Stomach Trouble.

| In many cases diseases of the nose
and throat. if neglected and unchecked.
instead of extending down into the
bronchial tubes. extend along the
oesophagus, or swallow, into the stom-
ach.
The mucus discharge is dropped in
the throat from the back part of the
nose, and in the daytime is hawked up
and expelled.
At night the nauseating material still
continues to drop into the throat.
1t first collects in the pharnyx, then
it is brought into contact with the foul
and impure air from the lungs. and is
mixed with the germs of decay.
Decomposition results, and in this
condition the vile material is swallowed
while asleep and goes to the stomach.
The decomposing discharges so swal-
lowed are poisonS-not deadly ones. but
poisons nevertheless, which act slowly
but surely, undermining the patients
constitution.
The thousands of little glands sit
uated in the lining are free to pour out
the juices that are needed to digest the
food in the healthy stomach.
With disease attacking the lining of
the stomach, the little glands are
choked up by the swelling. and their
exit is blocked by the sticky mucous
which has resulted from the inflamma-
ton.
AS consequence there is not enough
digestive juices formed and poured out
into the cavity of the stomach
The food, not having the necessary
materials to dissolve il, lies in the stom-
ach like lead.
Instead of being converted into nour-
ishment for the blood it is changed into
poisonous gases, which distend the
stomach, dilating it so that the organs
press upward on the heart and lungs
This causes a sense of smothering, re-
lief from which is only obtained by
belching up the gas, or it's passage
along the bowels. where IL causes
sense of distension and rumbling.
There is nausea, and sometimes vom-
/ iting, in the morning. with hawking
and gagging upon arising, and it re-
quires quite an effort to free the stom-
ach of the mass of mucous that has &C
cumulated in it during the night.
In some cases there is waterbrash or
heartburn, with constipation TO com
plicate matters.
The old plan of doctoring for stom-
ach troubles consisted in purges and
| emeticS.
Drugs that irritate or infiame the
| stomach.
Drugs that increased the suffering.
rather than allayed it.
| Under the Drs. Shores treatment the
inflaned and diseased lining of the
| stomach is first soothed and quoted by
the use of proper remedies.
! The sore and inflamed spots are
healed, and the lining of the organ is
restored to it's wonted tone and healthy
condition.
Under this plan healing drugs quiet
| the sore and infiamed spots that have
| been throwing out quantities of sticky,
Shiny mucous that is mixed with the
| food and has coated it over, thus pre-
venting the gastric juices from dissolv-
| ing and digesting it.
When once healed, the lining of the
stomach is enabled to serve the pur-
pose that nature intended it to serve.
The hawking and splitting in the
morning becomes less, the appetite for
| breakfast returns, there is no more
nausea where there should be desire
for food, the heartburn and waterbrash
! pass away, the bloating in the stomach
after taking food gives place to the
pleasant sense of fullness that accom-
panies the taking of a full meal
The foul gases that were belched I'D
are no longer formed and the bowels
, become regular.
The entire system experiences new
vigor from the abundance of nourish-
ment absorbed into the blood. where
foul poisons had previously been Of
fered it.
