ACID STOMACHS ARE DANGEROUS

NINE-TENTHS 'OF ALL STOMACH TROUBLE SAID TO BE DUE TO ACIDITY. A PHYSICIAN'S ADVICE ON CAUSE AND CURE. A famous physician whose successful researches into the cause and euro of stomach and intestinal diseases have earned for him an international reputation, said in the course of a recent lecture that nearly all intestinal troubles, as well as many diseases of the vital organs, were directly traceablo to a deranged condition of the stomach, which in turn was due nine times out of ten to excessive acidity, which not only irritated and inllamed the delicate lining of the stomach, but also set up gastritis and stomach ulcers. It is interesting to note that he condemns the use of patent medicines as well as of medical treatment for the stomach, statins that lie and his colleagues have secured remarkable results by the use of ordinary bisurated magnesia, which, by neutralising the acidity of the food, removes the source of the trouble. He contends that U is as foolish to treat the .stomach itself as it would be for a man who stepped 011 a tack to rub liniment on the floot without first removing the tack. Remove the tack and the foot will heal itself—neutralise tho acid and stomach troubles will disappear. Irritating medicines and medical treatments are useless, so long as tho contents of the stomach Temain acid; remove tho acidity, and there will be no need for medicine—the inflamed lining of the stomach will then heal itself. Sufferers from acidity should get a small bottle of bisurated magnesia from their chemist, and take half a tfaspoonful in a quarter ,of a glass of hot or cokl_ water after meals, repeating in fifteen minutes, if necessary, this being the dose which the doctor lias found most efficacious in all cases. —Advt.
