Many times you have seen an aWfully bad oozcy looking face that makes you think It's blood poison" You are wrong, for about nine times out of ten it is caused by an acid-stomach, which intcrfcrcs with the natural digestion of the food in the entire digestive tract. Of course this makes the blood impure and it always shows up in the face, with red nose and pimpy, blotchy, muddy, bad looking complexion. Get rid of the excess acid, keep your blood pure, and sec how quickly the face will show it with good looks.
 Remember too, that when you cat-no matter how good the food, if the digestion is faulty, you cannot escape the penalty in the loss of power mental and physical. All this is the result of super acdty, as the doctors call 1t. Then again ii you eat more food than the body requires, it is con- vertcd into gas by fermentation, or what IS called sour stomach. This shows that even good food taken in excess, can at once become a poison and q hlndrance to good health.
 Excess acid also causes irritation in the stomach, :ntestnes and the nerve flores, which, by the ,.,iiiion run from the stomach and the intef- tines all over the body and directly to the brain. This is frequently the cause of those awful head aches that so many people arc afflicted with. In time it will develop into hyperchoridia it is the prime cause Ot SleGplcSsness, then nervous indigcs ton, melancholia, and frequently, insanity.
 Nervousness is caused by sour stomach because this acid fermentation causes decomposition, makes carbon dioxide and other toxics, which, taken into the blood, irrac the nerves and affect the entire nervous system. In this manner 1t creates nervous and You often hear people say, "1 am so that just think will fly to pieces" and little do they attribute the cause to an acid cond tion ol the stomach.
 A new method of removing this excess acid has been found. Read What q learned Michigan phy- sician writes of his success with if. "1 have had such wonderful success with new method called EArONlC that 1 want everyone to know how
