1t is Subjected.
Many and grievous are the abuses
to which the average person subjects
the stomach. The wonder is, not that
so many, but that so few stomachs

When the long abused stomach
does turn, life is made miserable by
sick headaches, nervousness, distress
after eating, sleeplessness, coated
tongue, specks before the eyes, gen.
eral debility and the many other
symptoms of Indigestion.
Then the weakened muscles of the
stomach need strengthening with
