Alka-Seltzer
The New Pain-Relieving, Alka-
lizing, Effervescent Tablet
Watch it bubble up, then drink
It You will be amazed at the
almost instant relief.
It is called Alka-Seltzer because
It makes a sparkling alkaline
drink, and as it contains an
analgesic (Acetyl-Salicylate) it
first relieves the pain of every-
day ailments and then by re-
storing the alkaline balance cor-
rects the cause when due to
excess acid.
After trying many brands of
inwttetnw^TO-cBtiM relief for
gas, and all of them a failure,
T gave up hopes. By chance I
tried Alka-Seltzer—1 am more
than satisfied. Geo. Bennett.
