WEAK STOMACHS CAUSE GAS

Stomach gas which is a cause Of
great discomfort to many people is
caused by the food being retained so
long that it ferments if it is vegetable
food or putrefies if it is animal food.
The usual treatment is. to forbid the
use Of the food that is causing the
trouble. This stops the discomfort
caused by gas but few people like to
be put on limited diet. They gen.
orally try another doctor.
Food is retained until it causes gas
because the digestion is weak. That
Is q simple statement Of complicated
condition. Digestive weakness may
involve deficient secretion Of diges-
tive fluids, lack Of force in the nerves
that control digestion. many things.
but back Of them all Is thin blood.
without rich. red blood good diges-
ton is impossible" is an established
fact in medicine. You can enrich
your blood with DR.. Williams Pink
Pills and begin at once to restore
your disordered digestion until you
can eat what you want, within rea-
son, and enjoy it. These pills have 3
direct action on the nerves also and
so are an ideal digestive tonic.

experts here expect that the total num-
Der or men captured and the amount
OF war booty will grow rapidly.
A significant feature of the reports
OF this victory is the reference to the
piercing Of the front Of the Russian
army. The Russian commanders up to
the present time usually have been
able to avoid a breach in their line by
railing back before the line broke.
Political Value of Victory
The political value of this victory Of
the first magnitude. is regarded here
as quite as great as the military val
