More money is spent experimenting
with worthless medicines for stomach
trouble than for any other disease
These preparations may temporarily aid
digestion but they cannot cure indiges-
ton. They go at it the wrong way.
To permanently cure indigestion, dys-

tents. 1t should not do the stomach s
work but should make the stomach able
to do its own work.
