IF STOMACH HURTS DRINK HOT WATER. A SPECIALIST'S ADVICE. "If dysneptics, sufferers from flatulence, indigestion, acidity, gastric catarrh, etc., v;ould only take a quarter teaspoonful of bisurated magnesia in half a glass of hot water immediately nfteT eating, they would soon forget that they were ever afflicted with stomach trouble, and doctors would have to look elsewhere for patients." Tn explanation of these words the specialist stated' that most forms of stomach trouble were due to acidity and fermentation of the-food contents combined with insufficient blood' supply to the stomach. Hot water increases tho blood supply, nnd bisurated magnesia instantly neutralises the acid and Rtops food fermentation; the combination of the two. therefore, being" extremely efficient and infinitely preferable to the.use of artificial digestives, stimulants and medicines. It shonld 1m mentioned though that the form- of magnesia referred to is ouite distinct from the sulphates, citrates, oxides, or the often met mixtures of bismuth and magnesia, and to proven! confusion you should ask 'the chemist very distinctly for bisurated magnesia.—Advt.
