Says Indigestion Results from an
Excess of HydrOchlOrfc
97egr Acid. st7iaiN

Undigested food delayed in the stom-
ach decays, or rather ferments, the
same as food left in the open air,
says a noted authority. He also tells
us that Indigestion is caused by
Hyperacidity meaning there is an ex-
cess of hydrochloric acid in the stom-
ach which prevents complete digestion
and starts food fermentation. Thus
everything eaten sOurs in the stomach
much like garbage sours in a can,
forming acrid fluids and gases which
initiate the stomach like toy balloon.
Then we feel a heavy, lumpy misery
in the chest; we belch up gas; we
eructate sour food or have heartburn,
flatulence, water-brash or nausea.
He tells us to lay aside all digestive
aids and instead get from any phar-
macy four ounces of Jad Salts and
take a tablespoonful in glass OF
water before breakfast and drink 1t
while it is effervescing, and further
more, to continue this for week.
While relief often follows the first
dose, it is important to help neutral
ize the acidity, remove the gasmak-
ing mass, start the liver, stimulate
the kidneys and thus promote 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 hTrmless
salts is used for many stomach dis
orders with excellent results.-Adv.
