Bishop Harding took UP various
subjects dealing with diocesan activ-
tiles in his address. He dwelt at
some length on the Lambeth Con-
ference Of Bishops in London, which
he attended. He spoke feelingly of
the work of the late Rev. DR.. Ran
dolph H. McKim, rector of the Church
of the Epiphany, and Surgeon Cen
eral Gorgas.
He stated in the past year there
were 1,267 combinations in the Do
cese, and that he made SO addresses,
In addition to preaching ffty-two
sermons.
The convention opened this morn
ing with a combination service, at
which Bishop Harding was the cele-
brant. Tonight a missionary meee
ing will be held In st. stephens
Church. at which Bishop Thurston
and the Rev. James f.. Freeman,
newly-appointed rector OF the Church

STOMACH TROUBLES
ARE DUE To AC|D|TY
Tells Safe, Certain, Speedy Relief For
Acid Indigestion.

Acid IndtScsuOn.
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
delicate lining of the stomach The
trouble lies entirely in the excess de-
velopment or secretion of acid.
To stop or prevent this souring OF
the food contents of the stomach and
TO neutralize the acid, and make it
bland and harmless, teaspoonful of
bisurated magnesia, a good and ef-
fective corrector of acid stomach,
should be taken in a quarter of a
glass. of hot or cold water after cat
Ing or whenever gas, sournesS or acid
ity is felt. This sweetens the stom-
ach and neutralizes the acidity in a
few moments ana is a perfectly harm
less and inexpensive remedy to use.
An antiacid. such as bisurated mag
nesia which can be obtained from
any druggist in either powder or tab
let form enables the stomach to do it's
work properly without the aid Of arti-
fcial digestants. Magnesia comes in
several forms, 50 be certain to ask
for and take only Bisurated Magnesia,
which is especially prepared for the
above purpose.
