There are millions of people who
suffer almost daily from the horrors
of an acid-stomach - indigestion;
sour, gassy stomach; distressing
heartburn; sickening food-repeat-
ing; painful bloat and that niser-
able. puffed-up. lumpy feeling after
eating. Many of these people have
tried treatment after treatment;
medicine after medicine; others have
gone to doctors and stomach spe-
cialists and some to hospitals, but
in spite of all of their efforts they
have obtained no lasting relief or a
permanent cure.
These symptoms simply mean
acid-stomach. II allowed to run on,
they are very likely to cause lot
of serious trouble. Dyspepsia. rheu-
matism. 'gout, lumbago. sciatica,
splitting headache, dizzy spells,
nervousness. sleeplessness. mental
depression, melancholia, a feeling of
listlessness and all.goneness-these
are just a few of the disorders
which can be traced to acid-stom-
ach. AS matter of fact, acid-stom-
ach is often the direct cause OF
those almost incurable conditions
known as catarrh of the stomach
intestinal ulcer and cancer of the
stomach. The lives of those who
suffer from these serious troubles
are nothing short Of daily agony,
