Has Your Husband
Got Indigestion?

Nothing creates domestic discord
quicker than an attack of indigestion.
d. 49, notulug gets rid of indigestion
quicker than Bisurated Magnesia. No
man can be sweet tempered. good netured
or even fair minded twhen his stomach is
constantly sick. sour. gassy, and upset
with after-eating distress. If your hus-
band has stomach trouble neither scold
nor pity him. but help him by seeing that
he has a supply of Bisurated 'Magnesia
(ether powder or tabletsl constantly at
hand. A teaspoonful OF powder or two
tablets taken in a little water after meals
will instantly neutralize the acids in his
stomach that are causing his trouble and
he can enjoy his meals with no more fear
Of indigestion. Bisurated Magnesia is the
special form of Magnesia used by thou
sands to neutralize stomach acidity and
quickly overcome fndigestion-do not
confuse with Milk. Carbonate, Block or
Citrate of AIagnesia. Insist on Bisurat-
ed. Its action is safe. prompt and sure
and it can be obtained at small cost FROM

miration accorded him as the author

whom Sterne had known in France.

addressed after he was married:
