Ing the baccarat bank at the Gould
casino in Nice all winter-the Greek
syndicate having walked out until
government taxes are reduced-is
chief Of the new South American
syndicate.
There is some North American
money in it, but the bulk has been
subscribed by South Americans,

The syndicate will play chiefly in
France. with occasional voyages to

WHEN YOU GET
INDIGESTION
Here Is Safe, Speedy Relief

If you ever have gas, fatulence,
uncomfortable "fullness" after meals,
or your stomach burns after eating.
don't just wait for the discomfort to
pass off. Digestive trouble is nearly
always due to excess acid in the
stomach which interrupts digestion,
fermentS food, attacks the stomach
lining and may in time be followed
by dangerous stomach ulcers. You
can avoid this danger and promptly
relieve discomfort by taking little
'Bisurated" Magnesia-either pow
der or tablets-after meals or when
ever pain is felt. Excess acid is in
stantly neutralized, fermentation
stops, gas is dispersed, pain disap-
pears and the sore infamed stomach
lining is Soothed and strengthened.
1ndigestion;s however mild, should
never be ignored, and sufferers
shoulAs follow the practice of thou
sands sfrI aYer the world, by getting
Seaeen deckage of "Bisurated''
Magne and .bm Hook Drug Co. or
the rborst drug store. It's use
means complete stomach ease. and
freedom from acid indigestion.-Ad-
NertiSenent.
