PRACTICAL PRESCRIPTION AGAINST STOMACH ACIDITY.
BT A SPECIALIST. "Nine-tenths of all cases of stomach trouble nowadays," says a leading specialist, "are caused by too much acid. In the beginning the stomach itself is not diseased, but if this acid condition is allowed to continue, the acid is very likely to 'eat into tho stomach walls aud produce stomach ulcer or cancer, cither of which may render a radical surgical operation necessary, oven to prolong life. Therefore, an 'acid stomach' is Tcallv a dangerous condition and shopld l>e treated seriously. It is utterly useless to take pepsin' and' ordinary stomach tablets. The excess acid must be neutralised by the administration of an efficient antacid. For this purpose physicians nearly always recommend taking half a toaspoonful of bisurated magnesia in a little water after eaoh meal. Larger quantities may be used if necessary, as it is absolutely harmless. But be sitro to get tho bisurated magnesia, as other, forms of magnesia have not the same action in the stomach as the bisurated, and frequently do mors harm than good."
