ACID AND ALKALI IN THE STOMACH.
DIGEST THE- FOOD NATURALLY IF IN KIGHT PKOPORTION; IF iNOT, THEN DYSPEPSIA. Acid and alkali make up the liquid known as gastric juice which digests your food. •
If through abuse of the stomach or weakness of blood or through scores of other causes this gastric juice is not inado up correctly of acid and alkali, your stomach cannot digest food.
Such a stomach then acts as a pit, where the food lies, ferments, decays, is thrown off at last, either in the intestines, or is vomited from tho system. If thrown into tho 'intestines a large proportion of it is taken up and passed into the blood, for the intestines are covered on the insido surfaces with millions of littla mouths, which are placed there to suck up nourishment for the blood.
You may readily see that if instead of good, rich nourishment, there are vile poisonous, fermented bile and acid, these same little mouths suck some of it by necessity, and pass it into the blood. The blood, in turn, throws it off, and tho systern is immediately placed in an imperfect state.
Tho blood is weakened, tho tissues lose strength, tho skin becomes diseased, aud man in general suffers in a score of places. Then, again, the blood furnished gastric juice to the stomach, for when tho gastric juice is not needed for digestive purposes it goes back to the blood. When food comes into the stomach tho nerves along the alimentary canal and in tho mouth signal the brain for help, and tho blood immediately furnishes sufficient gastric juice to do tho work well and quickly. Dr. Sheldon's Digestive Tubules eo into the stomach, balanco tho gastric juice, digest the food, are taken up by the' blood, purify it, and when the food comes again to tho stomach a natural gastric juice of right proportion greets it, and dees the work perfectly. After a time these little tahules restore Nature, build up the gastric juice, and there is no longer dyspepsia. Dr. Sheldon's Digestive Tahules aro ohtainable everywhere at 2s.
