Stomach Sufferers
Says indigestion comes from an
excess Of hydroehlorle

A well-known authority states that
stomach trouble and indigestion is
nearly always due to acidity-acid
stomach-and not. as most folks be-
lieve. from a lack Of digestive juices.
He states that an excess OF hydro
chloric acid in the stomach retardo d.
gestion and starts food fermentation,
then our meals sour like garbage in a
can, forming acrid fluids and gases.
which initiate the stomach like toy
balloon. We then get that heavy,
lumpy feeling in the chest, we eructate
sour food, belch gas, or have heart
burn, flatulence, waterbrash, or nau-
sea.
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 while it is eff
fervescing. and furthermore. to con-
tinue this for one week. While re-
lief follows the first dose, 1t is i'm
portant to neutralize the acidity. re-
