ACID ST0MACHS AND :.
FOOD FERMENTATION
ex a Stomach speciaIIst

AS a specialist who has spent many
years in the study and treatment OF
stomach troubles, | have been forced
To- the conclusion that most people
who complain Of stomach trouble pos
sess stomachs that are absolutely
healthy and normal. The real trouble,
tEat which causes all the pain and
difficulty, is excessive acid in the
stomach, aggravated by food fermen
tation. Hyper-aci ~ initiates the
delicate lining of the stomach and
feod fermentation causes wind when
distends the stomach abnormaily,
causing that full bioated feeling. Thus
both acid and fermentation interfere
with and retard the process of diges-
ton. The stomach is usually healthy
and normal, but irritated almost past
endurance by these foreign elements
acid and wind In all such cases
and they comprise over 90 per cent
of all stomach difficult;es--the first
and only step necessary is to neutra.
lie the acid and stop the fermenta-
tion by taking Tin a little warm or
cold water Immediately after eating,
from one to two teaspoonfuls of bisu-
rated magnesia. which is doubtless
the best and only really effective ant
acid and food corrective known. The
acid will be neutralized and the fer
mentation stopped almost instantly,
and your stomach will at once pro-
coed to digest the food in healthy,
normal manner. Be sure to ask your
druggist for the bisurated magnesia,
as l have found other forms utterly

GUATEMALA CROP
IS INCREASED
tConsul Samuel c. Reat, Guatemala

(Consul Samuel c. Reat. Guatemala
City, Nov. 20.b
Guatemala s production of sugar for
the year 1915 was 100000 quintals, a
quintal weighing 100 pounds. This is
exclusive of the production Of sugar
in the FORM of a cake, known as
pamela" which is wholly taken for
local consumption. in 1914 the out
put was 100000 quintals; in 1913,
24O. 0G0 % 100000 quintals. The bulk
of this production each year was ex-
ported TO the United States and to
British Columbia, small quantity be-
ing taken by other republics of Cen
trail America.
The high price of sugar stimulated
the planters this year to put an unusu-
ally large acreage under cane. The
crop is now being cut, but the harvest
will not be completed until February,
1917. In the lowlands of the Gulf
and the Pacific coasts the yield has
been abundant, but in the higher
regions the output will be curtailed
somewhat owing to the exceptionally
cold weather that has prevailed this
season. While statistics as to this
years crop are not yet available, 1t
is estimated that in view of the in
crease acreage and the abundant
crops IN the lowlands the total pro-
duction will at least equal and very
probably exceed that of 1918.
