physician Recommends the use OF
Magnesia.
Sufferers from indigestion or dyspepsia
should remember that the presence of
gas or wind in the stomach invariably
indicates that the stomach is troubled by
excessive acidity.
Excessive acid causes the food to fer
ment and the fermenting food in turn
gives rise to noXous gases which dis
tend the stomach. hamper the normal
functions of vital internal organs. cause
acute headaches, and by pressure of the
pneumogaStic nerve often sets up palpi-
tation of the heart. neglected acid
stomach may be the cause of impaired
intestinal digestion which may in turn
cause general run down condition due
to the absorption of toxic material into
the blood. To quickly dispel dangerous
accumulation of wind in the stomach and
to stop the food fermentation which
creates the gas. the acid in the stomach
must be neutralized and for this purpose
there is nothing better than plain bis
urated magnesia taken in a little water
Immediately after meals. This instantly
neutraliZeS the acid, thus stopping fer
mentation and the formation of gas, and
enables the inhamed, distended stomach
to proceed with it's work under natural
conditions. The bisurated magnesia is
obtainable in powder or tablet form from
John Coughlin or any druggist; but as
there are several forms Of maSnesia you
should ask distinctly for B1oURATED
magnesia. Take a teaspoonful OF the
powder In a quarter glass OF water (Of

to the fight in which the 18th took
such a prominent part:
81 suppose that long before you get
this letter, you will have read about
the fight with the cursed Germans.
For my part, was never in such
terrible position in my life as l was
Wednesday afternoon. Oct. Is. l had
an order from Col. McAvity to
take high explosive bombs to a COM
pany, where the fight was hottest.
We were caught between our own ar
tillery fire and the Germans. The
German shells were exploding all
around, with rifle fire. machine guns
and everything human being can
invent. | was never so relieved In my
life as when we landed our load at the
proper place. and l thank God that l
am able to write these few lines to
you.

after the fight was to hunt me up, to
see if l was all right.
There is nothing too hard to say
about the German soldiers. Some
people will ask the question: Have
we seen the German soldiers" Well,
we have. Some were dressed in blue,
some in black and others had civilian
clothes on. We could see them when
they ran from the first line OF
trenches to the second. There are
hundreds of them who will fight no
more. 1 would give anything to step

conquer the most cursed race of peo-
pie. There are not words in the
English language strong enough to
express myself. Here is an example
of their cruelty:
Last week. when the English
troops drove the Germans out of their
trenches, they found French women
in them. The Germans made the
women do their cooking. and also
made common prostitutes of them
When the Germans found that they
were beaten, they cut these women's
threats and left them in the trenches.
