Achievements of Sir Isaac Newton

According to Legend, which, how
ever, is seriously considered by certain
authorities, in the year 1869 the fall
of an apple as Newton sat in his
garden suggested the most magnificent
of his subsequent diScOyerieS-the law
of universal gravitation. On his first at
tempt to explain the lunar and planet
airy motions he employed an estimate
then in use of the radius of the earth
which, based on the value of 4 degree
of latitude then prevalent, was 50 err
roneOus as to produce a discrepancy
between the real force of gravity and

motions and indicated only an approx

cordingly, he abandoned for a number
of years the hypothesis that Il homo
geneous attracting sphere behaved as
If all matter was concentrated at its
center, and took up other studies, con-
sisting chiefly of investigations of the
nature of light and the construction of
telescopes. He also propounded new
theories on light and color. Newton

One of the worst features of acid
stomach Is that very often 1t literally
starves its victims in the midst OF
plenty. And the strange thing about
1t is that the people with acid-stomachS
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 iii effects in a 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 pains. 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

Starving in the
Midst Of PI enty
Acid-Stomach Steals Strength and
Good Feelings From Millions

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 a test of EATON1C 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 whit you like and
digest your. food in comfort without
fear Of distressing after effects.
If EATONIC does not relieve you,
II will not cost you one penny. You
can return 1t to your druggist and get
your money back. So If you have the
slightest question about your health
If 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 q fair trial this very day
and see how much better you will feel.

so manipulated the cards-or rather
Carver did, for it was his deal-as to
deceive Beaucaire into firmly believ-
ing that he held an absolutely unbeat-
able hand-he was dealt four aces
and king"
The lawyer leaned forward, breath
ing heavily.
-Four aces! Only one hand is bet
ter than that, and it would be impos-
sible to get such a hand out of one
pack"
"That is exactly true, Haines. / am
no card player, but / do know that
much about the game. Yet Kirby took
the pot with a straight flush. Now,
either he or Carver slipped an extra
ace into the pack, or else Beaucaire
did, In my opinion the judge had no
chance to work such a trick. And
that's the case as it stands"
Haines jumped to his feet and be-

his hands clasped behind his back.
