WHY FOOD CAUSES IN-
DIGESTION.
ipa
When food enters your stomach, large quantities of acid-bearing gastric juice are at once secreted. If, as often happens, too much is secreted, the food soon becomes a sour, fermenting mass, which re- mains in the stomach a long time; causing all kinds of pain and „Mouble, and frequently endanger- ing life. In such cases, instant re- lief can be obtained by taking Bisurated' Meguesia immediately after eating or whenever pain is felt. This instantly neutralises the acid, stops the fermentation, heals and soothes the inflamed stomach lining end restores normal, pain, leas digestion. Get a package of Bisurated Magnesia, powder or. tablets, from your chemist to-day. Use as directed, and your digestive troubles will be a thing of the past."
