ACID AND ALKALI IN THE STOMACH.

DIGEST THE FOOD NATURALLY IF IN EIGHT PROPORTION; IF . NOT, THEN DYSPEPSIA. Acid and alkali make up the liquid known as gastric juico which digests your food. If through abuse of tho stomach. or weakness of blood or through ecores of other causes this gastric juico is not made up correctly of' acid and alkali, your stomach cannot .digest food. . Such a stomach then acts as a pit, where tho food lies, ferments, decays, is thrown off at last, cither in the intestines, or is vomited from tho system. If thrown into tho intestines a largo proportion of it is taken up and passed into the blood, for the intestines aro covered on tho inside surfaces with;millions of littlo 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, fei\moiite<l bilo and acid, these fame littlo mouths suck some of it by necessity, and pass it into the blood. The blood, in turn, throws it off, and the system is immediately placed in an imperfect state. The blood is weakened, the tissues lose strength, the skin becomes diseased, and man in general' suffers in a 6coro of places. .Then, again, the blood furnished gasti'ie juice to tho stomach, for when th«. gastric juice is not needed for digestive purposes it goes back to the blood. When food comes into the stomach the nerve* alone the alimentary canal and in the mouth signal the brain for help, and the blood immediately furnishes sufficient gastric juice to do the work well and quickly. Dr. Sheldon's Digestive Tannics go into tlip stomach, balance tho gastric juice, digest tho food, are taken up by tho blood, purify it, and when the food comes again to the stomach a natural gastrio juice of right proportion greels .it, and dots the work perfectly. Aflcr a time these littlo tabules restore Nature, build up'the gastric juicc, and there is 110 longer dyspepsia. Dr. Sheldon's Digestive Tabules are obtainable everywhere at 2s. Cd. per tin of 80 Tabules. ' 9
