Indigestion Causes
Cotarrh Of the
Stomach.

For many years II has been supposed that
catarrh Of the Stomach caused Indigestion
md dyspepsia. but the truth Is exactly the
opposite. Indigestion causes catarrh. Re-
peated attacks Of indigestion inflames the
mucous membranes lining the stomach and
exposes the nerves Of the stomach, thus caus-
Ing the glands to secrete mucin instead Of
the Juices Of natural digestion. This II
called Catarrh Of the Stomach.
