CHEMIST TELLS HOW TO STOP INDIGESTION. SAYS TJSB OF PEPSIN LEADS TO CHRONIC DYSPEPSIA. ! "It is. a wonder some of us hare i stomachs left," remarked a well-known chemist recently.- While all chemists sell a score or more of stomach--remedies for which there is a wide demand, most of them are just pepsin pills, which aid digestion of the food that is in the stomach at the moment. They have no' curative or strengthening effect on the stomach at all, and, of course, do not reach or cure the cause. So the same people keep on coming here and buying and using them until they are real chronic dyspeptics. When anyone Teally asks my advice, I swear by and recommend ordinary bisurated magnesia, which doesn't digest the food at all, but, acts as an antacid and . sweetems the sour, fermenting contents of the stomach. That stops the pain, heartburn, sour rising, wind, floating, fulness, otc M in just a few minutes and the stomach digests its food without help or trouble, which is the proper way. "Doctors make mistakes sometimes, too," he continued. "My own aunt had all kinds of trouble with her stomach for years. She bought and used several styles of digestive pills, but got worse right along, as naturally she would. Finally she went to a doctor, who nearly scared iher to death by telling her she had cancer of the stomach. She came to me with Iris prescription," and told me what ho 11 paid. I thought it was nonsense. I sent lier to another doctor whom I knew very well, and lio didn't tell her anything, but just gave her this same thing, bisu■rated magnesia. She took it for two weeks, and never has had any stomach trouble since, and that's three year's ago. She's my own aunt, and I know this for g fact. Yes, a lot of bisurated magnesia—note the name carefully, as other ■ kinds are lacking in its- peculiarly valunblc properties—is sold in Wellington. All the chemists have it, I suppose, and all you take is half a teaspoonful in a ■little .water after everv meal. It's sll rieht."—Advt.
