The stomach can do Just so much work and no more, and when you overload It, or when you eat the wrong kind of food, the digestive or? gans cannot possibly do the work de? manded of them. It Is at such time* that the stomsch needs help; It de? mands help, and warns you by head ? aches, belching, sour stomach, nau? sea and indigestion.
