Excess acid may be the reason why yon wake up flat, sour, "bleary-eyed, bilious — and the reason •why fierce purgatives only leave you in the grip of a weakening habit and the same old symptoms.

Your blood is purified of poisons. Your sore stomach walls are soothed. And that mass of hard, poisonous waste matter lying in your intestines is softened gently, naturally, and passed out of your body. Then do you feel good! It’s marvellous!
