/the ACID i\ 4. STOMACH WOULD BURN A HOLE IN A CARPET (from actual photo) When you feel indigestion pains, those pains are usually caused by too much acid in your stomach. Do you know that that acid is so powerful that 11/ would burn a hole through a thick pile carpet? Chemists have proved that. They have poured a few drops of hydros chloric acid (a reproduction of stomach acid) on to a carpet, and that acid has actually burned a six-inch hole in the carpet. If acid does that to the carpet, you can imagine what it is doing to your stomach. It is when acid attacks the lining of your stomach that ulcers begin to form. Get rid of that acid by slipping a Digestif Rennie into your mouth after meals—or whenever you feel pain. Rennie is a lozenge which you dissolve in the mouth—it is quite pleasant—it mixes, with the saliva and becomes active at once. It contains ingredients that absorb acid, ingredients that neutralise acid, and other ingredients that actively aid digestion and so prevent excess acid from forming again. Don’t neglect acid indigestion—get a packet of Digestif Rennie from your chemist to-day; trial size 10d., family size 2/8. DRI/39 DIGESTIF RENNIES MO iMATBfr JV££D£o
