ACID IN STOMACH
SOURS The FOOD
Says Excess of Hydrochloric Acid is
Cause of Indigestion

well-known authority states that
stomach trouble and indigestion is near
ly always due to acidity-acid stomach
and not, as most folks believe, from
a lack of digestive juices. He states
that an excess of hydrochloric acid In
the stomach retards digestion and
starts food fermentation, then our
meals sour like garbage in can, form
ing acrid fluids and gases which initiate
the stomach like a toy balloon. We
then get that heavy, mmpy feeling in
the chest, we eructate sour food, belch
gas, or have heartburn, hatulenee, wa
terbrash, 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 glass of water be
fore breakfast while it is effervescing
and furthermore, to continue this for
one week While relief follows tbs
first dose, it is important to neutralizt
the acidity, remove the gasmafine
mass, start the liver, stimulate the kid
neys and thus promote a free flow OF
pure digestive juices.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and IS made
from the acid of grapes and lemon
juice, combined with lithia and sodium
phosphate. This harmless salts is useC
by thousands of people for stomach
trouble with excellent results.
