STOMACH TROUBLES AREDUE TOAC|D|TY
Tells Safe, Certain, Speedy Relief For
 Acid Indigestion

So-called stomach troubles, such as
 indigestion. gas, sourness, stomach ache and inability to retain food. are
 in probably nine cases out of ten sim ply evidence that excessive secretion of acid is taking place in the stomach, causing the formation of gas and acid indigestion.
 Gas distends the stomach and causes that full. oppressive, burning feeling sometimes known as heartburn, while
 the acid irritates and inflames the del
 icate lining of the stomach. The trou- ble lies entirely in the excess develop
 ment or secretion of acid.
 To stop 6r prevent this souring of the food contents of the stomach and to neutralze the acid and make ii bland and harmless. teaspoonfu1 ot bidlrated magnesia. a good and ef- fective corrector of acid stomach should be taken in quarter of g

 An antiacid such as bisurated mag nesia. which can be obtained from any i druggist. in either powder or table J form, enables the stomach to do it: , work properly without the aid of arti l ficial digestents.

ordered him to report Immediately

to the Tavern he was on the way back

How was he to find the courage to
impart the appalling news to her? He
was now convinced beyond all doubt
that the so-called Sprouse had made
off with the priceless treasure and
that only a miracle could bring about
it's recovery. He realized to what ex-
tent he had been shaped into tool to
be used by the master craftsman. He
saw through the whole Machiavellian
scheme, and he was also now NOR
ally certain that Sprouse would have
sacrificed him without the slightest
hesitation.
In the event that anything went
wrong with their enterprise, the man
would have shot him dead and earned
the gratitude and commentator of his
associatesl He would have beea

They found two small leather

Barnes ears. He glanced about in sur
prise and alarm. No one was in sight.
sLook up, young man," and the
startled young man obeyed. His gaze
halted at q window on the second
story, almost directly over his head.
Mr.. Sprouse was looking down upon
him, his sharp features fixed in sar-
donic grin.
"Well, I'll be d." burst from
Barnes lips.
Surprised to see me, Ell? If you're
not in hurry, I'd certainly appreciate
a lift as far as the Tavern, old man.
I'll be down in a jiffy. Stand aside |!

he swung over the sill, and dropped
lightly to the ground eight feet below.

your name is"

"You do?" sneered Sprouse. "Tll
