II You Need a Medicine

It is that SO many products that are ex-

We must not question or reply or ex-
cuse ourselves. We must not pick

will compensate for disobedience in
some other particular. God gives one
command at time; if we obey this

acid-stomach is the real cause Of the
trouble.
Naturally, the sensible thing to do
is to strike right at the very cause Of
this trouble and clean the excess acid
out of the stomach. There is quick,
easy way to do this. A wonderful new
remedy quickly removes the excess
acid without the slightest discomfort.
1t is EATONIC. Made In the form
of tablets they are good to eat-just
like bit Of candy. They literally
absorb the injurious excess acid and
carry it away through the intestines.
They also drive the bloat out Of the
body-in fact you can fairly feel 1t
work. Make test of EATONIC in
your own case today. Get big box
of EATONIC from your druggist. See
for yourself how surely It brings quick
relief in those painful attacks Of in
digestion, bitter heartburn. belching,
disgusting food repeating, that awful
bloated. lumpy feeling after eating and
other stomach miseries. Danish all
your stomach troubles SO completely
that you forget you have stomach.
Then you can eat what you like and
digest your food In comfort without
fear Of distressing after effects.
If EATONIC does not relieve you,
It will not cost you one penny. You
can return It to your druggist and get
your money back. So II. you have the
slightest question about your health
III YOU feel you are not getting all
the strength out of your food-if you
are not feeling tip-top, ready for your
work, full Of vim and vigor-do give
EATONIC fair trial this very day
and see how much better you will feel.

Starving in the
Midst OF PLENTY
Acid -Stomach Steals Strength and
Good Feelings From Millions

One of the worst features of acid
stomach Is that very often 1t literally
tstarves its victims In the midst OF
plenty. And the strange thing about
it is that the people with acid-stoma chs
seldom know what their trouble
really is.
No matter how good or wholesome
the food may be, or how much they
eat, they do not gain in strength.
This Is clearly explained by the fact
that an acid-stomach cannot properly
digest food. Instead Of healthy, nor
NAL digestion, the excess acid causes
the food to sour and ferment. Then
when this mass OF sour, fermented
food, charged with excess acid, passes
into the intestines, 1t becomes the
breeding place for all kinds Of germs
and toxic poisons, which in turn are
absorbed into the blood and in this
way distributed throughout the entire
body. And that is exactly why 1t is
that so many thousands Of people eat
and eat and keep on eating and yet
are literally starving In the midst Of
plenty. Their acid-stOmachs make 1t
absolutely impossible for them to get
the full measure Of nourishment out
of their food. And 1t doesn't take
long for this poor nourishment to show
its i'll effects in weakened, enact
ated body.
You may say: my stomach doesn't
hurt me-" That may be true because
many victims of acid-stomach do not
actually suffer stomach palms. Then
again, there are millions who do suffer
all Kinds Of aches and pains-head-
aches, rheumatic twinges, govt, lum-
bago, pains around the heart and In
the chest-who never dream that an

brother is now fifth baronet of his line
Sir Aubrey Dean-Paul
She grew to be a bewitchingly beautiful
girl, and after several seasons of brilliant
conquests in London society she married
Colonel Thomas Atherton, a dashing officer
of the Twelfth Lancers. This match rather
astonished society, where it was thought
that the reigning beauty would at least
marry an earl
When the Boer War broke out Colonel
Atherton was ordered there, and his wife,
like many other society women, followed
him. After time there filtered past the
censor reports Of amazing gayeties at Cape
town. in which Mrs. Atherton and certain
favored officers participated. The Mount
Nelson Hotel at Capetown was the scene
of most of these revels but for q time
they were transferred to headquarters
near the Modder River battlefield.
The young Duke of Westminster. the
richest duke in England. then barely
twenty-one years old, fell captive to Mrs.
Atherton's charms in South Africa. The
duke was really engaged to younger
beauty, Miss Sheila CORVALLIS West, who
threatened to break the engagement whom

Mrs. Stirling replied with a counter-suit,

brought an astonishing revelation Of the

noblemen and chorus girls. Mrs. Stirling
complained Of finding her husband sitting
In Mrs. Atherton's lap late at night, but
