DANGER SIGNALS
OF INDIGESTION
The Disease That Strikes Like
Lightning

Beware of indigestion-the dis
ease that kills more people and
KILLS them quicker than any other.
Ihls warning. by physicians, is par
ticularly applicable this season of
the year, when your system "lets
Down" in tone and vigor with the
FIRST approach of warm weather.
What are the warnings that ma
tare gives YOU of the approach Of
indigestion? The medical books tell
Us; l. Gas, which means that your
food is fermenting instead of d.
costing. 2. A feeling of fullness or
oppression in the region of the stom-
aeh after eating This means that
the gas has ballooned your stom-
aeh and IS pressing up against your
heart and lungs. 3. A dull, lazy
feeling, which means that YOU are
not getting the nourishment from
what you are eating. A. Restlessness,
uHrefreshing sleep, which means
that the poisons of indigestion are
disturbing your brain and nerves.
81 Sometimes, pain and fluttering
around the heart, though this symp-
tom may com later.
Don't take chances with indiges-
tfon--you are too apt to lose. If you
have had any of the symptoms men
toned above, get your digestive
organs to work at once with Dan
Max, the greatest prescription that
was ever written for a digestive
tonic. DanyNax immediately aids and
assists every one of your digest
i've organs, including the stomach,
liver and DO els. Dan-Nax makes
your digestion perfect and com
pTete." You feel its helpful effect
from the verv first dose. Get a bot
tie of Dan-Nax today at any drug
store. Dan-Nax is so much superior
to any other remedy for indigestion
that the manufacturers have in
structed every druggist to refund
the price if you do not get relief
50 it costs you nothing if you are
not delighted with results. Delay
might be dangerous, get DanNax

Briskow's face when the latter
revived. Buddy's eyes were wild,
he did not recognize this unpleas-

issued from the shapeless lips.
Briskow lifted his head; he tried
to rise, but fell back Imply, for as

The fight went TO a draw although
some newspapermen gave Burman a
shade. -Four other bouts preceded the
main event and the police were con-
eerned In getting the fans into the
club rather than In keeping them
away. The police themselves. due TO
the injunction. were forced to stay
outside.
The Injunction was the reply OF the
boxing promoters 10 a warning issued
last week. by Chief of Police Fitz-
morris. that any boxing bout held In
Chicago would be stopped by the po-
lice. The chief acted AFTER the Law
and Order League had sent scouts 20

iy and had reported that they were
prize fights"
A Mysterious Aspect.
Last nights big crowd OF fight
fans appeared just as mysterlously as
have crowds that have attended a
dozen other matches held during the
past week in Chicago. The place
where the match was to be held was
not announced and there was not
even an announcement as to where
tickets were to be obtained. The in
itiated, however. had no trouble In
making reservations.
The Injunction restraining law Of
ficcrs from stopping last nights bout
was obtained by an American Legion
post sponsoring the matches on the
grounds that the proceeds went to
soldiers and that the event
was not prize fight.

The referee. whoever he may be, and
exert influence toward a disqualified

Orch said he had received NUM-
Der OF anonymous letters regarding
his alleged foul boxing and that
threatening letters also had been sent
10 his sick wife, Muldoon advised
Orch TO pay no attention 10 the pro-
naganda.
"You have won all your fights."
said the chairman ''and ] have never
heard Of you being disqualified for
foul tactics. no matter II the bout was
In Maine or Texas. II Is quite nppar-
ent that the referees do not regard
you as a foul fighter. even II some Of
your opponents make the charge. The
referee who will offielate at the bout
tonight will judge the bout on what 10
done in the ring and not by threats
or accusations made by Tunncy or his
partisans."
Greb said that was satisfactory TO
him.
