US that Indigestion is caused by
Hyper-acidity. meaning. there is an
excess of hyrochloric acid in the
stomach with prevents complete di-
gestiOn and starts food fermentation.
Thus everything eaten sours in the
stomach much like garbage sours in
can. forming acrid fluids and gases
which Initiate the stomach like a toy
balloon. Then we feel heavy
lumpy misery in the chest, we belch
up gas, we eructate sour food or have
heartburn, flatuIence, water-brash 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 a tablespoonful in a glass
or water before breakfast and drink
while II Is effervescing and further
more, to continue this for a week.
While relief follows the first dose, II

HEALTH QUERIES ANSWERED
Or. Hirshberg Replies to Inquiries
From Times Readers.

Anxious.-What is the cause OF a per-
son having an offensive breath?
The nose, teeth. tonsils or throat may
be the cause OF the bad breath. II the
person is not at all constipated and is
fairly active with the limbs. the Often
sive breath may be accommodated by
the use Of good tooth brush. Il disin-
fecting tooth paste. dental floss. or silk
pulled back and forth a few times be-
tween the teeth. and a nasal wash some
thing like the alkaline antiseptic solu-
ton.
Peroxide Of hydrogen swirled and
sucked back and forth between the
teeth. or milk OF magnesia used for Its
mechanical effects may act as a make
shift In the end. however. you will do
best for your own health and your posi-
ton in this workaday world, IL you
make your quarterly visit TO the dentist
and to the throat doctor.
Relief may be obtained from this an
noying feature by taking half T. dozen
five-grain charcoal tablets two or three
times a day. Spraying the nostrils with
diluted Dobel's solution may help. The
insertion Of vase;ine impregnated with
balsam Of Peru into the nose Is also
beneficial. as well as a few drops Of
tincture Of benzoin of creosote, or men,
thol upon the margins OF the gums or
the surface Of the tonsiis. Be sure the
bowels are kept active and regular.
