There are many different forms Of

specialist recently. but practically all
are traceable to excessive acidity and
food fermentation. That Is why the re-
suits obtained from the use OF drugs are
usually. SO Disappointing. Admitting
fermentation and consequent acidity OF
the food contents to be the underlying
cause of most forms of indigestion, 1t
naturally follows that the use of a re-
liable antacid, such as the pure bisur-
ated magnesia which is so frequently
prescribed by physicians. Will produce
better results than any known drug or
combination of drugs. Accordingly l al

FORCING OF DARDANELLES
URGED TO RELEASE WhEAT

London, Feb. 9-The Chronicle, y
commenting on the conclusions of THE
recent conference of financial Ministers
of Great Britain, France and Russia, in
fers that Britain and France have
agreed to make an advance to Russia
and remarks: "Of course, the more
final and satisfactory solution must be
to restore the Russian export trade,
and though more has been done by way
of Archangel than was ever expected,
the decisive stop would be the reopen
ing of the Dardanelles.
This would not only put Russian
credit on its own feet again, but it
would bring the price of wheat down
with a rush ON our own markets. The
two results, taken together, are SO ex-
tremely important that though any
serious attempt to capture CONSTANT
nople has hitherto been eschewed by
the allies as bypath, diverting en-
ergy from their main goal, it might
well become worth their while, in event
of the war becoming more and more
protracted, to make a conclusion in this
quarter.
The "Times" says: "We think that
close reading of the announcement will
suggest that no general international
loan is contemplated. The joint loan,
to be issued in the name of the allied
Powers, is to cover, it will be seen, all
vances made or to be made to other
Powers. The news that financial meas
ures necessary to re-establish the parity
of exchange between Russia and the
other allies, SO far as this rs possible,
have already been adopted is particu-
larly welcome to Russian commerce,
which has suffered greatly, owing to
closing of the Dardanelles at time
when her northern ports are frozen. -
