Acid Stomachs Are
Dangerous
common Sense Advice by Distin.
onished Snecialist.
nayI9-22


Acid" stomachs are dangerous because
4 acid iritates and inffames the delicate
lining of the stomach, thus hindering
and preventing the proper action OF the
ktenths of the cases of stomach trouble
kfrom which people suffer. Ordinary
medicines and medicinal 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 its formation
prevented and the best thing for this
purpose is a teaspoonful of bisurated
magnesia, a simple antacid, taken in a
little warm or cold water after eating,
which not only neutralizes the acid, but
also prevents the fermentation from
which acidity is developed. Foods which
/ ordinarily cause distress may be eaten
with impunity If the meal is followed
with little bisuarted magnesia, which
can be obtained from John Coughlin or
any druggist. and should always be kept
handy.-Adv.

GERMANYS STATEMENT TO
THE UNITED STATES

Berlin, May 10.-The following dis
patch has been sent by the German
foreign office to the German embassy
at Washington:
please communicate the follow
ing to the State Department: The
German government desires to ex-
press its deepest sympathy at the loss
of lives on board the Lusitania. The
responsibility rests, however. with
the British government, which
through its plan of starving the
civilian population of Germany, has
forced Germany to resort to retalia-
tory measures.
I'm spite of the German offer to
stop the submarine war in Ease the
starvation plan was given up, Brit
ish merchant vessels are being gen.
orally armed with guns and have re-
peatedly tried to am submarines, so
that a previous search RAJ impos-
sible.
They connot, therefore. be treated
as ordinary merchant vessels. A re-
cent declaration to the British parlia-
ment by the parliamentary secretary
in answer to a question by Lord
Charles Beresford said that at the
present practically all British mer-
chant vessels were armed and pro-
vided with hand grenades.
Besides it has been openly admit
ted by the English press that the
Lusitania, on previous voyages, re.
peatedly carried large quantities OF
war material. On the present voy.
age the L~usitania carried 5400 case:
of ammunition, while the rest of the
cargo also consisted chiefly of con
traband.
If England. after repeated off.
cial and unofficial warnings, con
sidered herself able to declare thai
the boat ran no risk and thus light
heartedly assumed responsibility fol
the human life on board a steamer
which. owing to its armament ane
cargo, was liable to destruction. the
German government, in spite of it.
heartfelt sympathy for the loss o.
American lives, cannot but regrei
that Americans felt more inclined t.
trust the English promises rather
than to pay attention to the warn
ings from the German side"
