PUT STOMACHIN
fine CONDITION
Says Indigestion Results from
an Excess of Hydrochloric
Acid.

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 Hyper
acidity, meaning, there Is an excess
of hydro chloric acid in the stomach
which prevents complete digestion and
starts food fermentation. Thus every
thing eaten sours in the stomach much
like garbage sours In a can. forming
acrid fluids and gases which initiate
the stomach like toy balloon Then
we feel a heavy. lumpy misery in the
chest. we belch up gas. we eructate
sour food or have heartburn, flatulence,
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 glass of
water before breakfast and drink while
1t is effervescing and furthermore to
continue this for a week. While relief
follows the first dose. it is important
to neutralize the acidity. remove the
making mass, start the liver, slim
ulate the kidneys 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
used by thousands OF people for stom-
ach trouble with excellent results.
