STOMACH TROUBLES DUE TO ACIDITY.

SO SAYS EMINENT SPECIALIST. ■ So-called stomach troubles, such as indigestion, wind, stomach-ache, ond_ inability to retain food, instead of indicating that tho stomach is out of order, are in nino cases out of ten simply evidence that, fermentation is taking place in the food contents of the stomnch, causing tjio formation of gas and acids. Wiiid distends the stomach, and causes that full, oppressive feeling sometimes known as heartburn, while the acid irritates and inflames the delicate lining of the stomach. The stomach, however, is not' at fault. Tho trouble lies entirely in the fermenting food. Such fermentation is unnatural, and acid formation is not only unnatural, but may involvo the most serious consequences if not prevented. To prevent or stop fermentation of the food contents of the stomach and to neutralise tho acid, and render it bland and harmless, half a tenspoonfui of bisurated magnesia, probably tho best and most effective antacid known, should lie taken in a quarter of a glass of hot or cold water Immediately afler eating, or whenever wind or acidity is felt. This stops tho formoutafciuu, and neutralises tho acidity in a few moments. Fermentation, wind and acidity are dangerous and unnecessary. Stop or prevent them by the use of a proper antacid, such as bisurated tiuignesia, which can bp obtained from any chemist, and thus enable the stomach to do its work properly without being hindered bv poisonous gas and dangerous acids.—M,P.P.
