When our grandmothers were girls
domestic duties were the only occupa-

have reached out into other fields; the
domestic arts and sciences are no
longer their one goal BY the acts of

Stomachs Are
Dangerous
Common Sense Advice by n New York
Physician.

Acid" stomachs are dangerous be-
cause acid irritates and inflames the
delicate lining Of the stomach, thus
action OF the stomach. and leading to
probably nine-tenths OF the cases Of
stomach trouble from which people suf-
fer. Ordinary medicines and medicinal
treatments are useless in such cases, for
they merely artificially digest the food
and leave the source Of the trouble. the
acid in the stomach, as dangerous as
ever. The acid must be neutralized, and
its formation prevented. and the best
thing for this purpose is tcaspoonful OF
bisurated magnesta, simple antactd,
taken in a little warm or cold water
after eating, which not only neutralizes
the acid. but also prevents the fermenta-
ton from which acidity is developed.
Foods which ordinarily cause greatest
distress may be eaten without danger
or distress II the meal is followed with
a little bisurated ma gnesia, which can be
obtained from any druggist, and should
always be kept handy.
