 On the Stomach
Staurts Dyspepsia Tablets Remove lt and All Other Forms of Indi-
 uestion Quickly

That awful feeling as though there were heavy weight on your stomach-as though you had swallowed an enormous lump of lead-is caused by the failure of your stomach to thoroughly digest your foods. You may have eaten too fast or 100 much. Your stomneh may be over worked and tired out. It is too weak to produce enough of the digestive juices necessary to take proper care of the food. Gases form and cause all sorts of agony.
