SAYS ACID STOMACH
CAUSES INDIGESTION
Excess of hydrochloric acid sours
the food and forms
gases.

Undigested food delayed in the
stomach decays, or rather, ferments
the same as food left in the open air,
says a noted authority. He also tells
US that Indigestion. is caused by Fly
per-acidity. meaning, there Is an ex-
cess Of hydrochloric acid in the stom-
ach which prevents complete diges-
ton and starts food fern entation.
Thus everything eaten sours in the
stomach much like garbage sours in
q can, forming acrid fluids and gases
which initiate the stomach like a toy
balloon. Then we feel a heavy, lum-
py. misery in the chest, we belch up
gas. we eructate sour food or have
heartburn, fiatulence, water-brash or
nausea.
He tells us to lay aside all digestive
aids and instead, get from any phar-
macy four ounces of Jad Salts and
take a tablespoonful in a glass of wa
ter before breakfast and drink while
1t is effervescing and furthermor to
continue this for week. While re-
lief follows the first dose, it Is import

stimulate the kidneys and thus pro-
mote a free flow of pure digestive
Juices.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and is
made from the acid Of grapes and
lemon Juice, combined with litl1ia and
sodium phosphate. This harmless
salts is used by thousands of people
for stomach trouble with excellent re-
suits.
