STOMACH TROUBLES
ARE DUE TO AC|DtTY
Tells Safe, Certain, Speedy Relief
For Acid Indigestion

So-called stomach troubles, such as
indigestion, gas, sourness, stomach
ache and inability to retain food ara
i'll probably nine cases out of ten,
simply evidence that excessive secre-
ton of acid is taking place in the
stomach. causing the formation of gas
and acid indigestion.
Gas distends the stomach and
causes that full, oppressive, burning
feeling sometimes known as heart
burn. while the acid irritates and in
flames the delicate lining of the stom-
ach. The trouble lies entirely in the
excess development or secretion of
acid.
To stop or prevent this souring of
the food contents of the stomach and
to neutralize the acid, and make ii
bland and harmless, a teaspoonful of
bisurated magnesia, a good and effec-
tive corrector of acid stomach, should
be taken in a quarter of a glass of
hot or ~old water after eating or
whenever gas. sourness or acidity is
felt. This sweetens the stomach and
neutrallzes the acidity in a few mo-
ments and is perfectly harmless and
inexpensive remedy to use.
An antiacid, such as bisurated mag
nesia, which can be obtained from
G.. A. Gorgas or any druggist in
either powder or tablet form, enables
the stomach to do it's work properly
without the aid of artificial digest
ants. Magnesia comes in several
forms. so be certain to ask for and
take only Bisurated Magnesia, which
is especially prepared for the above
purpoSe.-AdvertiSe

aration for the,new highway in Cap
itol Park will go on.
Mr.. Greiner the bridge engineer
who recently passed upon the Null
berry street viaduct and who de-
signed the proposed Walnut street
structure, viii be asked to give his
estimate of the tentative plans for
the bridge at Walnut street, which
will now be merged with the states
monumental viaduct by wingway
along the Royal Terrace. This will
cost the city no more and will give
the Hill section a superior outlet to
the business center.
The state authorities having def
nitely approved the viaduct plan, 1t
necessarily follows that the Walnut
street bridge will become a part of
1t through merger of the two struc-
lures on the bluff south of Walnut
street.
Auditor General Snyder was par
ticularly emphatic against an al
Tentative plan to terminate the park
development at the railroad. He in
sisted upon the viaduct being a part
of the whole park plan.

Auditor General Snyder, who was
immensely interested in the develop
ments, had given assurance that he

that he was looking out for the in

said: Royal Terrace will have

and so will there be some means of
approach from the Twelfth street

care of the Hill and the intervening
property. 1t is an interesting prob

board that rises to a great occasion

Mr.. Drummer. who was accompanied

the plans which he discussed with
the Board. He went about the city,
