DO YOU HUMOUR YOUR STOMACH?

There are plenty of remedies by which you can relieve for the time the heartburn, pain and gas on the stomach and can soothe nervous sensations and induce artificial sleep. You can humour your stomach by giving it predigested food. But when you take your next meal all your trouble begins afresh. There is one sensible thing to do. Strengthen the stomach and do away with the necessity for drugs and artificial foods. The stomach, once in proper condition, will do its own work better than any process devised by man can do it.
