How To Prevent
Acid Stomach And
Food Fermentation
BY A NEW YORK PHYSICIAN.

My experience In the treatment OF
stomach diseases has forced me to the
conclusion that most people who com
plain OF stomach trouble possess stom-
aChs that are absolutely healthy and
normal. The real trouble, that which
causes all the pain and difficulty-, is
excessive acid in the stomach aggra-
waited by food fermentation Hyper
aCidity irritates the delicate lining OF
the stomach abnormally. causing that
full bloated feeling. Thus both acid
and fermentation interfere with and
retard the process of digestion The
stomach Is usually healthy and normal,
but irritated almost past endurance by
these foreign elements-acid and wind.
In all Ceses-and they comprise a great
majority OF all stomach difficulties-
the first and only step necessary Is to
neutralize the acid and stop the fer
mentation by taking in a little warm
or cold water Immediately after eating.
from one to two teaspoOnfuls OF
bisurated magnesia. which is the most
effective antaCid and food corrective |
have ever found. The excess acid will
be neutralized and the fermentation
stopped almost instantly. and your
stomach will at once proceed to digest
the food in a healthy normal manner.
BE sure to ask your druggist for
bisurnted magnesia, which is in the
form OF maEnesia especially recon-
mended for acid stomach conditions.

TWO CANDIDATES
QUALIFIED FOR
CITY ELECTION

Two candidates to succeed Mayor
Greenhut as commissioner qualified
yesterday by paying the amount of
the assessment to Treasurer Riera of
the city democratic executive commit
tee, while one candidate decided not
to enter the race.
P. L. Rollo and J. j. McNamee were
the candidates to qualify, while N. j.
Lillard formally announced his inten-
ton not TO make the race. Mr.. Lii
lard stated that after carefully con-
sidering the matter he decided not to
qualify because he believes he can
better serve the people of Pensacola
and Escambia county by devoting his
entire time to the agricultural devel-
opment work with which he is identi-
fed. He is planning an exhibit of Es-
Gambia county products for the fair
which will tax the new agricultural
building to capacity, and this, togeth-
er with his work in connection with
tn eCrop Improvement Association
and the tick eradication campaign,
would not permit him to continue in
the race. He wishes to express
thanks to the many friends who ten
dered him support and urged him to
run for the conmissionership.
