ing so called "aeid indigestion.
Acid stomaehs are dangerous because
too much acid irritates the delicate
lining of the stomach, often leading
to gastrdtis accompanied by serious
stomach ulcers. Food ferments and
sours, creating the distressing gas
which distends the stomach and ham
pers the normal functions of the vital
internal organs, often affecting the
heart.
1t is the worst of folly to neglect
such serious condition or to treat
with ordinary digestive aids which
have no neutralizing effect on the stom

gist few ounces Of Bisnrated Mag
nesia and take a teaspoonful in a
quarter glass Of water right after eat

The records in the hands of the
health officer shows that in the month
of January there were twenty births
within the city limits, twelve males
and eight females. During the same
period, owing to the siege of influen-
"a and pneumonia, there were thirty
five deaths, nineteen males and six
teen females. This is probably one OF
the highest records ever made by the
city. Over against this, the records
thus far for the month of February,
with the epidemic practically wiped
out, show a remarkably low death rate.
A fact to be noted in the January rec
ords is that large percentage of the
deaths were of the younger class
from forty years downward. Ordinar-
lily the majority of deaths are either
infant children or old people in the
vicinity of seventy ears aend upwards.
