1T is plain outrage what people

stuff has been sold to our agents as
pure pork sausage. Not only is it
a swindle, but we are not always
sure of the meat and sausage made
of such combinations decomposes or
becomes contaminated. People who
work off such alleged foods on the

Many stomach sufferers who are
always full of gas and whose stom-
achs burn with acid after nearly
every meal think these things are
reality they are the CAUSE.
1t is just as foolish to give arti-

to a stomach full of gas and acid
as it would be for a man who had
stepped on a tack to rub liniment
on his foot without removing the
tack.
Some stomachs generate too
much gas and acid. Gas distends
the stomach walls causing full,
bloated oppressive feeling while
the acid frritates and infiames the
lining of the stomach. Naturally the
food ferments and sours. digestion
is often delayed and stomach mis-
cry is the result. Artificial digest
