WHAT DYSPEPTICS SHOULD EAT, A PHYSICIAN'S ADVICE. "Indigestion and practically all forms of stomach trouble are, nine times out ot ten, due to acidity; therefore stomach sufferers should, whenever possible, avoid eating l'ood that is acid in its nature, or which by chemical action in the stomach develops acidity. Unfortunately, such a rulo eliminates most' foods which are pleas&nt to tlio tasto as well as thoso which are rich in. blood, ilesh, and nerve- | building properties. This is tho reason why dyspeptics and stomach sutlerers aro usually so thin, emaciated, and Licking in that vital energy which can only como from a well-fed body. For tho benefit of those sufferers who have been obliged to excludo from their diet all starchy, sweet, or fatty food, and are trying to keep up a miserable existence on gluten products, I would suggest that J' ou should try a meal of any food or foods whicli you may liko in moderate amount, taking immediately afterwards half a teaspoonful of bisurated magnesia in a little hot or cold water. This will neutralise any acid whicli may bo present, or wlucli may bo formed, and instead of tho usual feeling of uneasiness and fullness, you will find that your food agrees with you perfectly. Bisurated magnesia is doubtless the best food corrective and antacid known. It is not a medicine, and has 110 direct action on the stomach ; but by neutralising tho acidity of the food eontents, and thus removing the source of the acid irritation which inllames the dehcato stomach lining, it does more than could possibly be done by any drug or medicine. As a physician I bclievo in tho use of medicine whenever nccessary, but I must admit that I cannot see the sense of dosing an inllumed and irritated stomach with drugs instead of getting rid of the acid—the cause of all tho trouble. Get a little bisurated magnesia Irom your chemist, cat what you want at your nest meat, take some of the bisurated mngnesia as directed above, and too if, r.rn not.'/islitj"-.—AdvW '
