Gas In Stomach
Hurts the Heart
Thousands of Cases of Heart Failure
Are Caused by Acute Indigestion,
Says Medical Writer

Gas pressure from sour, acid. upset
stomach is not only nauseating and
higly uncomfortable but some day it
may prove fatal!
When your meals are followed by
bloating. a feeling of fullness or pres
sure, shortness of breath and pains
around the heart, you may be sure that
the acid condition of your stomach is
producing a GAS that is pushing up
wards and crowding your heart. That's
the reason for the shortness of breath
and sharp, shooting pains.
Whether young or old, the presence
of stomach gas is truly serious and
should always be given prompt and
careful attention.
To quickly Danish gas, cleanse and
sweeten the stomach. neutralize the
acidity-nothing is better than the
daily or "as needed use of ordinary
Bisurated Magnesia. 1t gives almost
instant relief.
