the best and most effective corrector OF acid

after eating. or whenever wind or acidlty is
felt. This stops the fermentation, swcetens
the stomach contents. and neutralizes the
acidity In a few moments. Fermentation,
wind. and acldity are dangerous and unncc-

a proper antacid, such as bisurated mag.

gist, ana thus enable the stomach to do its
work properly without being hindered by
poisonous gas and dangerous acids.-Advt.
