Sour Stomach.

This is a 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 stomach
without taking any medicine whatever
When you have sour stomach take
one Of Chamberlain's Tablets to aid
digestion.
