There are any number of people who for years
have been sick and ailing weak, run down and in
even dumbfounded to learn that their trouble has
just been an aciE stomach which is merely another
name TO- what o@tors call superacidity Yet it is
now positively known that Rcid-stomach is the
cause OF a very 'argc number of diseases,
Excess acid "a The etom&a4 prevents proper
digestion and assimilation, tAus causing the
boou to become thin and Impoverished a result
OF which people become sallow-skinned emaciated
and anemic.
Excess acid causes irri al IN all along the intes-
tinal tract-lrrtation SO seve- and aggIavating as
to frequently result in catanh and even cancer OF
the stomach.
Excess acid causes stomach and intestinal fer
mentatlon, producing poisons which. absorbed into
the blood and carried ghnut the system, cause
auto-intox1cation, insomnia, nervousness, irritable
ity, m entai deplecs:oE, melancholia, dizziness,
vertigo and, often times, v2vular heart trouble and
heart failure.
Yes. many people will be greatly surprised to
learn that such long train of physical ailments can
be traced directly to an acd-stomach But there
is no need tor surprise. Think what acid mouth
does to the teeth, The acid eats right through the
enamei-the hardest So Distance IN the human BODY
And that Is exactly what makes teeth rot and de-
cay. No wonder, then, that Csicess acid in the
stomach plays such havoc; causes so much i'll
health and misery-makes so many people weak
and aihng- unfit for either work or pleasure and
brings on premature old age,
So often you have heard the remark: I've
taken all sorts of tonics and medicines and tried
many different doctors but nothing seems to help
me-" Nine times out of ten the person making
such q remark has acid-stomach. And until
the excess acid is removed, nothing WILL help.
Remove that excess acid and the results truly
wonderful. Health and strength return almost
like magic.
You can now rid your stomach of it's excess acid,
wonderful modern medicine called EATONIC
literally wipes 1t out 1t does the work easily
speedily and thoroughly 1t makes the stomach
pure, sweet, COO. and comfortable 1t helps YOU
get full strength out of every mouthful of food You
eat and unless you DO get full strength from your
food you cannot enjoy robust vigorous health.
