ACID STOMACHS ARE DANGEROUS.

NINK-TENT.TIS OF ALL STOMACH Ifflr s SAIU T0 to A AN^CTKE 8 ADVTCE - 0X CATJ A famous physician whose successful lesearches into th ecause and cure of stomach and_ intestinal diseases Lave earned for him an international reputation said in the coarse of a recent lecture that nearly all intestinal troubles, as well as many diseases of the vital organs, were directly traceable to a deranged condition of the stomach, which 111 turn, was due nine times out of ten to excessive acidity, which not only irritated and inflamed the delicate lining °* | ,c stomach, but also set up gastritis and. stomach ulcers. It is interesting to note that he and h/s colleagues have secured remarkable results by the use of ordinary bisurated magnesia, which, by neutralising the acidity of the food, removes the source of the trouble. He contends that it is as foolish to treat the stomach itself as it would be for a man who stepped on a tack lo rub liniment 011 the loot without first removing the tack. Hemovo the tack and the foot w.ill heal itself—neutralise the acid ami stomach troubles will disappear. Irritating medicines and medical treatments arc useless, so long as the contents of the stomach remain acid; remove the acidity and there will be no need for mcdicinc—the inflamea lining of the stomach will then heal itself. Sufferers from acidity shoi'ld feet a small bottle of ' bisurnlpd magnesia from their chemist, and take half a teaspoonfu.l in a quarter of a glass of hot or cold water after meals, repeating in fifteen minutes, if necessary, this being the dose which the doctor, has found most efficacious in all cases.—Advt.
