Have Stomach Trouble
NEW YORK SPECIALIST ADVISES
WHAT TO EAT TO AVOID
INDIGESTION

well known physician recently
made the starting statement that a
careful estimate shows that fully so
per cent of our population are sufferers
in some degree from dyspepsia or acid
indigestion. The chief trouble, states
the doctor, is that the public does not
accept this condition with sufficient Sc
robustness. IF 80 per cent of the people
in your city" he continues, had just
been exposed to smallpox the whole city
would be panic-stricken. Yet such eX-
posure probably would not cause nearly
as much misery as might be caused, in
time by complications arising from the
mild cases of dyspepsia that are being
neglected right at this minute. Our
stomachs. as we grow older, secrete too
much acid which prevents the proper
digestion of food. Bloating, belching,
lows and we foolishly adopt the habit
for forcing the sour, burning food con-
tents of our acid stomachs into the in
testines by means of some pepsin pill or
other artificial digestent This process
means that we fail to get proper nour-
lsnment ana strength from our lmprop-
crlv digested food and in time will so
weaken the stomach that the irritated
and inflamed stomach, tortured beyond
endurance will stretch or dilate or a
falling of the stomach may occur.
Dangerous stomach ulcers which so
often lead to cancer are nearly always

should have daily is bisurated magne-
sia, teaspoonful of which taken in
quarter glass of hot or cold water after
meals, would. quickly end probably
nine-tenths of the stomach trouble that
now exists in this city. From my eX-
} perience l should say that bisurated
magnesia should be on every dining
table just like salt, pepper and sugar,
for use after meals. We use these lat
ter to make our food more acceptab BILE
to the palate, Equally then should we
use bisurated magnesia to make our
food more acceptable to the stomach, to
Eweeten the stomach and instantly neu-
tralize or dissolve all the excess acid
My advice to stomach sufferers is to
avoid freak diets, keep right on eating
nutritious foods even though they have
not always in the past agreed with you
but to make it a regular practice to take
a little bisurated magnesia in water
after meals. This advice when faith
fully followed almost invariably will
put an end to indigestion and add one
more member to the happy family of
normal painless digestion. The pure
hisurated magnesia which differs from
all other forms of prepared magnesia,
with which it is occasionally confused,
can be obtained in sealed glass bottles
from any leading druggist IN the city
or vicinity-Advertisem

HOW TO DEYELOp INITIATIVE

1t is certainly essential that we
should cultivate initiative in all of
our people, but it is equally import
ant that a man should understand
that his initiative is valuable only
when he knows what other people
have already accomplished in that
direction. The necessity for this is
made evident every day by the great
number of people who go to patent
lawyers with devices which are OBJ
solete and methods which have been
superseded. If we would develop the
initiative of man properly, we must
allow him to encounter unexpected OBJ
stacles which compel him to solve new
problems. He soon discovers that
it is wise to learn all that is known
about a subject before he undertakes
to make improvements. When he
has learned to do the work as we'll as
is already known to be possible, ev-
cry encouragement should be given
him to devise new and better meth
ods. Initiative should be recognized
to the greatest possible extent, and
every opportunity should be taken to
illustrate the value OF knowledge in
connection with it'll. i. CAN'T, in
