Starving in the
Midst of Plentv
Acid-Stomach Steals Strength and
Good Feelings From Millions

One Of the worst features Of acid
stomach Is that very often ii literally
starves its victims In the midst OF
plenty. And the strange thing about
1t Is that the people with acid-stomachs
seldom know what their trouble
really Is.
No matter how good or wholesome
the food may be, or how much they
eat, they do not gain In strength.
This is clearly explained by the fact
that an acid-stomach cannot properly
digest food. Instead of healthy, nor
NAL digestion, the excess acid causes
the food to sour and ferment. Then
when this mass Of sour, fermented
food, charged with excess acid, passes
into the intestines, 1t becomes the
breeding place for all kinds Of germs
and toxic poisons, which In turn are
absorbed into the blood and In this
way distributed throughout the entire
body. And that is exactly why II Is
that so many thousands Of people eat
and eat and keep on eating and yet
are literally starving In the midst Of
plenty. Their acid-stOmachs make II
absolutely impossible for them to get
the full measure Of nourishment out
Of their food. And II doesn't take
long for this poor nourishment to show
Its III effects In a weakened, emaci-
ated body.
You may say: my stomach doesn't
hurt me-" That may be true because
many victims Of acid-stomach do not
actually suffer stomach pains. Then
again, there are millions who do suffer
all kinds Of aches and pains-head-
aches, rheumatic twinges. gout. lum-
bago. pains around the heart and In
the chest-who never dream that an

acid-stomach is the real cause of the
trouble.
Naturally, the sensible thing to do
Is to strike right at the very cause of
this trouble and clean the excess acid
out of the stomach. There is a quick,
easy way to do this. A wonderful new
remedy quickly removes the excess
acid without the slightest discomfort.
lt is EATONIC. Made In the form
or tablets-they are good to eat-just
like a bit Of candy. They literally
absorb the injurious excess acid and
carry 1t away through the intestines.
They also drive the bloat out of the
body-in fact you can fairly feel IL
