FOR NERVOUS
INDIGESTION

When you use your brain it calls for
an extra supply of blood.
when your stomach digestS food the
blood rushes to that region.
To do strenuous mental work after a
hearty meal is to put unnecessary
strain on the system. Busy American
brain workers do just that and do
1T constantly. Therefore nervous in
digestion is common American dis.
case. How it can be remedied is shown
by the experience Of the Rev. Giles
Schumann, Of No. 1882 Third street,
Rensselaer,, N. Y.
II think that my trouble was caused
by oyerwork and worry" says Mr..
Schumann. "For an hour or two after
eating suffered distress from gas on
the stomach and at times had sick
headaches. / lost weight, was restless
and did not get proper benefit from
my sleep. My trouble extended over
a period Of two years and although
tried many remedies nothing gave me
permanent relief until l tried DR.. Viii.
