cover $4,000 in damages for injuries

menced his argument to the jury. He
spoke for half an hour. Clarence E.
Roche, counsel for the plaintiff fol-
lowed Judge Carter w. Barrows in
charging the Jury said that they must
first find that the defendant was to
blame before the consideration of
damages, and that plaintiff was not to
blame for the accident. The plaintiff
must prove that the defendant was
negligent and that she was not neg
ligent. The fact that an accident
happened must not carry with it that
someone must be to blame, for always
the party injured claims the other fell
Miss Thomas was injured, is no rea-
son why Mr.. Burdick should pay for
the injuries. No sympathy should
enter into the determination of the
case; justice should be placed before
charity. The jury must be salts

fore taking money from Mr.. Burdick

the court when the defendant would

tinuance. The Judge said that mas

as to when the defendant would be
| ready to answer in the case, Mr.. Ec-
clestone took the witness stand and
proved his claim of $197.S4 and the
court gave Judgment for that amount,

ACID STOMACHS
ARE DANGEROUS
NINE-TENTHS OF ALL STOM.
ACH TROUBLE DUE TO
ACIDlTN.
Says New York Physician.

A New York Physician who has
made a special study of stomach
and intestinal diseases says that
nearly all intestinal troubles, as
well as many diseases of the vital
organs, are directly traceable to
a deranged condition of the
stomach. This in turn is due
about nine times out of ten to ex-
cessive acidity, commonly termed
sour stomach or heartburn, which
not only irritates and inflames
the delicate lining of the stom-
ach but may cause gastritis and
dangerous stomach ulcers. 1t is
interesting to note that he can
dennis the use of patent medi-
cines, and practically all medical
treatment that is designed to act
upon the stomach lining, stating
that the best results are obtained
by the use of a simple antacid
which acts upon the contents of
the stomach, and neutralizes the
acidity of the food thus remov-
ing the source of the trouble. As
an antacid he prescribes ordin-
AIRY bisurated magnesia. He con-
tends that it is as foolish to treat
the stomach itself as it would be
for man who stepped on a tack
to rub liniment on the foot with
out first removing the tack. Re-
move the tack and the foot will
heal itself-neutralize the acid
and the stomach troubles will dis
appear. Irritating medicines and
medical treatments are useless, so
long as the contents of the stom-
ach remains acid; remove the
acidity and there will be no need
for medicine-the inflamed lin
ing of the stomach will then heal
itself. Sufferers from acidity,
sour stomach and heartburn
should get small bottle of bisur-
ated magnesia from their drug
gist, and take teaspoonful in a
quarter of glass of hot or cold
water after each meal, repeating
in fifteen minutes, If necessary,
this being the dose which the
doctor has found most efficacious
In all cases.
