STOMACH PAIN GOES INSTANTLY

New Remedy that Remove* the Cause Y«t Contains No Drugs, Flatulence, heartburn, pain, distension, palpitations, and shortness of breath—you know those distressing symptoms of indigestion only too well. Do you know their cause? They are caused by wind which in turn is caused by undigested and fermenting food. Treatment of indigestion has not kept pace with the knowledge gained by chemists and physiologists. The reason for this lack of success lies in the fact that hitherto most indigestion remedies, containing lime, soda, and other chemicals, though far from being inert, have scarcely touched the fringe of the trouble—namely wind. We have long known that, vegetable charcoal possesses the valuable property of absorbing wind. Tn fact, charcca! has been prescribed for a century by doctors for digestive disorders. But to put comparatively inert pieces of vegetable charcoal into the stomach did not prove very effective. What scientists were looking for was an active charcoal.

An active charcoal has now been discovered in British laboratories! A charcoal which attracts to itself all the atoms of gas and other substances created by fermenting food. This new discovery is called Chardox—superactivated charcoal. It does not merely absorb the wind, but attracts it to ita surface and condenses it. Chardox i« 50 times more active than the ordinary vegetable charcoal mentioned above. After a dose of two or three tablets of Chardox, relief is felt in two minutes. Chardox is obtainable of all chemists and stores, in boxes containing 48 tablets, at 2/- per box.
