There are millions Of people who
suffer almost daily from the horrors
of an Observation-Disclosures; sour,
gassy, stomach; distressing heartburn
sickening food-repeating;; painful
bloat and that miserable, puffed up,
lumpy feeling after eating. Many of
these people have tried treatment after
treatment; medicine after medicine ;
others have gone to doctors and stom-
ach specialists and some to hospitals,
but in spite of all of their efforts they
have obtained no lasting relief or a
permanent cure.
These symptoms simply mean acid
stomach. IF allowed to run on, they
are very likely to cause a lot of serl-
GUS trouble. Dyspepsia, rheumatism,
govt, lumbago, sciatica, splitting head
ache, dizzy spells, nervousness, sleep
lessness, mental depression, melan-
cholia, feeling Of llstieSsness and
ll-goneness-these are just few OF
the disorders which can be traced to
acid-stomach. AS a matter of fact,
acid-stomach is often the direct cause
Of those almost incurable conditions
known as catarrh Of the stomach, in
festival ulcer, and cancer of the stom-
ach. The lives Of those who suffer
from these serious troubles are moth

which are taken from the educational
fund annually. Formerly it was more, y
he continues, "but the passage of the
act in 1915 allowing the governor y
borrow funds in the name of the
state, lessened the interest charges
This means that appropriations for
this purpose are reduced by just this

this is, of course, the fact that whel

ming OF the year, while the takes for
their support were not collected until
