Catarrh ef ill Stwacl
When the stomach is overloaded; when
food is tuken into it and it fails to digest,
it decays and indames the mucous mem
brane, exposing the nerves, and causes
the glands to secret mucin, instead of tba
natural juices of digestion. This is called
Catarrh of the Stomach. For years I
suffered with Catarrh of the Stomach,
caused by indigestion. Doctors and
medicines failed to benefit me until I
used Kodol Dyspepsia Cure.—J. K.Rhea,
