a day or two-the symptoms enumer-
aide may be much more intense. The
distress may be marked and the gen
eral constitutional symptoms more
evident. When this stage is reached
the loss of oppetite, the mental de-
preston and the general uncomforta-
BILE feeling in the stomach are much
more pronounced. This is particular
ly true in acute gastritis.
1T frequently occurs from contin-
ued errors in diet that this condition
becomes chronic, and the symptoms
persist for an indefinite period; the
appetite is very apt to be varied, al
though at times very good. Heart
burn is frequent, if not constant; the
stomach is painful on pressure; the
tongue is coated, there is a bad taste
ia the bouth, and there are changes in
tie amount of the salivatory secretion.
Constipation is also usually present,
although diarrhoea may alternate.
Most cases of dyspepsia can be
cured if the diet is properly looked
after and with the proper treatment.
Proper eating and the proper treat
nent of food are the most important
features in the treatment. Most peo-
pie eat too fast and eat too much.
"One of the most pernicious of all
practices in the treatment of dyspep-
STA is the promiscuous taking Of SO
many of the so-called proprietary
medicines, which are so baltantly adj

yertised in the daily press, many OF
them being nothing more than alco>
holic beverages, and their use is not
unattended with a great deal of dan
ger. The treatment of constipation
that is so frequently an accompani-
ment of dyspepsia by means of patent
pills, calomel powders and purgatives
is positively harmful.
81 am convinced" continued Mr..
Cooper, that the stomach regulates
the condition of the blood and is the
mountain head of health or disease,
as the case may be. My medicine is
intended primarily for the regulation
of the stomach and the correction o.
catarrhal Inflammation, but it is no
uncommon thing for persons who have
used it to come to me and explain that
it has relieved them of rheumatism
and many ailments not generally rec
ognized in having their origin in
stomach trouble"

DYSPEPSIA MAN 5
GREATEST ENEMY,
SAYS |. 7. COOPER.

Explaining the record-breaking de-
mand for Taulac, G. F. Willis, south
ern representative for L. T. Cooper,
manufacturer of the celebrated medi-
cine, stated recently in Atlanta that
the thousands of questions were being
asked all over the South regarding it
make it imperative that some explain
alton be made to satisfy the public
interest.
At this point MIR. Willis quoted from
one of Mr.. Cooper's recent lectures, in
which he said: "Of all the distressing
conditions that afflict humanity, chron-
ic dyspepsia is probably the most prev
alent. This most universal malady has
baffled the medical profession for
years, and the most skilled specialists
have been unable to cope with it sue
cessfully.
Hours might be consumed in de-
scribing the sufferings, mental and
physical of the sufferers of chronic
dyspepsia and their failure heretofore
to get relief. A morbid, unreal, whim-
steal and melancholy condition of the
physical suffering, is the usual condi-
ton of the average dyspeptic and life
seems scarcely worth the living. Dys-
pepsia or indigestion, as the case may
be, is caused by the taking of too much
food, or untuitable food, and the mu-
cous membrane of the stomach becomes
irritated, and there is set an acute or
sub-acute gastric catarrhal condition
which prevents the proper digestion
Of the food. This food is apt to fer
ment and decompose, and as result
the familiar distressing symptoms of
dyspepsia may arise. In mild cases
there is nothing more that an uncom-
Portable feeling in the stomach, with
a certain amount of depression, head
ache, loss of appetite, perhaps belch-
ing of gas and occasional vomiting.
There may be also accompanying in
testinal symptoms, such as constipa-
toin, pains in the back, collie, cts.
There may be only the familiar heart
burn, due to the Inflammation of the
stomach from the excessive gases of
fermentation or putrefaction. In the
most severe cases-those that last over

IN the general market the activities Of

tons, strong pools and weak pools, skill

show traces OF the most amateurish

According TO many observers ths
Stock market. broadly speaking. Is In
about the same position AZ II was pre-
vious to the sharp squirt toward the end
OF last week. The undoing Of this squirt
Ia regarded as a healthy development.
The rise was brought about by the &C
tivities Of the purely speculative element
which ann stay still a moment and
also by manipulative tactics OF the pool
order. The more conservative specu-
lative community did not participate.

ton In the market until the contents
OF the German note and Its outcome
were made known. When this became
obvious the ultra speculative element
soon quit. Pool manipulation In Cruel
bic Steel and half n dozen other special
ties was temporarily suspended. as the
continued success OF such ventures must
depend upon outside support, The re-
straint placed on speculative activity
was welcomed by persons who were
public spirited enough to have the real
interests OF the market at heart.
II is recognized that the adverse pos
sibilities In the German note are still
present and hat no one can form an
intelligent idea OF It's outcome. a weak
ard extended market position at this
Time would. therefore. be a real menace
Under such circumstance n note might
prove highly disturbing. while the same
communication coming Upon a market
in a strong technical position would
have an insignificant effect or would
even be regarded as harmless.

were such skilled archers that they
