THE PACIFIC
London, Sept. 30.
Or recent years, and especially in the last few months, the me. Jght has played so steady un European affairs that the rising problems of the Pacific have bee In shadow. Yet Japan's opera- tions ou the Continent of Asia give point to the remarks of Si Raphael Cilento in an address to the B.M.A. at Melbourne. They are reported at length lu another column, but the warning they contain can be expressed in: word or two. It the White Australia policy is to be maintained an extensive programme of settle- ment will have to be devised. little as Australian trade unions may relish the idea. "Immigra- tion or ultimate' invasion" is the choice. Japan is teeming and restless, while Australia, relative- ly empty, has one of the lowest Birth-rates in the world. Port- Darwin is as near to Tokio as it is is to Bydney-a fact which modifed only by the aeroplane.

English Doctor writes :-
"I and that *Bisürated' Magnesia taken after most of my meals is the only thing that keeps ms free from pain and discomfort, and I take it regularly. I often prescribe it for my patients, and have had very good **ults."
(Signed) Dr. H. GMA., M.R.CS, L.R.C.P.. THE English doctor is the most conservative medical
man in the world, and when he not only recommends - but personally uses a remedy there can be no more con- vincing proof of its efficacy. This doctor is but one of many who constantly advise the use of Bisurared' Magnesia in all cases of indigestion. Most stomach trouble is caused by acidity, and the reason why.. 'Bisurated Magnesia gives quick relief is that it in stantly neutralises excess acid and soothes, heals and strengthens the inflamed stomach lining. Nothing could be stapler, safer or surer. If you suffer with indigestion or stomach disorder of any kind put your faith in European science and make an end of your troubles by taking Bisurated' Magnesis after eating or whenever pain is felt.
