There are any number of people who for
years have been sick and ailing, weak, run
down and IN a poor physical condition who
will be surprised-even dumbfounded-to learn
that their trouble has just been acid-stomach,
which is merely another name for what doc
tors call suPeracidity. Yet it is now positively
known that acid-stomach is the cause of a very
large number of diseases.
Excess acid in the stomach prevents proper
digestion and assimilation, thus causing the
blood to become thin and impoverished as a
result of which people become salIow-skinned,
emaciated and anemic.
Excess acid causes irritation all along the
Intestinal tract-irritation SO severe and ag-
gravating as to frequently result in catarrh
and even cancer of the stomach
Excess acid causes stomach and intestinal
fermentation, producing poisons which. abb
sorbed into the blood and carried throughout
the system, cause auto-intoxication, insomnia
melancholia, dizziness, vertigo and often
times, yalvular heart trouble and heart failure
Yes, many people will be greatly surprised
to learn that such a long train of physical all
mcnts can be traced directly to an acid-stom-
ach. But there is no need for surprise Think
what acid mouth does to the teeth. The acid
eats right through the enamel-the hardest
substance in the human body. And that is
exactly what makes teeth rot and decay. No
wonder, then, that excess acid in the stomach
plays such havoc; causes so much ill-health
and misery-makes so many people weak and
ailing-unht 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 a remark has an acid
stomach And until the excess acid is re-
moved, nothing WILL help. Remove that ex-
cess acid and the results are truly wonderful,
Health and strength return almost like magic
You can now rid your stomach of its ex-
cess acid. A wonderful modern medicine
called EATONIC literally wipes it out. II
does the work easily, speedily and thoroughly,
1t makes the stomach pure, sweet, cool and
comfortable. 1t helps you get full strength
unless you DO get full strength from your
tood you cannot enjoy robust, vigorous health.
