A CURE FOR STOMACH TROUBLE.
WORTH BEAGING IF YOU ARE AFFLICTED.
A mou's success in business ne wall social life depends upon his stomach,
in
If the stomach bo right the blood will be puto, the liver active, the brafa clear and the body healthy,
When you bave stomach er livor disordern they lead to other troubles; everything appears to go wrong, you aro cross, grampled and dia- satisfied with yourself and with the world.
What is the use of being at odds with every body, why not see the pleasaras of life as well as others. Why not be healthy by overcoming
that stomachic or that liter trouble.
There are two ways to do a thing, a pleasant and a disagrecable way, the pleasantest way to care your stomach trouble is by taking Abbey's Efferrescent Salt, one or two teaspoonfuls in a kalf glass of water before breakfast; you will enjoy the invigorating drought, and by the time breakfast is over, you will feel like another persou, the stomach will be working right, the blood will be at the right temperature, the brain clear and all the world som full of sun abine.
There's a logical reason why Abboy's Solt will do this, and do it botter than any other method you could try; space provents it being given here, but you will find it in the scalar round the bottle. Buy a bottle, read and then prove to your own satisfaction.

The moon is neually supposet to have solidifed from the centre to the periphery, but lunar photographs have convinced two leading French astronomers that the surface hardened first. This view modifies various theories.
The beautiful satina of old bronzes is often ascribed to some secret of composition or manu- facture that died with the ancient artist. After long observation and experiment, Dr. Otto N. Witt, a German chemist. Eade this notion to be quite unfounded, and tint, while the surface alteration of our coppors and bronzes saries greatly with slight Impurities and diference of composition, the failure to get ancient effects is largely due to the chemical changes that have taken place in city atmos pheres. The much-prized blue-green tint results from the formation of an unalterable coating of basic capric chloride. The chlorides of the sez breezes of Greece, Rome and Egypt gave this patioa, and even in inland cities, when wood w the chief fuel, the air contained little to net on copper except the hydrochloric acid from Dead Winda With the burning of coal, great quantities of sulphuric acid have been dis- charged into the atmosphere. This acid rapidly attacks objects of copper and bronze, and as the sulphatos are washed away unsightly corrosion is produced instead of tene patination. The art of the cheese maker now depends to an ever-increasing degree on bacteriology. While bacteria seon to play a smaller part in the ripening of cheese than was formerly supposed, lactic bacteria are found necessary for acidifying the milk, and specific molds are essential for the Barours characteristic of some kinds of cheers, The newest discovery is that of certain bacteria, known in Holland is "Langvey," that tend to prevent deterioration of chesse. These harmless organisms appear to exhaust the food of objec- tionable forme, and thus give a good product, whore without them no cheese at all could be made.
