STOMACH TROUBLES !
DUE TO AClDlTY
so SAYS EMINENT SPECIALIST

So-caIled stomach troubles, such as
Indigestion, wind, and stomach-aehe
are in probably nine cases out of ten
simply evidence that fermentation is
taking place in the food contents of
the stomach, causing the formation
of gas and acids. Wind distends the
stomach, and causes that full, oppres-
siye feeling sometimes known as
heartburn, while the acid irritates and
iIflames the delicate lining of the
stomach. The trouble lies entirely in
the fermenting food Such fermen-
tation is unnatural, and acid forma
ton is not only unnatural, but may in
volve most serious consequences il
not corrected. To stop or prevent fer.
mentation of the food contents of the
stomach and to neutralize the acid,
and render it bland and harmless, a
teaspoonful of bisurated magnesia,
probably the best and most effective
eorrectoT of acid stomach known
should be taken in a quarter OF a
glass of hot or cold water immediate
~ after eating, or whenever wind or
acidity is felt. This stops the fer
Tnentation, and neutralizes the acidity
in few moments. Fermentation,
wind and acidity are dangerous and
unnecessary. Stop or prevent them
by the use of proper antactd, such
as bisurated magnesia. which can be
obtained from any druggist and thus
enable the stomach to do its work
properly without being hindered by
poisonous gas and dangerous acids

negro, tall and gaunt; he wore a

Suddenly he stiffened. There were
three taps upon the barred door. He
rose, strobe swiftly to the door and

she cried, "you have been snatched

wrung her hands in despair. She
turned to Neal and laid her hand upon
his arm. What are we to do?" she
cried. "We are but a handful of wom-
en-championed by our solitary sailor

Annette sprang to her feet. New

There was knock upon the door,

He grinned bit sheepishly. Beside

He passed to Neal a folded sheet of

A flush crept into his face and his
eyes spanked

He handed the paper to his mother.
"Annette-Irene," he said. Il have

he explained, "and the cruiser Albany

Annette.
