pies around the mouth, canker sores, pain in the rectum, pain and sore- 

 ness in the fingers and toes, inflammation of the eyes and even blindness. 



The stomach and the spleen are liable to be affected by acid in the 

 blood in conjunction with fever in the liver and kidneys. In such cases 

 the sufferer experiences gas pressure, a grating sensation, an empty 

 feeling and an annoying pain for about an hour after each meal. If he 

 eats fruit or sour food his condition is aggravated. When he takes 

 something hot, either liquid or solid, he feels better for a little while be- 

 cause the acid burns the food. However, as soon as the food is digested, 

 the acid begins to burn the walls of the stomach and the pain returns. 



When a sufferer from stomach trouble goes to a physician, the latter 

 generally X-rays the stomach to see if there is a growth of any kind. 

 Discovering none, he then watches the digestion with an X-ray. The 

 only things the physician finds is that the food is digested rapidly, but 

 he does not know that this is because of the fire element burning up the 

 food too fast. While quite common among Americans, this sort of 

 stomach trouble is rarely found among the Chinese because the Chinese 

 food is better suited to their human system than are the highly refined 

 foods eaten by Americans. It therefore follows that Chinese Herbalists, 

 whose patrons are mainly Chinese, know nothing of this condition, and 

 are therefore helpless in the face of such suffering. Beginning in the 

 year 1916, the Fong Wan Herbalist has made a careful study of these 

 complaints from which Americans suffer so intensely. His formula 

 contains herbs for kidneys and liver, herbs for freeing the stomach and 

 spleen of acid, herbs to eliminate gas and herbs to improve the diges- 

 tion. When the blood in the stomach is in good condition, the ulcers 

 heal. The Fong Wan Herb Compound for the stomach and spleen has 

 benefited thousands of people.
