SCIENCE PUTS AN END TO STOMACH PAINS

Relief by New Drugless Product STOMACH GAS AND ACIDS REMOVED BY ABSORPTION At last medical science hns done something for those who suffer from indigestion. It lias just produced a new drugless remedy that gives instant relief from the torture of heartburn. acidity, stomach gas. etc. The name given to this new product is Chanlox. It is a highly refined and extremely active form of charcoal. It is common knowledge that medicinal charcoal lias lieen prescribe,! as a remedy for digestive dlstxirhanees for very many years. But the trouble with ordinary medicinal charcoal is that its power of absorption is strictly limited. Consequently. very large doses of it are necessary before it can give the desired relief. Chanlox is at least fifty times more active than ordinary medicinal charcoal. and has fifty times its power of absorption. So minutely fine are the particles of Chardox that, when a dose of two or three tablets is taken, the tiny particles immediately spread themselyes over the entire surface of the digestive tract. Tlie Cliarilpx particles at once nttract nn,i draw into their absorbent surfaces tiie gas, the acid, and tinharmful poisons. In but a few minutes the chief cause of stomach pains have gone. Then, with the acid and gxis locked in its grip, every si>eck of Chardox is eliminated—for Chardox cannot lie assimilated by the organs of the body.

Although tlie finally approved form of Chardox lias been available for general use for but a short time, supplies of it are already on sale in New Zealand- Most chemists and stores have stocks—they sell it in boxes containing 48 tablets, at 2/- a box.
