Most Indigestion Really ‘Acidity;’ Nearly everybody suffers at times after eating. Some folk call Mils, indigestion, some dyspepsia, some heartburn, others gastritis, but no matter what you call -'if the chances are ten to one that tlie cause of the trouble is ‘acidity.’ Excess ■stomach acid sours food before it lias a chance to digest, fermentation sets in and painful gases form. Tlie ■ surest and only logic?] way to relieve digestive trouble therefore is to remove the acid that causes it. ‘Bisura ted’ Alagnesia not only does this instantly, but it also soothes, heals and protects the inflamed stomach lining so that healthy digestion follows painlessly and naturally. Get a package of Bisurated’ Mn<sn."<nn from your chemist to-day: it is the one thing that will really lido vrw stomach and rid you of digestive troubles completely.
