The results of an excess of acid may seem just like ordinary stomach trenble — but they can't be put right by ordinary atomach remedies! Excess acid may be the reason why you wake up fiat, sour, bleary-eyed, bilious — and the reason why fierce purgatives only leave you in the grip of a weakening habit and the same old symptoms. But there's one thing that acid can't face. That's the neutralizing power of Vange Salts, the alkaline remedy with the natural mineral spa action. A tea- spoonful in warm water surges through your system just like the medicinal spring water far away in England where Vange Salts come from. Excess acid is neutralized quickly, painlessly. Your blood is purified of poisons. Your, sore stomach walls are soothed. And that mass of hard, poisonous waste matter lying in your intestines ia softened gently, naturally, and passed out di your body. Then do you feel good! It's marvellous! But the most marvellous thing is that Vange Salts nre only 60 cents a tin!
