An acid-stomach cannot digest food
properly. Instead, the food sours and
ferments and, passing into the inles-
tines, becomes a breeding place for
countless millions of deadly germs
toxic poisons they are called. These
poisons are absorbed into the system
and cause untold misery. So, you see,
it is just acid-stomach, nothing else
that makes so many people weak, list
less and unfit; saps their strength and
energy; robs them of their vigor and
vitality. Biliousness, bad liver, nerv-

just ACID-STOMACH And in adj
