STOMACH TROUBLES DUE TO ACIDITY. SO SAYS EMINENT SPECIALIST. So-called stomach troubles, such as indigestion, wind, stomach-ache, and inability to rctaiu food, instead of indicating that the stomach is out of order, aro in nine cases out of ten simply ovidencc that fermentation is taking place in the food contents of the stomach, causing tho formation of gas acids. "Wind distends tho stomach, and causes that full, oppressive feeling sometimes known as heartburn, while the acid irritates and inflames tho 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, b»t may involve the most serious con-ec|uences if not prevented. To prevent or stop fermentation of the food contents of the stomach and to neutralise Iho acid, and render it bland and harmless, half a (easpoonl'ul of bisurateii magnesia, probably the best and most effective antacid known, should be taken in a quarter of a glass of hot or cojd water immediately after eating, or whenever wind or acidity is fell. This stops the fermentation, and neutralises Iho aridity in a few moment?. Fermonlation, wind and acidity aro dangerous and unnecessary. Stop or prevent (hem bv thp use of a proper antacid, such as'bisnrated magnesia, which can be. obtained from any chemist., and thus enable the sfcmaeh lo do its work properly without, being hindered by poisonous jjiu, ami Kt'ous atifo-Mi',f
