Naturally, the sensible thing to do ig to strike right at the very cause of this trouble and clean the excess acid out of the stomach. Thereis a quick, easy way to do this. A wonderful new remedy t?l\nckly removes: the excess acid without the slightest dis- comfort.. Itis. EATONIC. Made in the form of tablets—they are good to eat—just like a bit of candy. They literally absorb the injurious excess acid and carry it away through the intestines. - They also drive the bloat One of the worst features of acid- stomach is that very often it literally starves its victims in the midst of plenty, And the strange thin about it is that the l?eqple with acid- stomachs seldom know what their trouble really is. No matter how good or wholesame the food may be, or how much they - eat, they do not gain .in strength. This is. clearly explained by the fact that-an acid-stomach cannot gm Jy digest food. Instead of ealthy, normal digestion, the excess acid causes the food te sour and fer- ment. Then when this mass of sour, fermented food, ch: with excess acid, passesinto the intestines, it be- comes the breedinF place for ali kinds of germs and toxic_poisons, which in turn are absorbed into the blood and in this way distributed ‘throughout the entire body. And that is exactly why it is that so many thousands people eat and eat and keep on eating and yet are literally starvi nme midst of plenty. Their acid-st s make it absolutely impossible for them to get the full measure of nour- ishment out of their food. And it doesn't take long for this poor nour- ishment to show its ill effects in a weakened, emaciated body. Youmaysay: ‘‘My stomach doesn’t hurt me.’’ That may be true because many victims of acid-stomach do not actually suffer stomach pains. ‘Then again, there are millions who dosuffer all kinds of aches and pains—head- aches, rheumatic twinges, gout, lum- ins around. the heart and in the chast—who never dream that an feelitwork.
