Sour Stomach

This is mild form Of indigestion.
1t is usually brought on by eating
too rapidly or too much, or of food
not suited to your digestive organs.
If you will eat slowly, masticate your
food thoroughly, eat but little meat
and none at all for supper, you will
more than likely avoid the sour stom-
ach without taking any medicine
whatever. When you have sour stom-
ach take one of Chamberlain's Tab
lets to aid digestion.
