GAS ON The
STOMACH
Distressing Symptom ola Form
of Stomach Trouble Which
DR.. Williams Pink Pills
viii Cure.

When the blood is poor and thin, and
the stomach in consequence is in1per-
fectly supplied with well -oxidized blood
and nerve force, the digestive process
becomes slow and fermentation OF the
food goes on, with formation OF gas and
certain acids.
The pressure OF the gas causes pain
in the stomach; sometimes it affects tl,e
heart. When the gas is belched out
through the mouth the ratient is tenn
porarily relieved. The sour risings in
the throat and burning sensations in
the throat and stomach are caused by
the acids OF fermentation.
:. There are plenty OF things to neutra-
lie these acids, or, Hsweeten the
stomach" as it is called, but they do
not cure the trouble. Pure rich blood
which VIII tone up the stomach is re-
quired, as this case shows.
Mr.. G p Randall, 9 farmer, whose
address is Box 80, Cedar Junction, Kan,
says:
About twelve years ago / had a
severe attack OF stomach trouble which
followed a general rundown condition
OF my health ! cannot describe the
severe pains had across the pit of my
stomach 1t often seemed as though
there was heavy pressure there. Many

the pills until I was cured y
The vigor and strength which comes
from healthy stomach and perfect
digestion can only be obtained by keep
ing the blood pure and red. Sufferers
from TOO much gas or acid on the ston-
ach, heartburn, tenderness or pains
through the pit Of the stomach or any
form of indigestion cannot do better
than to try DR.. Williams Pink Pills.
