26 Does the digestive aid you use inter- fere with digestion? ASTROGEN Tablets never do, They promptly stop "*heartburn” and counter= act hyper-acidity. But from that pointon, they are different in their action from alkalies such a8 bicarbonate of soda, oF preparations containing it. Soda bicarbonate, which is usually taken, often goes too far, It will relieve acidity, but the correct amount to take is hard to know, and so it generally leaves the stomach with an alka- line residue, which interferes with the normal | process of digestion. For the stomach, as you probably know, must be slightly acid (1-5 of one per cent) to leave the digestive juices free to perform their task without interference from the digestive remedy you take | to give you relief. Gastrogen Tablets never interfere with digestion When you take Gastrogen Tablets they relieve promptly the hyper-acidity from which the stomach is suffering. But there they stop. They leave the stomach “‘in neutral’*—so that the slight acid balance necessary to good digestion | can be quickly restored by nature. No matter how many Gastrogen Tablets you eat they cannot leave the stomach alkalinized, | for when they have corrected hyper-acidity, they pass on unchanged. Gastrogen is pleasant and safe Gastrogen Tablets are mild, safe and effective. They are pleasant to taste and excellent for sweetening the breath. And they do relieve digestive distress with gratifying promptness. Your druggist has them in handy pocket- tins of 15 tablets for 20c; also in cabinet- size bottles of 60 tablets for 60c.
