Starving in the
Midst ofP|enty
Acid-Stomach Steals Strength and
Good Feelings From Millions

One OF the worst features Of acid
stomach is that very often it liter
ally starves its victims in the midst
of plenty. And the strange thing
about it is that the people with
acid-stomachs seldom know what
their trouble really is.
No matter how good or how
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. In
stead of healthy. normal 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 intestiues, 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 through
out the entire body. And that is
exactly why it is that so many
thousands OF people eat and eat
and keep on eating and yet are lit
orally starving in the midst of
plenty. Their acid-stOmachs make
it absolutely impossible for them to
get the full measure of nOuTish-
ment out OF their food And it
doesn't take long for this poor
nourishmeut 20 show its i'll effects
in a weakened, craciatad body.
You may say: '1-y stomach
doesn't hurt me-" That may he
true because many victims Of acid
stomach do no. actually suffer
stomach pains. Then again, there
are millions Who do suffer all kinds
OF aches aarI headaches,
Rheumatic tviugeS, govt, lumbagO,
pains around the heart and in the
chest-who never dream that an

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 a 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 a bit of candy. They literally
absorb the injurious excess acid
and carry it away through the in
testines. They also drive the bloat
out of the body-in fact you can
fairly feel 1t work. Make a test of
EATONIC in your own case today
Get a big box of EATONIC from
your druggist See for yourself
how surely it brings quick relief

ton, bitter heartburn, belching, dis
gushing food repeating, that awful

a 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 net cost you one penny. You
can return it 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 a fair
trial this very day and see how
much better you will feel.

Mr.. Tracy expressed a similar op.n-

"a great portion of the moneys de-

would be merely hurting h mself."
Mr.. Richie declared that there is no
doubt that union labor will support
the new loan.
"The men realize that the war cost
a great deal of money, and that there
are many bills still to be paid by the
nation. We all know that if the money
is not secured through the Victory

RALLY TO LOAN
Pledge Aid to Last
Campaign

Organized labor, farmers and others,
in the Third Federal Reserve District
have rallied to the support of the Vic
tory Liberty Loan in answer to the
call issued by William B. Wilson, Sec
rotary of Labor.
Labor unions, as a whole, and the
working men as individuals, fully e
ize the situation in which the govern
ment is placed by the. war, and are
willing to do all in their power to
provide the necessary remedy-hnance.
Labor is going to give its utmost
endeayor toward the success of the
Victory Liberty Loan campaign" said
Frank Feeney, national president of
the Elevator Constructors Union.
l"Any statements alleged to have been
made by labor leaders in any part
of the country purporting to say that
labor is not in sympathy with the
final war loan are untrue.
Labor is behind the loan to the
limit. Such alleged statements are
merely Bolshevik propaganda and by
no means express the sentiments of
any one connected with an accredited
labor organization"
In speaking to the farmers Of the
nation, Oliver Wilson, Master Nation
al Grange, said:
For the fifth time the government
is appealing to the people for financial
aid. On the four previous occasions
money was needed to win the war and
people of all classes literally respond
ed. Now the call m for a Victory
liberty Loan, a loan which, now that
the fight is won, is necessary to aid
in finishing the great task Of assur-
ing to all peoples liberty and demo-
cracy, that our struggles and sacri-
fees of the past few years may not
have been in vain.
