TVHi'J' DYSPEPTICS SHOULD EAT.
A PHYSICIAN'S ADVICE. "Indigestion and practically all forms of stomach trouble are, nino times out of ten, due to acidity; therefore stomach .sufferers should, whenever possible, avoid eating food that is acid in its nature, or which by chemical action in . the stomach develops acidity. Unfortunately, such a rule eliminates most foods wliicli are pleasant to thn taste ajs well as thoso which are rich in blood,.llesh, and nervebuildiug properties. This is the reason why dyspcptics and stomach sufferers are usually so thin, cmacia'tcd and lacking in (hat vital energy which only coine from a well-fed body I'or the bene- - Ht of thoso sufferers who have been obliged to exclude from their diet all starchy. sweet or fatty I'oM, and are trying to keep up a .miserable existence on gliitcn products, 1 would suggest that you should try a ineal of any food or foods which you may like in moderato amount, taking immediately afterwards • half a teaspoonful of bisuratod magnesia in a littlo hot or cold water..' Tins will neutralise any acid which may be present, or which may be formed, and instead of (he usual feejing of uneasiness mid fulness, vtin will find that your food agrees with you perfectly. .Bisnratod magnesia is doubtless lUc ljost food corrective and nnlaeid known. II is not a medicine, and has no direct action on the stomach; but by neutralising the acidity of the food contents, and thus removing the source ol' : the acid, irritation which, .in(lames t.he delicate stomach luting, it. does more than possibly could be done;by any drag or medicine. As a physician! believe in llie use of medicine whenever necessary, hu.l Innust admit that I cannot see .the sense ijf dosing an inflamed and irritated stomach with drugs instead of getting rid of, the acid—the cause of all the I rouble, (let a. little magnesia from your chemist, eiil: what you waul. ,at your next meal, take >-011101 o( the bisuraled niagnesin ns directed above, and tee if .I'm not right.—Advt.
