The most frequent affection of the
stomach is catarrh, as the delicate mem.
brane which lines the stomach is easily
irritated by harmful food or overeating.

toms of stomach trouble. Take this
friendly warning in the spirit in which
it is given and profit by it.
Shortness of breath, black specks be-
fore the eyes, furred tongue, dizziness,
belching of gases or sour food, weakness
and debility are all signs of catarrh of
the stomach. There is no need to be
unduly alarmed, for this disease can be
cured by Mona. 1t is the only remedy
that strikes at the root of the evil and
actually cures the disease.
1t does not contain opium in any form,
acids, alcohol, or any other harmful drug
or chemical. 1t is pure remedy that
heals the irritated mucous membrane,
stimulates the solar plexus, and aids
digestion.
