Stomach
Ruins Health
Of Millions

Besides those painful attacks of In
digestion; that awful bloated, lumpy
feeling after eating and downright
stomach misery that you who have
experienced it know so well; besides
disgusting belching, food-repeating,
sour stomach and distressing heartburn
besides all this, ACID-STOMACH
undermines the health and saps the
strength Of millions.
If you don't get rSd of those stomach
miseries there is no telling where your
stomach troubles will end, for it is a
well known scientific fact that many
serious ailments have their start in an
Hcid-stomach.
Start now-this very day to get rid of
your stomach miseries-take EATONIC
the wonderful remedy that absorbs
the excess acid from the stomach and
brings INSTANT relief. You simply
have no idea how much better, stronger
and brighter you feel at once. 1t drives
out all the gas and bloat, puts an i'm
mediate stop to belching and heartburn,
ends stomach suffering and makes it
cool; sweet, comfortable and strong.
There can be no further excuse for
you to allow acid-stomach to wreck
your health--pile up misery upon mis-
cry until you get to the point where
you feel down and out and that life has
lost all its joys. Remember. just as
acid-mouth ruins teeth, so acid-stomach
ruins health.
Take EATONIC. It's good, just like
a bit Of candy and makes the stomach
feel fine. You can then eat the things
you like and, what is more, every
mouthful you eat will count in creating
power and energy. You'll feel so much
better-have punch and pep-the power
and will to do things and get results,
and your stomach misery will be gone.
Take our advice. Get big box Of
EATONIC from your druggist today,
1t costs so little. If it fails to remove
your stomach distress, he will refund
your money. That is guaranteed, you
are to be satisfied or money refunded.

There Are Times When q Parachute Is Veyy Welcome

DARACHUTEs may come to save
many an aviator's life when
plane Is afire, or when for some
reason the machine is descending out of
control, according to an article in "The
London Acceptance"
According to this journal, the Germans
have already been thinking in terms of
parachutes for their aviators Moreover.
with aviators going up to twenty thou
sand feet, there would be ample time to
launch an attempt, whereas in the old
days, when planes flew at four thousand
feet, the chance Of successful parachute
fight would have been slim. Indeed. this
journal thinks, with a properly fitted
parachute, the pilot and his passenger
would have "sporting chance:
Gwen the chance OF the parachutes be.
coming entanglcd in an uncomfortable de-
scent is preferable to the certainty of being
killed in the crash which is bound to hap
pen If one stays in the machine. And such
risk Of ENHANCEMENT can be reduced to a
very long chance if the slowing and launch
ing Of the parachute be properly des gncd
an the of in single scatter
who is badly wounded and feels himself
about to faint from loss of blood, it seems
that it would be better for him to release
himself in a parachute and trust to its slow
descent at some fifteen feet second than

certainty Of hitting something at about 100
feet d second even if the machine is in
herently stable and lands itself wish its
engine chopped.

"a little study and cleverness would make
