STOMACH TROUBLES
ARE DUE TO ACIDITY
fells Safe, Certain, Speedy Relief For
Acid Indigestion.
So-called stomach troubles, such as in-
digestion, gas, sourness, stomach-ache and
inability to retain food are in probably j
Mine cases out of ten. simply evidence that j
excessive secretion of acid is taking place
<n the stomach, causing the formation of j
gas and acid indigestion.
Gas distends the stomach and causes ]
that full, oppressive, burning feeling i
sometime!? known as heartburn, while tiie j
acid irritates aud inflames the delicate i
lining of the stomach. The trouble lies
entirely jn the excess development or se- j
cretion of acid.
To stop or prevent this souring of the
food contents of the stomach and to neu-
tralize the acid, and make it bland and
harmless, a teaspoonful of bisurated mag
nesia, a good and effective corrector of
acid stomach, should be taken in a quarter
of a glass of hot or cold water after eat-
ing or whenever gas, sourness or acidity is
felt. This sweetens the stomach and neu-
tralizes the acidity in a few moments aud
Is a perfectly harmless and inexpensive
refned.v to use.
An antlacid, such as bisurated magnesia
which can be obtained from any druggist
in either powder or tablet, form enables
the stomach to do its work properly with-
out the aid of artificial digestents. Mag-
nesia comes in several forms, so be certain
to ask for and take only Bisurated Mag-
nesia, which is especially prepared for the
above purpose.—(Adv.)

SAN ANTONIO EXPRESS: THURSDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 10, 1918.
Business men and
the war
THE only real business we
have now is "winning the
war," There is no such thing
as private business; all business
is the nation's business.
Clothes-buying and selling may seem
to have nothing to do with war; but
men must have them; they take ma-
terials and labor and they cost money.
Therefore, clothes that save, help.
You can save by not buying more
clothes than you need.
When you need clothes, you can save
by buying good ones, that last long,
and don't have to be replaced soon.
We make that kind of clothes.
