all drug stores sell score or more
of stomach remedies for which there
IL a wide demand, most of them are
Just pepsin pills which aid or arti-
ficially force digestion of the food
that is in the stomach at the present
time. They have no curative or
strengthening effect on the stomach
at all, and of course do not reach OF
cure the cause. So the same people keep
on coming here and buying and us
ing them until they are real chronic

ommend ordinary bisurated magne-
sia. which doesn't digest the food at
all, but acts as an antacid and sweet
ems the sour, fermenting contents of
the stomach. That stops the pain,
heartburn, sour rising, gas, bloat-
ing, fullness. etc, in just few min
utes. and the stomach digests its
food without help or trouble, which
is the proper way.
"Of course there are many kinds
of magnesia but people who have
stomach trouble should insist on get

and in tabletB-neVer as a liquid or
