DYSPEPTICS SHOULD AVOID DRUGS AND MEDICINES. TRY A LITTLE MAGNESIA INSTEAD. Some people instinctively shut their eyes to danger, and it may he that instinct, or custom, or habit causes dyspeptics to take drugs, patent foods, and'medicines, artificial digestants, etc. But closing their eyes does not banish the danger, and it is certain that neither drugs nor medicines possess the power to destroy tho acid in the stomach, which is the underlying cause of most forms of indigestion and dyspepsia. They may give temporary relief, but ever-increasing quantities must be taken, and all the time the acid remains as dangerous as over. Physicians know this, and that is why the , usual advice, now given to sufferers from digestive and stomach trouble is, ".fust get some bisurated magnesia from your chemist and take half a teaspoonful in a little water immediately after every meal.
