The Folly Of Taking

A Warning To DyspeptIcH.

The habit OF taking digestive pills
after meals makes chronic dyspeptics
OF many thousands of men and women
because artificial digestenIs, drugs,
and medicines have practically no in
fluence upon the excessively acid
condition of the stomach contents
which Is the cause of most forms of
Indigestion and dyspepsia.
The after dinner pill merely lessons
the sensitiyeness of the stomach
nerves and thus gives a false sense
Of freedom from pain. II those who
are subject to Indigestion, gas, flat
ulence, belching, bloating. heartburn,
etc, after eating would get about an
ounce OF pure bisurated magnesia.
from their druggist and take a tea
spoonful in a little water after meals,
there would in most instances, be no
further necessity for drugs. medt-
cines, pepsin pills or artificial diRes-
tents. because bisurated maGnesia in
stantly neutraliZes stomach acldlty,
sweetens the sour stomach. stops food
fermentation and thus insures normal
painless digestion by enabling the
stomach to do its work without hind
rance.
As there are various forms Of mag
nesia be sure to ask the druggist for
Bisurated Magnesia which is the
form especially prepared for the cor
rection OF stomach acidity.-AdVt.
