Tells DYSPEPHCS
What TO EAT
Avoid Indigestion, Sour Acid Stomach.
Heartburn, Gas on Stomach, Etc.

Indigestion and practically all forms OF
stomach trouble, say medical authorities
are due nine times out of ten TO an excess
Of hydrochloric acid In the stomach.
Chronic "acid stomach" Is exceedingly dan
gerous and sufferers should do either one
Of two things.
Either they can go on a limited and often
disagreeable diet. avoiding foods that dis
agree with them, that irritate the stomach
and lead to excess acid secretion, or they
can eat as they please In reason and make
it a practice 70 counteract the effect of the
harmful acid and prevent the formation Of
gas, sourness or premature fermentation
by the use of a little Blsurated Magnesia
at their meals
There Is probably no better, safer or
more reliable stomach antiacid than Bisu-
rated Magnesla and IL is widely used for
this purpose. 10 has no direct action on
the stomach and is not a digestent But
teaspoonful OF the powder or couple of
hve-grain tablets taken in a little water
with the food will neutralize the excess
acidity which may be present and prevent
Its further formation. This removes the
whole cause Of the trouble and the meal di-
gests naturally and BEAUTIFULLY without
need of pepsin pills or artificial digestents.
Get a few ounces of Bsurated Magnesia
from any reliable druggist. Ask for either
powder or tablets II never comes as a
liquid, milk or citrate and in the bisurated
form is not a laxative. Try this plan and
eat what yon want at your next meal and
