SQUIRE KNIGHT'S

HEARTBURN CAKES.

Under the distinguished patronage of the late Queen Dowager, the late Viscount Dudley and Ward, the late Lord Wharncliffe, the Duchess of Sutherland, the Duchess of Argyll, the Countess of Carlisle, F. J. Bellingham, Esq., Surgeon, Bourne; Benjamin Gibbons, Esq., The Leasowes, Halesowen; Dr. Thorpe, The Hays, Cheltenham; Mr. Moseley, Leaton Hall; and the Clergy and Gentry of the neighbourhood.

Heartburn, Sourness in the Stomach, Retchings, Nausea, Acidity, Wind, Spasms, etc., are instantly removed by taking a few of Squire Knight's Heartburn Cakes. When Pills are taken in these ailments they often irritate rather than allay the disorder.

These Heartburn Cakes are pleasant to take, they soothe and comfort the Stomach, act gently upon the Bowels, and at once restore the Digestive Organs to a healthy and natural state. They can be safely taken by all ages and sexes.
