II GLASS OF SALTS GLEN6IWLY SON Says Indigestion Results from an Excess 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, forming acrid fluids md gases which inflate the stomach like a 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-brush or nausea. He telle us to lay aside all digest- j ive aids and instead get from any pharmacy four ounces of Jad Salts and take a tablespqonful in a glass of water before breakfast and drink it whil it is effervescing, and furthermore, to continue this for a week. While relief often follows the first dose, it is important to help neutralzie the acidity, remove the gas-making mass, start the liver, stimulate the kidneys and thus promote a free flow of pure digestive juices. Jad Salts is inexpensive, and is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia ind sodium phosphate. This harmless sabs is used for many stomach disorders with excellent results.— Advertisement.
