It up and paint It.
Whitewash everything you can't

Plant lawns, flowers and trees,
Wherever the ground shows bare, plant
something green In It.
Exercise (he same supervision over

Trim up trees which are too low and
which overhang sidewalks.
If there are any dead trees around,
pull them up and start new onee.

against pepsin, as an unsavory animal
product, for too tow of them are'
aware, of tho nature of pepsin to
cauao a limitation of Its usefulness on
that account; nor Is It due to ths
undeniable fact that pepsin loses it*
efficacy on being exposed. It seems
to be largely due to the spreading
knowledge that pepsin must act In sn
acid medium, and that It has, there
fore, no effect whatever In eases
where the seat of the trouble la In tbe
Intestines. This Is the definite limi
tation of pepsin, that, In order for it
to do Its work, the stomach mnst be
acid in reaction, whereas tbe Intes
tines In which most obstruction (and
consequently most fermentation) oo-
curs, Is always alkaline.
On the other hand, the neutralis
ing agents correct the excess of acid
In the stomach, stop the fermentation,
and thus put a check on the forma
tion of gas In the Intestines. Further
more they tend to Increase the flow of
the digestive secretions, and have n
distinct value In eliminating from the
system waste products.
We give below the formula of one
of the beat neutralising mixtures,
that can be readily prepared by any
one at borne:
