They haven't that fine empty hungry eat-everything- insight kind of feeling which goes with every good strong healthy stom- ach. That's because they have dys- pepsia. And then there are others whose mouths don't water at meal time or at any other time. They sit at the table and go through the mo- tions, only because it's time to eat These people. too. are dyspeptics.
 Every possible kind of stomach trouble can be cured by taking some thing which will just take right hold of all the food in your stomach and digest 1t alone without the help of the stomach. and let the stomach take rest.
