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 mucous 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 pharynx. 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 tlrs
condition the vile material is swal-
lowed 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 stu
ated 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 a 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, liec in the
stomach like lead.
Instead of being converted into nour-
! ishment for the blood il is changed
1 into poisonous gases, which distend
/ the stomach, dilating il so that the or
/ gans 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 its passage
along the bowels, where it causes a
sense Of distensiOn and rumbling.
There is nausea and Sometimes vom-
/ iting in the morning. with hawking
1 and gagging upon arising, and it re-
/ quires quite an effort to free the storl-
ach Of the mass Of mucous that has ac-
| cUnulated 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 innamed the
/ stomach.
Drugs that increased the suffering
rather than allayed it.
/ Under the Drs- Shores treatment the
I sraf7 ID -
/ stomach is first soothed and quieted by
| the use of proper remedies.
| The sore and infiamed spots are
/ healed, and the lining of the organ is
| restored to its WOnted tone and heal
thy condition.
/ Under this plan healing drugs quiet
/ the sore and infamed 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 Stom-
ach after taking food gives place to
I the pleasant sense of fullness and &C
companies 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.
