Catarrh of the stomach has long been Sour the next thing to incurable. The usual symptoms are a full or bloating sensation after eating, accompanied sometimes with sour or wateryrising, a formation of gases, causing pressure on the heart and lungs and difficult breathing; headache, fickle ‘ppetite, nervousness and a general played out, languid feeling. There is often a foul taste in the mouth, coated tongue, and if the interior of the stomach could be seen it — show a slimy, inflamed condition. The care for this common and obstinate trouble is found in a treatment which causes the food to be readily, throughly digested before it has time to ferment and irritate the delicate mucous surfaces of the stomach. To secure a prompt and healthy digestion is the one necessary thing to do, and when normal digestion is secured the catarrhal condition will have disappeared. : According to Dr. Harlanson the safest and best treatment is to use after each meal a tablet, composed of Diastase, Aseptic Pepsin, a little Nux, Golden Seal and fruit acids. These tablets can now be found at’ all drug stores under the name of Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets, and, not being a patent medicine, can be used : with perfect safety and assurance that healthy appetite and thorough digestion will follow their regular use after meals.

Catarrh of the stomach has long been Sour the next thing to incurable. The usual symptoms are a full or bloating sensation after eating, accompanied sometimes with sour or wateryrising, a formation of gases, causing pressure on the heart and lungs and difficult breathing; headache, fickle ‘ppetite, nervousness and a general played out, languid feeling. There is often a foul taste in the mouth, coated tongue, and if the interior of the stomach could be seen it — show a slimy, inflamed condition. The care for this common and obstinate trouble is found in a treatment which causes the food to be readily, throughly digested before it has time to ferment and irritate the delicate mucous surfaces of the stomach. To secure a prompt and healthy digestion is the one necessary thing to do, and when normal digestion is secured the catarrhal condition will have disappeared. : According to Dr. Harlanson the safest and best treatment is to use after each meal a tablet, composed of Diastase, Aseptic Pepsin, a little Nux, Golden Seal and fruit acids. These tablets can now be found at’ all drug stores under the name of Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets, and, not being a patent medicine, can be used : with perfect safety and assurance that healthy appetite and thorough digestion will follow their regular use after meals.
