English Doctor writes :-

"I And that Bisurated' Magnesia taken after most of my meals is the only thing that keeþume free from pain and discomfort, and I take it regularly. I often prescribe it for my patients, and have had very good results."

THE English doctor is the most conservative medical man in the world, and when he not only recommenda but personally uses a remedy there can be no more son- vincing proof of its efficacy. This doctor is bát one of many who constantly advise the use of 'Elisurated' Magnesia in all cases of indigestion. Most stomach trouble is caused by acidity, and the reason, why "Bisarated' Magoasia gives quick relief is that it in- stantly neutralises excess acid and soothes, heali and strengthens the infiamed stomach lining. Nothing could be simpler, 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' Diagnesia Afsar eating or whenever pain is felt.

The machinery consisted of two great lattice masts, each of which had suspended from the top cabins resembling lift cages. Visitors to the White City were put into the cabins, and the masts were swung slowly to the vertical until the whole Exhibition grounds were seen spread cut below. The arms returned to the horizontal in op- pasite directions, the two cabins
