Tells Dyspeptics
What To Eat
And Avoid Indigestion

Indigestion and practically all
forms of stomach trouble, about
nine times out of ten, are due to
an excess of hydrochloric acid In
the stomach; therefore sufferers
should avoid eating food that Is
Irritating and leads to excess acid
secretion. In nervous dyspepsia,
even when food is eaten within
reason, the acid condition, sour
ness and gas formation ofttimes
develop which may be counterfeit
ed by Immediately taking a tea
spoonful of Bisurated Magnesia In
a little hot or cold water. 1t is
rarely necessary to repeat the dose.
Bisurated Magnesia is an ant
acid. Used in this way 1t has no
direct action on the stomach; but
by neutralizing the acidity OF the
food contents, and thus removing
the source of the acid irritation,
which inflames the delicate stom-
ach lining, 1t does more than
could possibly be done by any drug
or medicine that acts as digest
ent.
Get a little Bisurated Magnesia
from your druggist, eat what you
want at your next meal, follow d.
rections above and see IL this isn't
the best advice you ever had on
the subject of eating.
