Many times, no doubt, you have
seen the above headline in your

of some friend suddenly stricken
with dread appendicitis. The news

that appendicitis is usually preced-'

burn long before he went to the

While heartburn is not always
sign OF an inflamed appendix, it is
always a warning that, something is
wrong. In many cases it results
from Indigestion, which is one of
the predisposing causes of appen-
