It is the worst of folly to neglect such a serious condition or to treat] with ordinary digestive aids which have no neutralizing effect on the stomach acids. Instead get from any | druggist a few ounces of Bisurated | Magnesia and take a teaspoonful in| & quarter glass of water right after! eating. This will drive the gas, wind and bloat right out of the body, sweeten the stomach, neutralize the | excess acid and prevent its formation and there is no sourness or pain. Bis- urated Magnesia (in powder or tab-| let form---never liquid or milk) {s| harmless to the stomach, inexpensive | to take and the best form of mag- | nesia for stomach purposes. It is used by thousands of people who en- Joy their meals with no more fear of indigestion.
