WHY PHYSICIANS
ADVISE MAGN ESIA
FOR ACID INDIGESTION

Thousands of people whose
stomachs troubled them after eat
ing have found that by taking a
teaspoonful of pure bisurated mag
nesia in a half glass of hot water
after meals they can do away with
pepsin pills and other digestive
aids and can still be able to eat
heartily of whatever foods they
please and have no stomach trou-
BILE afterwards. Physicians say
that hot water forces a much need
ed blood supply to the stomach
while bisurated magneeia Is un-
doubtedly the best, safest and most
powerful neutralizer of stomach
acids that can be found. A single
teaspoonful will sweeten the food
contents of a sour, acid, burning
stomach in five minutes by the
watch and natural digestion will
follow without pain or uncomforta-
BILE feeling of any kind. Continued
use of bisurated magnesia does not
weaken natural digestion and 1t Is
perfectly safe to use at any time.
II can be had at almost any drug
store but be sure 1t is bisurated
magnesia you are getting. Do not
use other forms OF magnesia for
this purpose.

German mortality rates have

Tuberculosis is ravag.ng the

This information came to the

the dysentary epidemic. All Ger

Scores of reports have reached

dysentary in Germany. These
have been merely local outbreaks
as compared with the present
practically universal spread of the

Dysentary comes In part from

democracy alive and gave it
plenty of exercise under the

1t Is a queer thing to think Of,
that while the tyrannical govern

spy systems v.<re hunting out de-
mocracy high and low, the daily
life OF every village was fostering
1t and preparing the ability and
skill that in the end pushed the
old throne over and now conduct
the national government.
| should think that this ought
to be enough to convince even the
Cave Men that democracy is or
dained and inevitable.

character for democracy are a ca
pacity for self-restraint and a ca
pacity to work together.
