FOR ACID. STOMACHS USE MAGNESIA.

The almost universal use of magnesia by physicians and specialists in the treatment of stpmacli troubles, is <lue to the fact that it stops food fermentation and neutralises the acid—the direct causa of nearly all stomach troubles. Of tho many fornis of magnesia such as oxides, carbonates, sulphates, etc., the most suitable and efheient, and the ono prescribed t>.V. leading specialists, is bisurated magnesia, half a teaspoonful of -which in a little warm water immediately after eating will instantly neutralise the acid, stop the fermentation, and thus ensure xiainless normal digestion. Care should be taken to get bisurated magnesia, as its action is infinitely more effective. It is also, by tho way, usually stocked bv chemists in convenient compressed tablets as well as in the ordinary powder, form. Stomach sufferers and dyspoptics who follow. this plan and avoid the use of pepsin, charcoal, drugs and medicines are invariably astonished to find that tho stomach, relieved of tho irritating acid and gas, soon regains its normal tone, and can do its work alone without the doubtful aid of artificial digestants.—Advt.
