Make This est For
Acid Stomach

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, pulled up,
lumpy feeling after eating. Many of
these people have tried treatment after
treatment; medicine after medicine I;
Others have gone to doctors and st0m-
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

0IENTSIN, called the panorama
city Of China, came into pub

city of China, came into pub
lie notice again recently be-
cause OF disorders In which
Americans and japanese were inv0lv-
ed. To walk about Tientsin is to trnv-
el, says bulletin of the National
Geographic society. An afternoons
stroll from the native to the British,
French, Italian, Russian and other for
eign quarters gives the sensation Of a
magic tour through Picking, Londcn,
Paris. Rome and Petrograd. And the
wlndmllls among the salt mounds just
outside the city add touch Of Holland.
This panorama city has had tenn
pestu0us history. There n group Of
American and other foreign residents

Tended themselves for month against
the fanatic boxers In 1900.
Since then the native city has been
known as Cheng-li, or "Town Without
Wallis" because the ancient barriers
were demolished during the siege. OF
the 800 doughty foreigners more than
fifty were killed and many others
wounded before military aid came.
Tientsln was the scene Of another
famous siege, that Of the TAPPING reb-
els In 1853. Followers Of Hung Sin
Tsuan, who had professed Christianity
and set himself up In Marking as the
Heavenly King" marched toward
Picking. But the Waterloo of the "lOng-
haired rebels" so called because they
would not plat their queues and thus
signify loyalty to the Manchus, came
at Tientsin.
"chinese" Gordon's Victory.
The success Of the campaign against
the revOluti0nlsts was due principally
to the gallant Chinese Gordon, Gen.
Charles George Gordon, and his lever
victorious army" But the fact would
not be suspected from rending the i'm
perial edlct issued by the former con-
cubine who had elevated herself to
Empress Dowager. The edict set forth
that "thls glorious victory Is entirely
due to the bountlful protection of heav-
EN-, to the ever-present help of our an.
cestors and to the foresight of the EN-
press regent" tribute is paid to the
Chinese generals, "who have been
combed by the wind and bathcd in the
rain" and one of them was awarded
the decoration Of the double-eyed pea
cocks feather.
Commanding the native force at Tien-
tsln was Seng-ko-lln-sin, a MOngol gen.
eral, whe later distinguished himself
less creditably. In 1860 he sought to
defend Tientsln against a foreign ex-
petition by erecting an immense mud |
outside the city. Tientsin
was captured and held for two years
by the British and French and the
crude defense Is known in the foreign |
quarters us "Seng-ko-lIn-sin's folly"
The region about Tientsin was
known as Chl-chou. under the Hsin dyn-
asty, whose rulers, 1900 years ago,
