The Cause of Stomach Acidity and Fermentation How to Remove it in 48 Hours ing that would be of the greatest possible benefit to mankind, I should say emphatically—“Beware of acid stomach.”’ For acid stomach is the cause of fermentation which, bad enough in itself, is the forerunner of a hundred ills that sap the energy and vitality of its victims. I venture to say that ninety per cent. of all sickness starts with acid stor Yet the cause of stomach acidity can be removed in 48 hours! Nature provides hydrochloric acid as one of the digestive fluids, but too much of this acid causes fermentation, hurries the food out of the stomach, and carries the acid all through the body. As a consequence, poisons (toxins) are formed which are absorbed into the blood caus- ing autointo: ion, nervousn mental depression, and countless ills of which this is but the beginning. ery one of the vital organs in time becomes affected—the heart, the liver, the kidneys, the intestines, the nerves and the brain all decline, for the stomach is the Power Plant of the body. Even the teeth are affected by acid stomach, for the gums recede and pyorrhoea will be the result. Stomach remedies only neutralize the acid because they are stronger than the acid. his ultimately ruins the lining of the stomach. The acid being neutralized is absorbed into the blood only to come back to the stomach in greater quantities at the next meal. How much more sensible would it be to attack this disorder at its source. In- stead of attempting to neutralize the acid after it has formed, why not prevent it from forming in the first place? Superacidity is caused by wrong eat- ing, and the remedy must be found in the field of the cause—in eating cor- rectly. he individual sufferer from indiges- tion, acidity, fermentation, gas and such disorders has not carried his experiments with food very far. Tf he had he could ly cure himself, in 48 hours, as Eu- gene Christian, the famous food scientist, has proved beyond all doubt. The reason which led Eugene Chris- tian to take up the study of food in the first place was because he himself, as a young man, was a great sufferer from stomach and intestinal trouble. So acute was his affliction that the best specialists of the day, after every- thing within their power had failed, gave him up to die. Educated for a doctor himself, Christian could get no help from his brother physicians. Believing that wrong eating was the cause and that right eating was the only cure, he took up the study of foods and I’ I were asked to sound a health warn- By R. S. EDWARDS their relation to the human system. What he learned not only restored his own health in a remarkablyeshort space of time, but has been the means of re- lieving some 25,000 other men and women for whom he has prescribed with almost invariable success even though most of them went to him as a last resort. Chris says that all stomach and intestinal disorders, with their countless sympathetic ills, are caused by wrong selections and wrong combinations of food, and that right combinations of food will positively remove every stom- ach and intestinal disorder by removing its causes. No one would think of putting salt into an open wound, and yet we do worse than that when we keep putting irritating acid-creating food combina- tions into our stomachs already sur- charged with acid. The word diet is one which has an unpleasant sound—it makes us think of giving up all the things we like for those we e no taste, for. But Eugene Christian’s method is entirely different— instead of asking his patients to give up the things they enjoy, he prescribes menus which are twice as enjoyable as those to which the patient is accus- tomed. Christian believes in good foods deli- ciously cooked—the kind all of us like best and which may be obtained at any home, store, hotel, or restaurant. He says that most of the things we eat are all right—but that we don’t know how to combine or balance them. Often, one food which is good in itself, when combined with another equally good food, produces an acid reaction in the stomach; whereas either of the foods alone or eaten in combination with some other food would have been easily and perfectly digested. Unfortunately, each food we eat at a meal is not digested separately. Instead, all of the foods we combine at the same meal are mixed and digested together. Consequently, if we eat two or more articles at the same meal which don’t go well together, there is sure to be acidity, fermentation, gas, and all kinds of diges- tive trouble. At Eugene Christian’s New York office there is a constant stream of men and women who go to him for treatment after having tried everything else, and rarely are they disappointed in the out- come. Some of the results he has at- tained read like fairy tales. I know of a number-of instances where his rich pa- trons have been so grateful for their restoration to health and energy that they have sent him checks for $500 or $1,000 in addition to the amount of the bill when paying it. There have been so many inquiries from all parts of the United States from people seeking the benefit of Eugene Christian’s advice and whose cases he is unable to handle personally that he has written a course of little lessons which tells you exactly what to eat in order to overcome the ailment which is troubling you. These lessons, there are 24 of them contain actual menus for breakf: luncheon and dinner, curative as well < corrective, covering all conditions of th and including stomach acidity, constipation, and all intestinal disorders from infancy to old age and all occupations, climates and seasons.

With these lessons at hand it is just as though you were in personal contact with the great food specialist, because every possible point is so thoroughly covered and clearly explained that you can scarcely think of a question which isn’t answered. You can start eating the very things that will remove the causes of your disorder the day you receive the lessons and you will find that you secure results with the first meal. Many people who have suffered for years from acid stomach find that their ailment vanishes completely within 48 hours.
