The Real Way To End
 Stomach Trouble
Is To Correct the Conditions That Cause It. Don't Let Food Ferment and peeompose In Your Stomach.
Make Your Stomach Digest Your Food

Hyperchlorhydria (high-per- -k1cF- high-dreer) is a medical word mean1Eg 6 an unhealthy condition in the stomach and digestive tract that causes pre- mature fermentation of food after tt reaches the stomach Sournessr gas, acidity and heartburn result
 Artificial digestants give relief sim ply by relieving the stomach of it's sour food contents. They do not stop the fermen tation or help, the stomach.
 To overcome conditions of this kind Lee & Osgood and many other drug. gists are strongly recommending Ni- o-na Stomach Tablets, which tone ur the stomach and restore normal diges- ton by 1ooSening up the hardened bile and mucous from the stomach wallz that are preventing normal flow o1 the natural digestive juices.
