ACID STOMACHS
ARE DANGEROUS

Acid" stomachs are dangerous be-
cause acid irritates and inflames the
delicate lining of the stomach, thus
hindering and preventing the proper
action of the stomach, and leading TO
probably nine-tenths of the cases of
stomach trouble from which people
suffer. Ordinarily medicines and me-
dicinal treatments are useless in such
cases, for they leave the source of the
trouble. the acid in the stomach, as
dangerous as ever. The acid must be
neutralized, and it's formation prevent
ed, and the best thing for this purpose
is a teaspoonful of bisurated magnesia
a simple antacid, taken in little
warm or cold water after eating,
which not only neutralizes the acid,
but also prevents the fermentation
from which acid is developed. Foods
which ordinarily cause distress NAV
be eaten with impunity if the meal is
followed with a little bisurated mag
nesia, which can be obtained from any
druggist, and should always be kept
handy.

A UNIVERSAL FOOD
Following Natures Footsteps.

Il have a boy. two years old. weigh
ing forty pounds and in perfect health
who has been raised on Grape-Nuts
and milk.
This is an ideal food and evidently
furnishes the elements necessary for
a baby as well as for adults. We have
used Grape-Nuts in large quantities
and greatly to our advantage"
One advantage about Grape-Nuts
food is that it is partially pre-digestcd
in the process of manufacture. The
starch contained in the wheat and bar
ley is transformed into a form of SUI
gar by the same method as this pro-
cess is carried out in the human body;
that is, by the use of moisture and
long exposure to moderate warmth,
which grows the distase in the grains,
and with long baking makes the re-
marka BILE change from starch to sugar.
Therefore. the most delicate ston,-
ach can handle Grape-Nuts and the
food is quickly absorbed into the blood
and tissue, certain parts OF it going
directly to building and nourishing
both body and brain. There's n Rea-
