When the stomach is overload

fails to digest, it decays and in
llames the mucous membrane,
exposing tho nerves, and causes
the glands to secret mucin, in
stead of the natural juices of di
gestion. This is called Catarrh
of the Stomach. For years 1 suf

There is a law on the statute
books which imposes a penalty of
$300 fine on the dealer in fire
works and explosives who sells
toy pistols or cannon dynamite
crackers. This law is of such re
cent origin that it is not general
ly known, and perhaps dealer of
such pistols and crackers on the
Fourth of J uly will hesitate about
violating it.
In Pittsburg since Memorial
Day ten boys havo died of lock
jaw from wounds indicted by toy
pistols, and there is a loud call to
halt the sale of such dangerous
weapons. A year ugo an Oil City
dealer who sold 8 boy a toy pistol
was glad to settlo a case against
him brought by the father of the
boy, who almost died of a wouud
made by the pistol The many
deaths caused by lock-jaw are, it
is said,- duo to fulminate of mer
cury being used in the blank car
tridges instead of gunpowder as'
an explosive.
