This digestive aid knows when to stop! 1O relieveafter-dinner distress, many people takealkalies likesoda bicarbonateand prep- arations containing it. And they get the relief they want, because these chemicals neutralize the acidity that usually causes indigestion, heart-burn and flatulence. But the drawback to alkalies of this class is that they don’t know when to “call ita day.” After they overcome the hyperacidity, they keep right on working. Unless you know ex- actly the right amount to take, they are apt to alkalize the contents of the stomach. And that is a great handicap to normal diges- tion, for the stomach should be slightly acid (1-5 of 1 percent) properly to perform its work. Gastrogen Tablets are free from this objection The commendable thing about Gastrogen Tab- lets is that no matter how many you take, they do just one thing—neutralize the acidity that causes your discomfort. Then they stop. They can’t possibly alkalize your stomach. Any ex- cess that you might take simply passes harm- lessly and unchanged through the system. So, next time you feel uncomfortable after eating, try Gastrogen Tablets. They are mild, effective and 100 per cent harmless. They quickly quell digestive disturbance—within 15 to 20 minutes. They are aromatically pleasant to taste, and they are surprisingly good for sweetening the breath. Your druggist has them in handy pocket tins of 15 tablets for 20c; also in cabinet size bottles of 60 tablets for 60c.
