ACID STOMACH
 S0URS THE FOOD
Says Excess of Hydrochloric Acid Is Cause of
 Indigestion.

A well-known authority states that stomach trouble and indigestion are nearly always due to acidity- acid stomach and not. as most folks believe, from lack of di- gestive juices. He states that an excess of hydrochloric acid in the stomach retards digestion and starts food fermentation; then our meals sour like garbage in a can, forming aerid fluids and gases, which inflate the stomach like toy balloon. We then get that heavy, lumpy feeling in the chest, we eructate sour food, bclch gas CT have heartburn, fiatu- lence, water-brash or nausea.
 He tells us to lay aside all di- gestive aids and instead get from any pharmacy four ounces of lad Salts and take a tablespoonful in glass of water before breakfast, while it is effervescing, and furthermore, to continue this for one week. While relief often follows the first dose. it is important to neutralize the acid ity, remove the gas-making mass start the liver. stimulate the kidneys and thus promote free flow of pure digestive juices.
 lad Salts is inexpensive and is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined witm lithia and sodium phosphate. This harmless salts is used by thousands of stom- ach sufferers with excellent results
