ing his frame, for he walks erect and
with the quick tread Of soldier

visibility Of permitting American

}ACID IN STOMACH
: SOURS THE FOOD
Says Excess of Hydrochloric
Acid is Cause of In
digestion.

A we'll known authority states
THAT stomach trouble and indiges-
ton is nearly always due to acid
}ity-acid stomach-and not, as
most folks believe. from lack of
digestive juices. He states that
an excess Of hydroch1oric acid in
the stomach retards digestion and
starts food fermentation, then our
meals sour like garbage in a can,
forming acrid fluids and gases
I which initiate the stomach like a
toy balloon. We then get that
heavy, lumpy feeling in the chest,
we eructate sour food, belch gas
or have heartburn, fatulence, wa
terbrash or nausea.
! He tells us to lay aside all diges-
tive aids and instead get from any
pharmacy four ounces of Jad Salts
and take tablespoonful in glass
Of water before breakfast while it
is effervescing. and furthermore,
ITO continue this for one week.
While relief follows the first dose,
it is important to reutralize the
acidity. remove the gas-making
mass, start the liver. stimulate the
kidneys and thus promote a free
flow OF pure digestive juices.
lad Salts is inexpensive and is
made from the acid OF grapes and
! lemon luice, combined with lithia
and sodium phosphate. This harm
less salts is used by thousands of
people for stomach trouble with
J excellent results.
