the surprise of a. news service

Bisma-Rcx is an antacid treatment
that's different from the many
other ineffective treatments you

give you a new kind of relief from
acid indigestion, heartburn and
other acid stomach agonies.
Bisma-Rex neutralizes acid, relieves
stomach of gas, soothes the
lrniatea stomach mcmbraner and
aids digestion of foods htat are
most likely to ferment. Bisma-Rex
