HOW DRUGS DELUDE D.YSPEPTICS. A MENAGE TO HEALTH. . Dyspeptics who take,, drugs commit a crime against their health, for drugs do not cure dyspepsia, neither do they possess the power to neutralise acid in the stomach, which is the'underlying cause of most forms of digestive and atomach trouble. Drugs may appear to give relief in some cases of indigestion /aid dyspepsia, but that is because they numb, the lierves of the stomach and render thc-m insensible to pain. Herein lies the chief danger; the symptoms of tho trouble are covered up and liiddeu, while the cause of the trouble—that is, the acid in the stomach—remains as active aud as dangerous as ever, and may in course of time causo gastric ulcers to form.

Physicians have demonstratetl ever and over again that the stomach cannot regain strength or the digestive organs recover their power to function normally unless kept free from irritant acid, and this can be achieved with safety and certainty by taking hall' a teaspoonful of bisuiated magnesia in a little water immediately after every nical. It can be relied upon to neutralise acid eiud pre-vent-fermentation of the food.

This method is now being employed by hospitals throughout the country with marked success, and we are sure the recipe will prove- valuable to many of our readers. No difficulty should be experienced in obtaining the bisurated magnesia, for it is stocked by high-class chemists everywhere, but make sure that you get the bisurated form of magnesia, for the oxides, sulphates, citrates are quite unsuitable.—Advt. f
