1T CONTAINS THE DOPE

Some time ago R. c. Johnson sent
to the department of chemistry, of
the State College of Washington, a
sample of water from Wanicut lake
for analysis, and received returns
from the same Saturday with the fol-
lowing letter from Elton Fulmer. head
OF the department and state chemist:
R. G. johnson,
Wanicut, Wash.
Dear Sir:
You will find enclosed a COPY of
the analytical results obtained from
the sample of water from Wanicut
lake forwarded by you some months
ago. You will note from the figures
that the water is essentially a mixture
of the sulphates of magnesium, cal
cium, sodium and aluminium, with
small amounts of chlorides of potas-
stun and sodium.

Guilty but insane is the form of
verdict that the bar association of
New York recommends in preference
to the obviously false mot guilty
because insane, which is required from
iuries in murder cases under the pres
ent law. No urgent argument should
be needed for the writing of such an
amendment into the code of criminal
procedure. The seandalous Thaw case
is conclusive appeal for reason in
dealing with murder. If murderers
are sometimes insane, there is no reason
why the law should be. The wonder
is that jurisprudence has submitted so
long and so meekly to the retention of
a form of verdict that embodies a lie
and makes sport of justice.

MORE ABOUT EDUCATION.


That part of the Carnegie tounda-

tiCnal commission which The Reformer
distributes as a supplement today deals
wholly with the Vermont colleges and
their relations TO the state The three
institutions which come in for review
and criticism are the University OF
Vermont, Middlebury college and Nor
wich university. AS far as the legal
relations of these colleges to the state
are concerned the report makes it clelr
that none of them is strictly "a state

troll AS exists having been granted

Acid Stomachs
Are Dangerous
Nine-tenths Of All stomach TrOubI
Said to BE Due to Acidity.
A Physician's Advice on Cause and
Cure.

famous physician whose successful
researches into the cause and cure of
stomach and intestinal diseases have
earned for him an International repue
tation, said in the course of recent
lecture that nearly all intestinal
troubles, as well as many diseases of
the vital organs, were directly trace
able to a deranged condition of the
stomach which in turn was due nine
times out of ten to excessive acidity
commonly termed sour stomach or
heartburn, which not only irritated and
infamed the delicate lining of the
stomach. but also set up gastritis and
stomach ulcers. 1t is interesting to
note that he condemns the use of patent
medicines as well as of medical treat
ment for the stomach. stating that he
and his colleagues have secured re-
markable results by the use of ordinary
bisurated magnesia,. which, by neutral
izing the acidity of the food, removes
the source of the trouble. He contends
that it is as foolish to treat the stom-
ach itself as 1t would be for man who
stepped on a tack to rub liniment on
tack. Remove the tack and the foot
will heal itself-neutralize the acid
and stomach troubles will disappear
Irritating medicines and medical treat
ments are useless, so long as the con-
tents of the stomach remain acid re-
need for medicine-the inflamed lining
of the stomach will then heal itself
Sufferers from acidity, sour stomach or
heartburn should get a small bottle of
bisurated magnesia from their drug
gist, and take a teaspoonful in a quar-
after meals, repeating in fifteen min
utes, If necessary, this being the, dose
which the doctor has found most ef-
ficacious in all ses.-Advertisement.
