japan In the War.

Japan entered the war because OF o
treaty with Great Britain, concluded
in 1902. The original alliance pre-
ceded the Russo-Japanese war. In
1905 the alliance was further extended
to provide for the defense of British
interests in India and Afghanistan,
while England agreed to give Japan
n free hand on Korea. In 1911 1t was
again modified by the agreement that
Great Britain should not be bound to
aid Japan against any power with
whom she had treaty of arbitration

n possible enemy. The alliance has
been extended to 1921.

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 ls.
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. it 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 It doesn't take
long for this poor nourishment to show
its Ill effects In weakened. emaci-
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. gout, lum-
bago, pains around the heart and in
the chest-who never dream that an

Starving in the

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 ent-just
like bit of candy. They literally
absorb the injurious excess acid and
carry 1t away through the intestines.
They also drive the blOat out OF the
body-in fact you can fairly feel 1t
work. Make test of EATON1C In
your own case today. Get big box
of EATONIC from your druggist. See
for yourself how surely 1t 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 nfter 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 II 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 fair trial this very day
and see how much better Won will feel
