This dis- pressing condition is quickly relieved by Birdrated Magnésia which instantly neutralises excess acid and stops fer- mentation; the contents of the stomach are made sweet and digestible, the inflamed stomach dining is soothed and healed, and digestion proceeds without further hindrance or pain, Bleurated" Magnesia is used and recommended by doctors, nurses and hospitals the world over, and if you take a dose after meals you can eat wher you wish without fear of indigestion.
