ACID IN STOMACH
SOURS THE FOOD
Says Excess Of Hydrochloric
Acid is Cause of In.
digestion

A well-known authority states that
stomach trouble and indigestion are
nearly always due to acidity-acid
stomach-and not, as most folks be-
lieve, from a lack of digestive juices
He states that an excess of hydro
chloric acid in the stomach retards
digestion and starts food fermenta-
ton, then our meals sour like gar
bage in can, forming acid fluids
and gases which initiate the stomach
like toy balloon. We then get that
heavy, lumpy feeling in the chest,
we eructate sour food. belch gas, or
have heartburn, flatulence, water
brash, or nausea.
= He tells us to lay aside all digestive
aids and instead, get from any pharm-
acy four ounces of Jad Salts and
take tablespoonful in a glass of
water before breakfast while it is
effervescing, and furthermore, to
continue this for one week. While
relief follows the first dose, it is
important to neutralize the acidity,
remove the gas-making mass, start
the liver, stimulate the kidneys and
thus promote a free flow of pure
digestive juices.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and is
made from the acid of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with lithia and
sodium phosphate. This harmless
salts is used by thousands of people
for stomach trouble with excellent
results.
