HOW DYSPEPTICS' CAN AVOID DIETING.

A SPECIALISTS ADVICE. A famous stomach speoialist, whose writings have appeared in many languages, states that the old plan of strict dieting for dyspepsia lias gradually grown into disfavour, partly on account of itß weakening effect, but chiefly because of tho discovery that nearly all stomach trouble is directly or indirectly due to acidity. The stomach itself not being responsible for this acidity, but being, in fact, -inflamed, irritated and distended thereby, it logically follows that instead of diets and medicines, the thing to do is to get rid of the acid. For this purpose half a.teaspoonful of bisurated magnesia. in a little water taken immediately •after meals will be found unequalled, : as it instantly neutralises tho acid, stops tho fermentation of food, dispels tho gas, and thus permits tho stomach to proceed with its work without hindrance.. Owing to its prompt and certain action Uisurated magnesia, which is obtainable from any chemist, in either tablet or powder form, should always be used, in preference to tho other forms of magnesia, such as the milks, carbonates or oxides; «nd' it is doubtless duo to this superiority of bisurated magnesia that it is so extensively used in leading hospitals and in the field ambulances in France. —Advt.
