WHY ACID STOMACHS ARE DANGEROUS. Scientific Reports, May:— Acid in the stomach is dangerous and frequently fatal, because acid from its corrosive nature lias a natural tendency to destroy the mucous lining of the stomach itself. No one intentionally swallows hydrochloric acid, but it is often present in large quantities as the result of food fermentation in the stomach resulting from the chemical action which so frequently follows the eating of the daintiest and most tasty foods or the indulgence in any form of alcoholic stimulants, including beer, wine, liqueurs, etc. This fermentation causes pain, uneasiness, and discomfort because of the acid which burns like a red-hot iron, and the formation of gas which distends the stomach, causing shortness of breath and palpitation of the heart. The trouble being entirely due to the unnatural condition of stomach contents, and not in any way to the fault of the stomach itself, physicians have adopted with marvellous success the plan of neutralising the acid and stopping the fermentation by means of half a teaspoonful of simple bisuraled magnesia taken in a little watei immediately after eating or whenever discomfort is felt. The immediate relief following the use of Bisuratcd Magnesia is striking proof of the contention of medical men that failure to digest food properly is almost invariably due to the acid condition of food contents, and in no way the fault of the stomach or vital organs. — Advt.

To trifle with a cold by drugging the stomach is as foolish as to neglect it altogether. One should lose no time in treating a cold by the modem, commonsense method of "NAZOL " Taken on lump sugar, which is allowed to dissolve slowly in the mouth, tho "NAZOL" fumes penetrate to the seat of trouble and bring relief. Or a few deep inhalations through a Nazol Inhaler will clear away catarrh, and quickly case soro tlnoats and cheats. Sixty doaes of "NAZOL" cost eighteenpouco.— Advi.
