Thought it was a DUODENAL ULCER
Near the base of the stomach, is the part which doctors call the duodenum. It is the seat of the duodenal ulcer which every stomach sufferer naturally dreads because it so often means a serious and painful operation,
Many people who get pain in the pit of the stomach have feared they were in for a duodenal ulcer only to find, after taking few doses of Maclean Brand Stomach Powder at home, that their fears were complete- Iy unfounded and that this wonderful powder had effected a remedy. It is a truly joyful experience.
