lining of the
stomach and food fermentation causes
wind which 6istends the stomach alb
normally. caAing that full bIoated feel
ing Thus both acid and fermentatic
interfere with eand retard the process of
digestion. The stomach is usually
hea thy and normal, but irritated al
most past endurance by these foreign
elements-acid and wind. In all such
cases-and they comprise over 80 per
cent of all stomach difficulties-the
first and only step necessary is to neu-
tralize the acid and stop the fermenta-
ton by taking in little warm or cold
water Immediately after eating from
one 10 two teaspoonfu of bisurated
magnesia, which is doubtless the best
and only really effective antacid and
food corrective known. The acid will be
neutraiized and the fermentation stop
ped almost instantly and your stom-
ach will at once proceed to digest the
food in healthy, normal MANNER. Be
sure to ask your druggist for the bi-
surated magnesia, as l have found 9TH
er forms utterly lacking in its pecu-
liarlv valuable properties.-F. J. c.
