eries that bring so much Distress Just this
ACID-STOMACH. 1t robs millions of their
full strength, vitality and the power to enjoy
hfe-to be real men and women.
1t is we'll known that an acid mouth de-
stroys the teeth. The acid can be detected
only by chemical analysis, and still it is so
powerful that it eats right through the hard
enamel and causes the teeth to decay. This
certainlyis fair warning of what Acid Stomach
will do to the entire system; as a matter OF
fact. Acid Stomach not only produces at the
start great many painful and disagreeable
symptoms that We generally name stomach
troubles, but it is the creator OF long train
of very serious ailments. Acid -Stomach in
terferes with digestion and causes the food
to ferment, the stomach gets sour and creates
gas, and then this mass of sour, ferrnented
food passes into the intestines where it be-
comes the breeding place for all kinds OF germs
and toxic poisons, which in turn are absorbed
into the blood stream, and in this way dis
tributed throughout the entire body.
The sensible thing to do is to strike right at
the very cause OF all this trouble and get rid OF
the Acid Stomach,
There is quick, easy way to do this.

 In no circumstances, they declare, will his whereabouts be reves.ed until they have completed their investigation of the story he tells.
 An important development in the case today was the Identification of Pascol as Augusta Pasquale, with a police record in this and other cities This also led to ap examination of the finger prints of Pasquale on file at police headquar- ters here with the lIidnaper's finger prints found in the Coughln home, and it is asserted by the police that they agree sufficiently to convince them that they were made by the same man
