Catarrh of the Stomach

When the stomach Is overloaded;
when food Is taken into 1t that fails
to digest, 1t decays and infames the
mucous membrane, exposes the
nerves and causes the glands to
secrete mucin, instead of natural
juices of digestion. This Is called
catarrh of the stomach. For years
I suffered with catarrh of the stom.
ach, caused by indigestion. Doc
tors and medicine failed me until I
used Kodol Dyspepsia Cure.-J. R.

rawlings, he bit her on the hand while
she was offering him food.
