MACNESIA BEST
FOR Classy STOMACH
Bisurated Magnesia Promptly Ends
Gas, Sourness and Acid Indiges-
ton

If everything you eat turns to gas
and your stomach is a constant fer
ment of sourness and Acid Indiges-
ton. try taking little pure Bisurat-
ed Magnesia after meals for a While
and get the immediate relief from
stomach trouble this simple prescrip-
ton unfailingly gives.
1t is a serious mistake to seek
relief from Indigestion or a bad
stomach by using pepsin or other
artificial digestants. You get relief
but weaken the stomach and do not
reach the cause which. nine times in
ten, is simply too much acid" in the
stomach. Bisurated Magnesia, taken
after meals, dissolves or neutralizes
this acid, sweetens and cleans up the
stomach, drives out gas and bloat
and let's the stomach digest your
food as nature intended without a
particle of trouble.
Reliable druggists everywhere sup
ply the genuine Bisurated Magnesia
in both powder and tablets in sealed
packages. Do not confuse with
ordinary citrate, milk or lump mag
nesia. Be sure to get Bisurated,
which is not a laxative and is es-
pecially prepared for stomach trouble.

Rheumatism
II So Crippled You Can't Use Arms or
Legs Rheuma VIII Bring Quick
Relief or Nothing to Pay

If you suffer from torturing rheu-
and suffer intensely because your -sys.
tenn is full of the dangerous poison
that makes thousands helpless and
kills hundreds years before their time,
then you need Rheuma, and need it
now.
Rheuma acts with speed; It often
brings in just o few days the relief
you have prayed for. It helps antag-
onize and drive from the system the
deadly poisons that cause Rheumatic
agony, twisted swollen, unsightly
joints and sore muscles. Rheuma Is
harmless-quick acting and one dis
covery that has forced Rheumatism
to yield and disappear.
Don't continue to suffer Rheumatic
torture-get a bottle of Rhsuma from
any druggist today. 1t must rid you OF
all Rheumatic pain or money back

ing pure milk, DR.. Thomas Tetreau.
health officer at Portland, pointed out
that until the Legislature see fit to
pass a law such as suggested by DR..

certain amount of protection in their
own hands and that there is a rem
edy in the requirement of pasteuriza-
ton of milk, He declared that So
per cent of the milk sold in Portland
is paSteuriZed.
While there IS at present no Maine

ing that all milk sold must be from

Dairy Inspector Osgood Speaks
What the State department of ag-
riculture is accomplishing in the SUI
pervision of production of milk, was
outlined by State Dairy Inspector c.
P. Osgood. In the last few years
towns which heretofore have not
given any attention to the milk sup
ply are now raising money for that
purpose" he asserted. Most of this
work is being done by the health Of
ficers of the respective towns. 4
! great deal of work, although MOTTO
any great extent in this State, is be
ing done by the milk companies
themselves through the sending of
inspectors into the field and educat-
ing the farmers throughout the milk
shed of the town. These men per-

themselves. In addition to this, a

through competition to which must
be attributed a great deal. We have
a good example of this work in the

AS. a result, one usually feels better
than before the cold began.
Millions now employ it. When
they learn its results they keep it
ever on hand. Then a cold rarely
gets started.
Here is all -in-all for colds-the
best modern science knows. Things
will change tomorrow if you take it
now. Go start it without delay.
