ceived several threatening letters

Smoot, however. Is still q State
officer.

TAKE SALTS If
STOMACH ISN'T
ACTING RIGHT
Says Jad Salts Relieves Ex-
cess Of Hydrochloric
Acid.

Undigested food delayed in the
stomach 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 Hyper-acidity meaning
there is an excess of hydrochloric
acid in the stomach which prevents
complete digestion and starts food
fermentation. Thus everything
eaten sours in the stomach, form
ing acrid fluids and gases which
initiate the stomach. Then we feel
a heavy, lumpy misery in the
chest; we belch up gas; we eruc-
tate sour food or have heartburn.
flatulence, water.brash or nausea.
He tells US to lay aside all diges-
tive aids and instead get from any
pharmacy four ounces Of Jad Salts
and take a tablespoonful in a glass
of water before breakfast and drink
1t while 1t is effervescing, and
furthermore, to continue this for a
week. While relief often follows
the first dose, it Is important to
help neutralize the acidity, remove
the gas-making mass, start the
liver, stimulate the kidneys and
thus promote free flow of pure
digestive juices.
Jad Salts isO inexpensive, and is
made from the acid of grapes and
lemon Juice, combined with lithia
and sodium phosphate. This harm
less salts is used for many stonn,
ach disorders with excellent results.
