WHAT DYSPEPTICS SHOULD HAT. . A PHYSICIAN'S ADVICE. "Indigestion and practically all forms of stomach trouble are, nine times out of ten, due to acidity; therefore stomach sufferers should, whenever possible, avoid eating food that is acid its nature, or which by chemical action in the stomach develops acidity. Unfortunately, such a rule eliminates most foods which aro pleasant to the taste as well as those which are rich in blood, flesh, and nervebnild'ing properties. This is the rea6on why dyspeptics and stomach sufferers aro usually so thin, emaciated and lacking in that vital energy which can only come from a well-fed body. For the benefit of those sufferers who have been obliged to exclude from their diet all starchy, sweet or fatty food, arid are trying to keep np a miserable existence on gluten products, I would suggest that you should try a meal of any food or foods wlvich you may like in moderate amount, taking immediately afterwards half a teaspoonful of bisurated magnesia in a little hot or cold water. This will neutralise any acid which may be present, or which may bo formed, and instead of the usual feeling of uneasiness and fulness, you will find that your food agrees with you perfectly. Bisurated magnesia is doubttos the best food corrective and antacid known. It is not a medicine, and has no direct action on Hie stomach: but by neutralising the acidity of the food-contents, and thus removing the source of tho acid irritation which inflames the delicate stomach lining, it does more than could possibly be done by any drug or medicine. As a physician I believe in tho uso of medicine whenever necessary, but I must; admit that I cannot see the sense of dosing an inflamed and irritated stomach with drugs instead of getting rid of the acid—the cause of all the trouble. Get. n little bisurated magnesia from your chemist, oat what yon want at your next meal, take some of the bisura.lnl magnesia, as directed above, and 6co if I'ni not jjght.'-'—Advt,
