TROVE : The Ballarat Star (Vic. : 1865 - 1924) Wednesday 20 October 1920 p 7 Article 'A LITTLE DOCTOR FOR DYSPEPTICS If you want quick relief from the pains and distress of indigestion, dyspepsia, food fermentation and acidity, just take two or three little tablets of Bisurated Magnesia after eating or whenever pain is felt. Bisurnted Magnesia tablets are absolutely harmless, and enable the dyspeptic to enjoy a good- old-fashioned meal with out fear of pain or distress to follow. That’s why Bisurated Magnesia is called “The Little Doctor for Dyspeptics.” . Go to the nearest chemist and get a packet of Bisurated Magnesia tablets to-day; he sells them in handy flasks at small cost, and with every one is included a. binding guarantee of satisfaction or refund of money. Thus, unless this “Little Doctor” gives you the benefit you desire, you pay him nothing. Bisurated Magnesia is also obtainable in powder form. Beware of substitutes. Look for the maker’s name—Bismag. Ltd., which appears on every .genuine package'. Advertisement in 'The Illustrated London News' 22 July, 1916, page 117. '96 out of 100 dyspeptics have Acid stomachs'. BISMAG LTD, 212-214 Great Portland St., London W. Round clear glass bottle with wide neck and text embossed on side and base. 'BISATURATED MAGNESIA BISMAG LTD LONDON' on side.

Reference: American Journal of Pharmacy, volume 1, page 162. "So rapid is the progress of this change, that it is seldom we meet with the article in our shops which is not more or less injured by it. The first sign of the loss of alkali, is the efflorescence on the surface, which gradually extends till the whole crystalline mass is altered. It is from this cause that we have so much difficulty in pleasing those who are particular about the quality of their "smelling salts." A preparation, called " the Preston smelling salts," has within a few years been introduced from England, and has deservedly been much sought after. The manufacturers have wisely put it up in very wide mouthed bottles, which enable one to inhale a much larger quantity of ammonia at once, and thus increase the apparent strength of the salt. But it has other qualities to recommend it, than the manner in which it is put up for sale. It retains its odour for a longer time and wastes more slowly than the common smelling salts. It was generally believed, when the article was first brought here, that its superiority was owing to the sublimation being made at once into the bottle, so as to avoid any loss of ammonia by unnecessary exposure to the air. An examination, however, will satisfy any one that the salt is crystallized and not sublimed. The superior compactness and hardness of a crystalline over a sublimed salt, are great advantages in so volatile a substance as the carbonate of ammonia; and to this, I have no doubt the good qualities of the Preston salts are to be attributed. The salt may be crystallized with great facility in the winter season".Round squat clear glass bottle, wide neck with rough cut top, embossed text on side.'PRESTON SALTS' on side.smelling salts, preston salts -
