If these people could onty re- alize that the return to health and strength would be greatly helped by giving attention to the stom- ach—that is, removing the acidity and toxic poisons from the entire digestive tract, making it act naturally, so that the body will re- ceive the full strength of the food eaten—a great deal of suffering would be saved to humanity, Every one knows that the dis- ease itself, and the strong medi- cines that have been taken, upset the stomach, leave it hot and fev- erish, the mouth dry, the tongue cnated, a nasty taste, and no de sire to eat. This is a poor foun- dation to build new strength on. Now, tens of thousands of peo- ple all over this country are using KATONIC for the purpose of cleaning these poisonous after- effects right out of the system and they are obtatning wonderful Tesults—so wonderful that the amazingly quick benefits are hard- ly believable, just as shown tn the remarkable letter which is pub- ished upon the request of this sturdy old Civil War veteran.
