STOMACH MEDICINES
ARE DANGEROUS
Doctors Now Advise Magnesia

Doctors Now ADVISE Magnesia
Just how dangerous it is to in
discriminatory dose the stomach
with drugs and medicines is often
OF realized until too late. 1t seems
90 simple to swallow a dose Of
some special mixture or take tab
lets of soda, pepsin. bismuth, etc.
after meals, and the folly of this
drugging is not apparent until,
perhaps years afterward, when it
Is found that gastric ulcers have
almost eaten their way through
the stomach walls. Regrets are
then unavailing; 1t is in the early
stages when Indigestion, dyspep-
sia, heartburn, flatulence, etc. in
dicates excessive acidity of the
stomach and fermentation of food
contents that precaution should be
taken. Drugs and medicines are
unsuitable and often dangerous -
they have little or no influence up
ON the harmful acid, and that is
why doctors are discarding them
and advising sufferers from indi-
gestion and stomach trouble to get
rid of the dangerous acid and keep
the food contents bland and sweet
By taking a little pure blsurated
magnesia instead. Bisurated Mag
, nesia is an absolutely pure anti
acid which can be readily obtained
from any drug store. 1t Is abso-
lutely harmless, is practically
tasteless and teaspoonful taken
In little warm or cold water after
meals, will usually be found quite
sufficient to instantly neutralize
excessive acidity of the stomach
and prevent all possibility of the
food fermenting.

sOrSnlp are gone, except Cyrll
Brown, Berlin correspondent for
the New York World.
During past months l can state
that the German censor repeat
eddy held up United Press and AS
ISOLATED Press messages, or ad-
vised correspondents of those two
agencies that nothing regarding
the submarine warfare or, later,
the delays in obtaining passports,
could be sent.
The Germans sent, via the Over
seas News Agency, information
counteracting the texts of corre-
spondents' dispatches.
An example of the use to which
Germany put her propaganda by
the official news agency is furn-
ished in the interview with Baron
Won Stumm sent over the wireless
service and which explained the
delay in Gerard's departure was
due to the necessity for filling in
his passports.
Gerard Angry.
Ambassador Gerard was greatly
incensed when this interview came
to his attention.
can state that Gerard was held
from Monday until Saturday
against his will and despite urgent
requests for permission to leave.
Germany is now similarly treat
ing American consuls. None has
reached Berne since the arrival of
the embassy train, although the
American legation at Berne was
advised from the Spanish embassy
in Berlin that Americans had ex-
pressed a desire to leave.
Germany's hostility toward
America is not new.
Weeks ago Ambassador Gerard
vigorously complained to the for
eign office that the Germans were
searching the wives of American
consuls at the border.
Attitude Changed.
At Warnemunde alone, the
wives of three prominent officials
were lately stripped. bathed and
examined internally because they
were suspected of carrying docu-
ments.
Mote: In all previous in
stances in which women have
been searched the examination has
been made by women officials.
Ackerman's cable does not spe-
officially state, but 1t is assumed
that examinations were made by
women.--Editor.)
Because the military Is supreme
and because it has adopted this
general attitude, the foreign office
is powerless.
American officials who have
been in Berlin hold Foreign Sec
rotary Alfred Zimmerman respon-
sible for many of the anti-Ameri-
can plans
At the foreign office immedi-
ately after America broke rela-
tions with Germany, Zimmerman,
in talking confidentially to news
paper correspondents, showed a
bitter and nervous attitude
against President Wilson and
America, surprising all present.
1t was then that he declared
Germany would not stop in her
course and was determined to go
ahead and win the war with her
submarines.
Two days before Gerard left
Berlin l met Zimmerman, then
leaving the office of the imperial
chancellor. His attitude was
changed.
He said, 'tAckerman, I hope
when you arrive In America you
will work for peace"
