TELLS DYSPEPT|CS
WHAT TO EAT
Avoid Indigestion, Sour Acid Stom-
ach, Heartburn, Gas on
Stomach, Etc.

Indigestion and practically all
forms of stomach trouble, say medi-
cal authorities, are due nine times
out of ten to an excess of hydro
chloric acid in the stomach Chrome
"acid stomach" is exceedingly dang
erous and sufferers should do either
one of two things.
Either they can go on a limited
and often disagreeable diet, avoid
ing foods that disagree with them,
that irritate the stomach and lead to
excess acid secretion or they can eat
as they please in reason and make
il a practice to counteract the effect
of the harmful acid and prevent the
formation of gas. sourness or premaI

There is probably no better, safer
Or more reliables stomach antiacid
than Bisurated Magnesia and it is
widely used for this purpose. 1t has
no direct action on the stomach and
is not a digestent. But a teaspoon
grain tablets taken in a little water
with the food will neutralize the eX-
cess acidity which may be present
and prevent it's further formation
This removes the whole cause of the
trouble and the meal digests natural

this isn't the best advice you ever
