There are times when we all are tempted to take holiday from the usual prudence.
 Where Is the person who wants to be discreet in diet every day in the year? It isn't humanl
 And 1t isn't necessary!
 Your stomach won't be poisoned by every little indiscretion if you will just remember to give 1t the friendly aid of Phillips Milk of Magnesia. It will sweeten the sour system and put things to rights.
 Suppose you do overload your stomach with those things that bring on acidity? Phillips MILK of Magnesia will neutralize many times its volume in acid. Just take two spoonfuls before and after such over-indulgence. It's a very simple way to prevent those mis- erable mornings which follow too much to eat and drink.
 When you over-indulge--eating.
