The Annoyance
Os Flatulence
Many People Are Annoyed With Gas in
The Stomach and Intestines.
Flatulence is due to the presence of
gas in the stomach and intestines,
which often rolls about, producing bor
borygmi, or rumbling noises in the in
testinal system, and causes the victim
of this trouble considerable embarrass
ment, when such noises occur while in
company.
An anaylsis of gas from the stomach
show s that it consists to a great extent
of nitrogen and carbonic acid. It is
therefore probable that some of the
gas in the stomach consists simply of
air which has been swallowed, although
for the most part the source of flatu
lence is the gas given off from the
food in the abnormal processes of de
composition.
In cases of chronic gastric catarrh,
the secretion of gastric juice in the
stomach is deficient, the food is di
gested slowly, and fermentation oc
curs with the evolution of gas.
Swallowed air, however, plays a
more important part in causing flatu
lence, or gas in the stomach and in
testines than is generally supposed,
and while food may be swallowed with
out carrying air into the stomach with
it, fluids, especially those of a tenace
ous character, such a« pea soup, appear
to carry down a great deal
Flatulent distension of the intes
tines occurs when a large amount of
gas or air either swallowed or evolved
from the decomposition of food,
escapes from the stomach into the in
testines through the pylorus. The
enormous distension of the intestines
-and dilatation of the stomach with
the rapidity with which
such flatulence occurs, has long been
a puzzle to medical men, and has led
some to think that the only possible
explanation thereof, is a rapid evolu
tion of gas from the blood.
In the treatment of gas in the stom
ach and intestines, charcoal is con
sidered by most physicians as the lead
ing and most effective remedy. Car
minatives, or medicines, such as pep
permint, cardamom, sodium bicarb.,
etc., which expel the gas from the
stomach in large volumes through the
mouth are resorted to by some people,
but-their use is disagreeable, and the
frequent expulsion of gas through the
mouth, most annoying, and after tak
ing a remedy of this kind, one is com
pelled to remain out of company the
rest of the day, on account of the
continued belching of air.
STUART’S CHARCOAL LOZENGES
do away with the necessity of under
going the disagreeable experience of
belching or expelling stomach gases
through the mouth by completely ab
sorbing every particle of gas or swal
lowed air in the stomach, and also in
the intestinal system, which prevents
colic, and over-distension with accu
mulated air.
These wonderful lozenges should be
used for all cases of flatulence and
decomposition of food in the stomach,
as well as for bad breath resulting
from catarrh, decayed teeth, or stom
ach trouble.

A Cure Tor That Tired Teeling
(Continued from Pane Tk>o)
her presence known by a knock at
the door. She hears that Jesus is
in the home of Simon, the Phari
see, and she knows she has no
business there; He is invited a
guest to his house, and yet she
comes, and when she sees Jesus
she does not wait until He gets
through dinner; she does not wait un
til the Pharisee gets through his talk
with Him. You could not be hired to
do a thing like that. If I had a man
as guest at my house today, you could
not, as intimate as you are with me,
you could not be persuaded to rush
into my house and to my dinner table
as she did. She walked right in and
dropped down at his feet, smashed an
alabaster box of anointment and pour
it out at His feet, wiping his feet with
the hair of her head, weeping all the
while. Simon did exactly what any
ordinary man would have done; he
said, “Master, don’t pay any atten
tion to this woman; she is a sinner;”
of course he thought she was; she
did not belong to his family or to his
crowd; and no doubt he told that wo
man by a look of his eye to get out.
Then Jesus turned to him and said,
“Simon, there are some things you
do not understand that you need to
understand and that the world needs
to understand, and I want to give it
to you; it will do you more good
than anything I could say to you. The
reason why she did this is because
she loves much.” That was enough.
Simon had in his heart enough love
to understand that love was liable
to drive one to do anything. Have
you wondered why she broke all con
ventionalities and went to dinner
where she was not invited under such
circumstances as this? The Master
gives the key—“she loves much.” Cer
tainly we need nothing more than
that; certainly all of us know some
thing of the driving of the dynamic
of love. It blazes the way before we
start and drives us in the direction
that it wants us to go, and there is no
hardship, no burden, no weariness, no
worry.
I was going across the Alps one
time with a party and our guide car
ried us through a little winding way
up to a beautiful little peak and on
that peak was a little shrine, and the
guide told us this little story: Long
ago a father and son, crossing the
Alps, were arrested by Swiss soldiers
as spies, though they were not spies,
and the sentence passed was this:
“One of you must die; the other shall
live, though he will be our prisoner.”
The father said: “I will die, and you
go with them to the prison;” the son
said: “No, father, I will die, and you
go to prison.” “No son,” said the
father, “my life is almost past any
way; I have not much longer to live;
you go as the prisoner; they will par
don you after awhile and you can go
back to the family.” “No, father, I
will die; mother needs you more than
she needs me.” And so they kept
arguing as to which should die for
the other, until they found that they
were getting no closer to the solution
of the problem, and the boy suddenly
drew from his pocket a knife and
stabbed himself and dropped to the
ground dead. They built a monument
there and a shrine and many people
go there to worship.
THE CAUSE OF CARELESSNESS.
Whether this story is true or not, it
is a beautiful little story and serves
to illustrate what I want to impress.
If we could just see that the great
need of the church is not more law,
not more regulations, not more or
ganizatin, not more discipline, as
much as that is needed; not more

commandments. The one supreme
need of the church is more love to
Jesus. Why is it that it is so hard
to get people to do their duty to their
church? Why is it that in the average
church I know anything about the pas
tor can stand and beg and plead until
his heart breaks for people to meet
him at the week-night prayer meeting
to pray for the church, to pray for
the one organization-that is to live by
prayer, and yet when that night comes
he finds just a little handful of the
same people that have been coming.
Why? for the same reason that the
Prophet Malachi flung this indictment
at Israel: “It is a hardship; I am
tired; when night comes I want to
rest; I want to be with my family;
therefore I will not go.” Why is it
that after begging and pleading with
the women of the church to come to
the women’s meetings that they never
come? Why? For the same reason;
“It is wearisome; it is a hardship.”
Why is it that after we beg Christian ,
people to come into a campaign for
saving souls, though it is to be of only
a week’s duration, just about two
thirds of the church pay any atten
tion to it? “It is wearisome; it is a
hardship.”
Church people are getting to the
place where you cannot get them into
the service of God because they are
hunting ease; nights of leisure in their
homes, and pleasure with theiigg|am
ilies. And that is a thing to bjfSM||||
ed, but I tell you God has sonwi
for his people to do, and t»
times when God’s call is ab<J|

men to buckle on the armoij
the fight for righteousness
ity, and in a warfare men ffl
, sider their feelings; their t||
ease and luxury. a Ji
tate to fight for his
at home when to
be working for his family? No; and
it is the love for his country and the
love for his folks that makes his
fighting and his working a thing to be
gloried in; not to be dreaded and
shirked. The pain is eliminated when
the service is a service of love. And
the only remedy for this state of affairs
is an awakening of Christian people
to the goodness of God, and a thrilling
of their hearts with love for Him;
then to serve Him will be a pleas
ure, something to anticipate with a
thrill of joy, instead of a shudder
of dread. Oh! the excuses that are
offered for carelessness in serving
God. The college man must study;
the business man must look after his
business, the laborer must rest. And
when it comes to a last analysis it is
only a question of who is on the
throne and who on the cross. Is
Christ on the throne, and self in the
cross? Or is self occupying the
throne and keeping Christ nailed to
the cross? Oh! that Christian people
might get things adjusted as they
ought to be! Then, and not until
then, instead of saying with Israel,
“Behold! what weariness is it! How
tired I get of it all;” we will be
anxious to get into God’s service. Be
afraid to leave God out of your ac
count for any pleasure that home or
business or friendship or anything else
can possibly bring to you. This is
the day when hands are to be shown
and colors to be lifted and people are
to see where we stand and why they
are judging the cause of Christ by
our willingness- to sacrifice for it. You
had better be careful how you let your
life of ease and of self-gratification
stand between you and God. I know

Wine of Cardui.
Mrs. Clark, who lives in
Miss., writes: “Cardui has been worn?
more to me than a carload of silver.
If it had not been for Cardui, I would
have been dead. I love a dollar, but I
have never seen one that I do not
think as much of, as I do of a bottle
of Cardui. I now keep it in my house,
as regularly as I do coal oil or coffee,
and have done so for years.
“Some years ago I jumped off a
horse and had a mishap, and for about
four years after that I suffered in
tense agony. At last I was induced tc
try Cardui, which cured me, and now
I am well and happy.
“I am sure Cardui will cure othei
sick ladies as it has me.”
Cardui is for women. It acts spe
cifically and in a natural manner on
the womanly system and has been
found to relieve pain and to restore
woman’s health.
If you are nervous, miserable, or
suffering from any form of female
trouble, try Cardui. What it has done
for other sick ladies it surely can do
for you. Sold by all first class drug

One man says, “I do not go
Iteause I know what is to be talked
rabout and I am not interested.” Poor,
selfish Lilliputian. Is there nothing
you are hunting for but self-edifica
tion? Is there no
bility of persons or co-operation resting
upon your heart? Suppose I were
never to preach a sermon that did not
edify me? Suppose I only talked such
talk as my heart wanted me to talk?
You can readily see where that would
lead.
Another man does not come because
“There are some thing taking place
that I do not exactly like; if things
were operated differently I would go.”
Oh, God knows that but for the fact
that He Himself is backing His church
with such ideas of church service
the church of God would have been
wiped off the face of the earth long
ago. Excuse after excuse is offered
for carelessness in serving God and
after all it devolves itself down to one
thing that can be expressed in the one
word —our subject—apostasy; back
sliding, lack of love for God, and the
reason of it all is we do not take time
to get acquainted with God. How can
we love one whom we do not know?
How much time do we spend
acquainted with Him through readL
ing His Word? through prayer? Oh! ’
may it not be said of us: “Ye also said
Behold what weariness is it, and ye
have groaned at it,” but may we grow
in love for Him daily and the outcome
will be true, sincere service in and
for His Kingdom. ;
