RELIEF PROM INDIGESTION, can be obtained in from two to five minutes by taking half a teaspoonful of Bisurated Magnesia in a little water immediately after eating or whenever pain is felt. Thousands who have tried it say there is nothing like Bisurated Magnesia for indigestion, gastritis, acidity and dyspepsia. That this is perfectly trite will be quite clear when it is understood that the pains and discomforts which .accompany derangements of the stomach are usually due to fermentation resulting from an excess of acid in the stomach, and further that Bisurated Magnesia is simply and purely an antiacid the sole purpose of which is to counteract, nullify and neutralise acidity. Hence the relief from indigestion following the taking of Bisurated Magnesia, which may bo obtained from any chemist. Tho sooner you commence taking Bisurated Magnesia the quicker will you be freed from indigestion. Wisdom counsels the purchase of a bottle to-day,
