HOW TO STOP
STOMACH TORMENT
Sound Advice From a WsIi-knowr
Physician.

Sound Advice From a Well known
Physician.
Men and women who suffer from
what they call Dyspepsia, Indigestion
or lust plain "stomach-trouble"u usually
seek regular relief in the form of some
pepsin pill or tablet. or other artificial
digestant. This, experience teaches
me, is serious error. In nine cases
ont of ten, the distress is caused by
the development of acids in the stom-
ach--formed by the fermenting Of the
food. Instead Of q digestant being re-
auired, something should be taken to
dissolve or neutralize this acidity. when
normal digestion will follow as a mat
ter of course. This acid matter is dis
tinctly poisonous and unless 1t Is dis
solved, digestion merely carries the
mass of fermenting food from the
stomach to- the intestines where It's
poison Is absorbed by the blood and
carried all over the body.

suffer after nearly every meal would

Ohio, Indiana and New York, and has

mistakes have been made in Iowa that
will have to be undone. Practically

avoided the many pitfalls which they
found In other states. We have got
ten in the work in conservative and
careful manner and we have sought
and secured the cooperation OF the
county officials. They have not done
that in all states. For instance, In one
state they started out by lining up
the commission examiners on one side
of line and the county officials on the
other, putting them in antagonism to
each other, then starting in to fight
il out. The result was that the whole
state was soon quarreling over the
matter. That was bad way to start
