INDIGESTION STOPPED
in 5 minutes!
PRACTICALLY all forms of indi- gestion, from mildest flatulence to chronic dyspepsia are caused by excess stomach acid which sets up food fer- mentation, gencrates gas and attacks the delicate stomach Eining. This dis- tressing condition is quickly relieved by Bisurated Magnesia which instantly bethtralises excess acid and stops fer- mentation; thecontents of the stomach are made sweet and digestible, the inflamed stomach lining is soothed and bealed, and digestion proceeds without further hindrance or pain. "Hisurated" Magnesia is used and recommended by doctors, nurses and hospitals the world over, and if you take a dose after mentis you can cat what you wish without fear of indigestion.
