Stomach Troubles
Due to Acidity
so SAYS EMINENT SPECIALIST
dec2, wed,26t

So-called stomach troubles, such as in
digestion, wind, and stomach-ache are in
probably nine cases out of ten simply
evidence that fermentation is taking
place in the food contents of the stom-
ach, causing the formation of gas and
acids. " ma distends the stomach. and
causes that full. oppressive feeling some
times known as heartburn, while the acid
rritates and infiames the delicate lining
of the stomach. The trouble lies entirely
in the fermenting food. Such fermenta-
ton Is unnatural. and acid formation
is not only unnatural. but may involve
most serious consequences if not cor
rected. To stop or prevent fermentation
OF the food contents of the stomach and
to neutralize the acid, and render it
bland and harmless, a teaspoonful of bis
urated magnesia, probably the best and
most effective corrector of acid stomach
known, should be taken in q quarter of
& glass of not or cold water Immediately
after eating. or whenever wind or acidity
is felt. This stops the fermentation. and
neutralizes the acidity in a few moments.
Fermentation, wind and acidiIy are dam
gerous and unnecessary. Stop or prevent
them by the use of a proper antacid,
such as bisurated magnesia, which can
be obtained from John Coughlin or any
druggist and thus enable the stomach to
do its work properly without being him
tered by poisonous gas and dangerous

DR.. osLER ON TUBERCULOSIS.

Sir William OSler, one of the foremost
of living medical men, formerly of Johns
Hopkins. Baltimore. and now Regius
Professor of Medicine at oxford, says in
his Practice of Medicine QS92), on page
249:
The healing of pulmonary tuberculosis

bacilli have been found. In the
pneumonia a scar tissue is formed, while
the smaller Gaseous areas become i'm
pregnated with lime salts. To such con-
ditions alone should the term healing be
applied"
Many eminent medical authorities have
testified to the efficacy of lime salts in
the treatment Of tuberculosis, and the
success of Eckmans Alternative in this
and allied throat and bronchial affections
may be due partly to the fact that it con-
tains lime salt so combined with other
valuable ingredients as to be easily as

Widespread use of this remedy in num-

Therefore we desire earnestly and hope
endlessly and pray increasingly for that
other life into which our brother has
gone There our purposes may reach
fulfllment. There our ideals may find
embodiment and all of life may find
justification.
Our second meditation teaches us a
lesson about tie life we now live. We
must not live Gloomily or despondently
when our friends and loved ones pass
out of darkness into light, out of err
ror into truth, out of the seeming into
the real
We must cultivate patience and faith
and gratitude. Patience to wait with
out over anxious thought till God shall
reveal. Faith to toll on and endure and
always, feel that the, victory of life is
in sorrow as in joy, in defeat as in
victory. Gratitude for the things, all
the things of life, especially for the
common joys of life, like evening light,
the cheer of roses, the music OF birds
and the presence of friends.
1t seems a part of Gods plan to con-
ceal from us the causes of many expe-
riences that come into our lives. At
these times, patience and faith are our
only refuge. When Jacob learned that
his boy Benjamin was held as a host
age in Egypt, bitterness swept into his
soul and the cry rose from his heart:
Joseph is dead, Simeon is dead, now
they take away Benjamin also" Just
then away in the distance a cloud OF
dust, then horsemen appear. soon the
caravan is at the door. Joseph lives and
is exalted to be adviser of Egypt's
King. Then the old patriarch mourns,
surely goodness, surely mercy shall
follow me all the days of my life"

Rev. Dunnack said in part:
II is written:
I'm my Fathers house are many man
SionS
I go to prepare place for you
| will come again to receive you unto
myself
quiet simplicity is all about us. How
fitting that we are here in the place he
loved so truly. These flowers, the gifts
of thoughtful, kindly hearts, are fragrant
and beautiful. Some of them speak of
love beyond words, some of the friend
ships which made his life and theirs rich
and fragrant. Your presence here is a
benediction and though you speak no
words, we know something of your kind
ly spirit will linger here long after You
go out into the worlds noise and toll.
You are here because love commands.
You linger long to catch the spirit and
inspiration of immortality. and while you
wait 1 invite you to mediate with me
upon some thoughts that may help us to
understand life.
Our first meditation teaches US lesson
about the present and the future Moth
ing is ever finished here. Life and time
do not agree together. Life demands
eternity for its unfolding. Die when we
will, there remains something that is
undone. Brunelleschi plans the Duomo;
but it must be left for other hands to
Spring the arch and rear the dome and en-
rich from half hundred quarries the gilt
tering facade. Michelangelo plans the
tomb Of his Medicean patron: but he
passes away before the granite mask is
taken from the face Of the recumbent
figure. Raphael beholds in a vision of
the soul the TRANSPORTED Christ; but the
unfinished panel is borne before the bier
upon which the dead artist lies. How
true it is that nothing is finished in this
life.
That is the reason that Jesus most
frequently connected life" with ever
lasting" and eternal" Our summer is
too short for the ripening of the soul.
Our good Quaker poet has voiced it
all with rare insight:
LET the thick curtain fall;
l better know than all
How little l have gained,
How vast the unattatned.
Let life be banned or sainted;
Deeper than written scroll
The colors Of the Soul.
'sSweeter than any song
MY songs that found no tongue;
Nobler than any fact
Ny wish that failed to act"
And we add the words Of the gooo Ten
nyson:
THAT nothing walks with aimiess feet,
That not one life shall be destroyed
or cast as rubbish to the void.
When God hath made the pile complete
These great seers-Whittier and Tenny-
son-see clearly. feel deeply and they all
point to the future for the explanation
and fuldllment Of the present Thus
wise men and teachers speak one mes
sage. Today demands tomorrow. Time
demands eternity.
