Drug Clerk Tells How
To Cure Indigestion
Recommends to Sufferers the Best
Stomach Remedy in Augusta Today.

1T is a wonder some us have stom-
aehs left remarked a well-known drug
clerk recently. while all drug stores
sell a score or more of stomach remedies
for which there is wide demand, most
of them are just pepsin pills which di-
gest the food that is in the stomach at
the time. They have no curative or
strengthening effect on the stomach at
all, and of course do not reach or cure
the cause. So the same people keep on
coming here and buying and using them
until they are real chronic dyspeptics.
When anyone really asks my advice, |
swear by and recommend ordinary bisu-
rated magnesia, which doesn't digest the
food at all but just acts as an antacid
and sweetens the sour, fermenting con-
pain, heart burn, sour rising, wind,
bloating, fullness, etc, in just a few
minutes, and the stomach digests its
food without help or trouble, which is
the proper way"
Doctors make mistakes sometimes.
too he continued MY own aunt had
all kinds of trouble with her stomach for
years. She bought and used several
styles of digestive pills but got worse
right along, as naturally she would.
scared her to death by telling her she
had cancer of the stomach. She came
to me with his prescription and told me
what he said. | thought it was nonsense.
i sent her to another doctor whom |
knew very well and he didn't tell her
thing. bisurated magnesia. She took 1t
two weeks and never has had any stom-
ach trouble since and that's three years
ago. She's my own aunt and I know
this for a fact. Yes, lot of bisurated
magnesia is sold in Augusta. All the
druggists have it, suppose, and ali you
take is teaspoonful after every meal.

Lillian Russell says any woman who

The chief objection to cosmetics is that
at best they only temporarily cover up
defects. There are certain true aids to
Nature, which may be applied with di-
rectly opposite effect. Ordinarily mercol-
