THE SPELLING MATCH

1t modern scientific investigator

from the results OF those tests to form

OF this evidence. are supposed to

In the first place. tho Investigator

to acidity or food fermentation-and
over ninety per cent. of stomach COM
plants are due to these causes-go
to your. druggist and get 80 cents

eat or have pain in the stomach take
n teaspoonful in a little hot water
and note how quickly all pain and

thousands of soldiers use this simple
remedy at the front and many at
tribute their freedom from all diges-
tive troubles in spite of exposure
hasty eating and poorly cooked foou
to its regular use. Chemists say that
its almost invariable success is due to
the fact that Bi-nesia instantly neu-
traliZes the excess acid and stops fer
mentation, thus promoting healthy,
natural digestion. Being absolutely
