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, generates gas and attacks the delicate stomach lining. This dis treasing condition is quickly telleved by *Bisurated Magnesin which instantly neutralises excess acid and stops fer- mentation; the contents of the stomach are made sweet and digestible, the inflamed stomach lining is soothed and heated, and digestion proceeds without further hindrance or pain. lisurated' Magnesis is used and rewanmended hy doctors, nurses and hospitals the world over, and if you take a dose after meals you can eat what you wish without fear of indigestion.
