Diseased nerves are traceable d.
rectly TO poor digestion. and poor di-

tarrh. With the slightest catarrh OF
the stomach no one can have good d.

Very few of the many women who
have catarrh OF the stomach suspect
what their real trouble is. They know
they belch after meals, have sour
stomach. a sensation of weight or
heaviness. a fullness, irregular appe.
tite. drowsiness, gnawing. empty sen-
