suffer almost daily from the horrors
of an acid stomach -indigestion; sour,
gassy, stomach; distressing heart
burn: sickening food-repeating; pain
full bloat and that miserable, pulled

of these people have tried treatment

and stomach specialists and some to
hospitals but in spite Of all Of their
efforts they have obtained 10 lasting
relief or a permanent cure.
These symptoms simply mean acid
stomach. If allowed to run on, they
are very likely TO cause a lot of ser
