Acid Stomach

There are millions Of people who
suffer, almost daily from the horrors
Of an acid-stomach-indi sour,
gassy, stomach; distressing heartburn !;
sickening food-repeating; painful
bloat and that miserable, pulled up,
lumpy feeling after eating. Many Of
these people have tried treatment after
treatment; medicine after medicine {;
others have gone to doctors and stom-
ach specialists and some to hospitals,
but in spite Of all of their efforts they
have obtained no lasting relief or
permanent cure.
These symptoms simply mean acid
stomach. II allowed to run on, they
are very likely to cause a lot Of seri-
GUS trouble. Dyspepsia, rheumatism,
govt, lumbago, sciatica, splitting head
ache, dizzy spells, nervousness, Sleep
lessness, mental depression, melan-
cholia, a feeling of listlessness and
all-goneness-these are just few Of
the disorders which can be traced to
acid-stomach. AS. a matter of fact,
acidstomach is often the direct cause
of those almost incurable conditions
known as catarrh of the stomach, in
testinal ulcer, and cancer of the stom-
ach. The lives of those who suffer
from these serious troubles are moth
ing short Of daily agony. Surely,
then, you must see how important it
Is to GO at once to the seat Of the
trouble = acid-stomach. You know

what acid-mouth does to the teeth
how 1t eats right through the hard
enamel and causes them to decay.
Think then of the havoc that must
be caused by excess acid in the stom-
ach!
Even if you are not suffering any
immediate stomach pains, but are not
feeling just as fit and fine as you
should, you should by all means make
this test: Go to your drug store at
once and get big boz of EATONIC.
1t is in the form Of pleasant-tasting
tablets-you eat them like a bit Of
candy. EATONIC is prepared for just
one purpose-correcting acid-stomach
by driving out the excess acid.
EATONIC literally absorbs the excess
acid. 1t brings instant relief from
the pains of Indigestion, heartburn,
belching, sour, gassy stomach, bloat,
etc. 1t makes the stomach pure, sweet,
cool and comfortable, puts it in nor
NAL, healthy condition, so that your
food is properly digested. You need
every bit of strength you can possibly
get out of the food you eat-and
EATONIC helps you get it.
Don't put this test off if you value
your future good health and happi-
ness. You run no chance at all be-
cause EATONIC is absolutely guar
anteed to give you relief or your drug

Anxious to Please.

The mistress of the house engaged
a new servant and gave her instruc-

her bell. One evening she rang for
glass of milk, and was surprised
to see Martha appear with the glass
grasped in her hand.

Martha apologized, and promised to
remember in future.
A week later the bell rang, and the
same request was made. This time
Martha appeared with the tray and
the milk emptied into it.

inquired:
