SO TYPHOID fever
Cases IN HOSPITALS
Doctors Say City Has Many
More Victims of The
Disease
HEALTH BOARD
KNOWS OF ONLY Is

Although the records Of the Board
Of Health show but twenty-five cases
Of typhoid fever in this city at the
present time, including cases at the
hospitals, a canvass Of the three local
hospitals today showed that UP to
noon today there were thirty-six cases
Of this disease in those institutions.
According to local physicians there
is an epidemic of the fever in Viii
mington.
Several physicians stated that ef-
Sorts to have the hospitals accept ad-
ditional patients suffering from the
disease, were met with the statement
that the hospitals were already nlled
with typhoid fever and other patients.
At the Homeopathic Hospital, 1t was
admitted that extra cots had been
pressed into service 10 care for the
typhoid cases. The same conditions
prevail at the Delaware Hospital, while
at the Physicians and Surgeons Hos
pital, no cots have as yet been pressed
into service; but it was said that the
institution was fllled to its capacity.
According to the records Of the
Board of Health the % cases are
scattered over the city, two being in
the Ninth ward and the others In
the various hospitals and in the lower
section Of the city.
Physicians from various sections o.
the city, however. contend that the
number of cases is appalling, one
doctor saying that he knew OF Z

Give Your Stomach
A MagneSia Bath
A Wonderful Treatment For Dyspepsia
Indigestion and Sour, Upset
Stomach

No man or woman who suffers from acid
indigestion or dyspepsia can make mistake
by giving their stomach an occasional inter.
nal bath with a little bisurated magnesia
says well known authority. Ninety per
cent. Of all digestive disorders are caused by
"aeid stomach. Nature provides hydro.
chlorie acid as one of the digestive fluids but
a great many stomachs generate too much
acid which irritates and inhames tho stom-
ach walls and causes partially digested food
to sour and ferment. Thus the stomach,
while fundamentally all right develops gas.
wind and the pain commonly mistaken for
indigestion.
This harmful, poisonous excess acid In tho
stomach should be neutralized before II works
its way into the blood and Is carried all over
tho body. The moment your stomach burns
or feels sour or the food you eat begins to
hurt, get few ounces OF Bisurateo MaBnesia
from any reliable druggist and take tea
spoonful In little water. Relief comes IN
five minutes by the watch. The Bisurated
Magnesia washes dOwn.into your acid-inhamed
and burning stomach and soothes and cools
the heated walls and takes up or neutralizes
every trace Of excess acid present much as
q piece Of blotting. paper or sponge might do.
Every symptom Of stomach distress vanishes
and natural, easy. painless digestion follows.
NoTE-Bisurated Magnesia is q scientific
combination Of purest magnesia and Dismuth
specially prepared for acid stomach and the
word "bisurated' should always be insisted
on as magnesia Is sold In various other forms.
| The genuine comes only in sealed blue pack
ages as a powder In tablets and is never
sold as a citrate. liquid. milk or in Jumps. In
/ the Bisurated form magnesia is not laxative
