REMOVES THE CAUSE OF INDIGESTION

JSURATED MA

NINE times out of ten indigestion is

caused by excess stomach acid which sours and ferments the food, forms gas, and induces pain. The only logical way to obtain relief is to get rid of the cause, and Bisurated Magnesia does this in

tly. It not only neutralises the acid and stops the food fermentation, but also heals and protects the acid-inflamed stomach lining. Thus, normal, healthy stomach conditions are restored, and natural, painless digestion follows. Get a package of Bisurated Magnesia to-day, use as directed, and get rid of your digestive troubles before they cause you serious bar. When baying, look for the oval 'Bismag' Trade Mark on the wrapper.
