Stomach Troubles
Due to Acidity
SO SAYB EMINENT SPECIALIST.
Ho-oabed stomach troubles, sunh «s
indigestion, wind, and stomach-ache are
In probably nine rases out of ten simply
evidence that fermentation Is taking
place In the food contents of the stom
ach, causing the formation of gas and
acids. Wind distends the stomach, arid
causes that full, oppressive feeling some
times known ns heartburn, while the
acid Irritates and inflames the delicate
lining of the stomscb The trouble lies
entirely In the fermenting food Koch
fermentation Is unnatural, and Held
formation Is not only unnatural, but
may Involve most serious consequences
If not '■< greeted. To stop or prevent fer
mentation of tho food contents of the
stomach and to neutralize the acid, arid
render tt bland anil harmless, a tea
spoonful of blsurated magnesia, probably
the best and most effective corrector of
acid stomach known should he taken
In a quarter of a glass of hot or cold
water Immediately after eating, or when
ever wtn<s, or acidity Is fell This slops
the fermentation, arid neutralizes the
aridity In a few moments. Fermenta
tion, wind snd acidity are dangerous and
unnecessary Slop or prevent them by
the use of a proper antacid, such as
blsurated magnesia, which can lie ob
tained from any druggist and thus en
able the stomach to do Its work proper
ly without being hindered by poisonous
gas and dangerous acids.—M. k\ R.

George Elliott, a student at one of

(lie football team until his senior
year. He is then awarded a position
at (renter because of his superior
method of passing the ball, I hough his
lightness Is against him. lie over
hears the head coach say that Dick
Blackwood would make a better center
if only he could master (he pass. In
his loyalty to the college Elliott
teaches Blackwood the pass, thereby
eliminating himself, not merely from
the team, but also, as he supposes,
from the possibility of winning Mar
jorie Burgess, who has commanded
him to return for Ills answer after he
has played his first big game. The
game Is played and won, largely
through the efforts of Blackwood, and
he Is a hero. At the banquet, where
the letters are awarded, the victorious
center tells the whole story of El
liott’s sacrifice. Elliott wins one of
the letters -and Marjorie's - promise.
