How to Neutralize
Dangerous
Stomach Acids

Few people besides physicians realize
the Importance of keeping the food con-
tents of the stomach free from acid fer
mentation. Healthy. normal digestion
cannot take place while the delicate lining
of the stomach is being inffamed and
distended by acid and wind-the result
OF fermenting food in the stomach. To
secure perfect digestion, fermentation
must be storN ed or prevented and the
acid neutralized. For this purpose,
physicians recommend getting a little
bisurated ma mesia from the druggist
and taking teaspoonful in a little hot
or cold water Immediately after eating.
They recommend bisurated magnesia
because it is pleasant to take, has no
disagreeable after-effects and instantly
stops fermentation, neutralizes the acid
and makes the sour acid. bland, sweet
and easily digested.
The regular use of bisurated nagnesia
be sure you get the bisurated, as
other kinds of magnesia are of little
value-is an absolute guarantee Of
healthy. normal digestion. for it over
comes and prevents that acid condition
which alone is the cause of the trouble.

ACTIONS
WERE SETTLED
ONLY A COUPLE OF CASES WERE
CALLED UP IN THE COURT OF
RECORD AND BOTH DISPOSED
OF QUICKLY.

Two cases were called up for dis
position in the court of record yester-
day and each of them were settled
quickly. One was a replevin, which
went to trial, and which resulted in a
directed verdict for the plaintiff. The
other was a case alleging damages,
which was also settled through a con-
sent verdict, for the sum of $12212.
The title of the first case was:
Rhodes Collins Furniture Company vs.
w. w. Hayden; replevin.
The other case was that of 7 B.
Gray & Co. and J. B. LaSsiter VS.. John
Patterson, damages.
One case is on the docket today, this
being that of Thomas Duffy Black VS..
the AIger- Sullivan Lumber Company

PLAINTIFF sues for alleged injuries re-
ceived on a railway of the defendant
company. Reese & Stokes appear for
the plaintiff, while Judge E. c. Max

defendant company.
