Starving in the
Midst OF PLENTY
Acid-Stomach Steals Strength and
Good Feelings From Millions

One of the worst features of acid
stomach is that very often it literally
StarveS its victims in the midst of
plenty. And the strange thing about
1t is that The people With id-stOmachS
seldom know what their trouble
really is.
No matter how good or wholesome
the 1000 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
mai 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, it becomes the
breeding place for all kinds of germs
ana toxic poisons, which in turn are
absorbed into the blood and in this
way distributed throughout the entire
DOdy. And that is exactly why 1t is
that so many thousands of people eat
and eat and keep on eating and vet
are literally starving in the midst of
plenty. Their acid-stomachs make il
absolutely impossible for them to get
the full measure of nOurishment ont
OF their food. And it ddhsn't take
long for this poor nourishment to show
IT'S Ill effects in Il weakened. emaci-
ated body.
You may say: "Ny stomach doesn't
hurt me- That may he true because
many victims of acid-stomach do not
actna'ly suffer stomach pains. Then
again, there are millions who do suffer
an KINDS of aches and pains-head-
aches, rheumatic twingeS, gout, lum-
