Here are the facts about a real roniedy for indigestion-and weakness of the vital organs- that burden which makes life a misery for so many. The remedy is Bisurated Magnesia, a haru- loss yet effective compound which since its inception, has received the written endorsement of thousands of grateful people in all parts of the world as well as the recommendation of doctors nurees and hospitals. Bisurated Magnesia stops stomach pain instantly by removing its cause, it is quite inexpensive, and gither tablet or powder form can be obtained from any chomist. It is the one sure, sane and safe remedy for those who suffer from indigestion, and stomch weakness, but when buying care should be THE HONGKONG ROPE MANU-
