What Doctors Prescribe
For Indigestion
Physicians who have specialized In
the treatment of stomach troubles are
naturally in a position to Judge intel
ligently as to the best thing to use.
It is therefore a matter of vital Inter
est to those who suffer from indiges
tion, gastritis, dyspepsia, pain after
eating, heartburn, etc.. to learn that
physicians who have devoted their
lives to the alleviation of human suf
fering are more and more instructing
these sufferers to get a package of
Bi-nesia from the druggist and take
a teaspoonful in a little hot water
Immediately after eating or whenever
pain is felt. Doctors who prescribe
Bi-nesia, do so because they know it
gives Immediate relief in nearly
every instance—because it is not a
secret remedy, for the formula ,1s
printed on the label, and last, but not
least—because it is obtainable of all
druggists, and every package contains
a binding guarantee of satisfaction or
money back. In view of the quick
and lasting relief obtained In nearly
every instance, and the guarantee that
in case It falls It costs you nothing,
sufferers from dyspepsia. Indigestion
and stomach troubles generally are
strongly advised to get a package of
81-nesia from their nearest druggist
and begin Its use without delay.—Ad
vertisement.

ACTION TO PLACE
NAME ON BALLOT
Mandamus Filed in Cumber
land to Compel Commis
sioners to Include Wertz
Carlisle, Pa., Oct. 15.—A manda
mus action was filed late Saturday
afternoon against the Board of
County Commissioners by attorneys
for Israel C. -Wertz, of Shlremans
town, who claims that the officials
refuse to put Mis name on the bal
lot for a two-year term as poor di
rector.
The question will be rushed to an
early decision, as the ballots for the
November election are yet to be pre
pared. The Commissioners take the
stand that the County Chairman
failed to certify that any men were
to be elected for such a term and
that, consequently, they are not
bound by law to print the name.
W. S. Burns, of Enola, a Republi
can, was elected to the post in 1915
to serve four years. He resigned and
J. Morris Miller, of Shiremanstown,
was appointed to fill the unexpired
term. Friends of Wertz, who is the
Democratic nominee, hold that this
appointment, made early in the pres
ent year, was to run only until the
next election and others that it was
until the expiration of the term.
In the primaries the name of
Wertz was put in nomination by writ
ing his name on the ballot. J. Mor
ris Miller, the present incumbent,
was nominated on the Republican
ticket In the same way. A number
of legal points are said to be Involved
in the case.
