ACID IN STOMACH
SOURS THE FOOD
Says Excess of Hydrochloric Acid
is Cause of Indigestion.

A well known authority states that
stomach trouble and indigestion are
nearly always due to acidity-aeid
stomaeh-and not, as most folks be-
lieve, from lack of digestive juices.
He states that an excess of hydrochlor-
ic acid in the stomach retards diges-
ton 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 eruc-
tate sour food, belch gas. or have heart
burn, fatulcnee. waterbrash, or nau-
sea.
He tells us to lay aside all digestive
aids aud instead, get from any phar-
macy four ounces of Jad Salts and take
n tablespoonful in a glass of water be-
fore breakfast while it is effervescing,
and Furthermore, to continue this for
one week. While relief follows the
first dose, it is important to neutralize
the acidity, remove the gas making
mass, start the liver, stimulate the kid,
news and thus promote q free flow OF
pure digestive juices.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon
Juice, combined with lithia and sodium
phosphate. This harmless salts is useC
by thousands OF people for stomach
trouble with excellent results.-Adv.
