trouble may be, you can get quick relief by neutralising the excess acid that is almost sure to be the cause. 90% of all stomach dieorder is due to excess acid which ferments food, causes painful gases to form and attacks the delicate stomach lining. To neutralise the surplus acid and end your indiges- tion you should take a little Distrated' Magnesia after meals or when discom- fort is felt. Blaurated Magnesia not only counteracts the acidity and pre- vents fermentation but also soothes and heals the inflamed stomach lining, Tu get quick relief from stomach pain or avol digestive trouble there is nothing to equal Bisurated' Magnesia which makes indigestion impossible by re- moving the cause.
