INSURING GOOD DIGESTION.

Importance cf Preventing Food Fermentation in Stomach. Good digestion usually means good health. So long as the stomach does its work properly disease can find no lodgment in the human system ; the liver, kidneys and int-estines will perform their work perfectly and remain in perfect health; but interfere with the proper digestion of food and an unending train of troubles is set in motion. About the only thing that j , ; will upset the stomach an dinterfere with the digestion is an excess of acid, j usually caused by food fermentation. Food fermentation is duo to chemical action in the food itself. This fermentation causes Ij.be formation of gas, or wind, as well. as. acid, resulting in the unnatural'distention of the stomach and the burning,by the acid of the delicate lining of- the stomach. Medicines and itonics cannot relieve thii? condition—they usually, make it] irojjse.
