Indigestion Causes
Ca&a1rh Of the
Stomach.

For many years it has been supposed that
Catarrh of the Stomach caused indigestion
and dyspepsia, but the truth is exactly the
opposite. Indigestion causes cataryh. 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 is
called Catarrh of the Stomach.
