HOW TO STOP PATN TN, STOMACH,

THE VALUE OF MAGNESIA AND

HOT WATER

Generations of people have employed hot water as a soother of pain in Hie stomach, but modern physicians and specialists have discovered and used successfully an addition which renders the hot water trebly efficacious. Hot water is still recommended in all cases of stomach pain, from whatever cause arising, but still better results are obtained if n little bisurntwl magnesia is added. Hot water attracts blood to the painful part and tho bisurated magnesia . neutralises the acid, which is usually the underlying cause of tho pain. That is why such excellent results follow combination of the two. Headers who are subject to pain in tho stomach, especially after eating, should try this hot water and magnesia recipe. It renders dieting quite unnecessary, for by slowly drinking half a glassful of hot water containing 'half a teaspoonful of bisuratcd magnesia immediately after meals, the dangerous stomach acids arc destroyed, and food remains bland and sweet until perfectly digested. The bisurated magnesia, which is extensivclv used in hospitals, can readily bo obtained from chemists everywhere; but to avoid confusion with the acetates, citrates and oxides of magnesia or equally unsuitable, mixtures of bismuth anil magnesia, it is'important that bisurated should bo asked for very distinctly — Advt.
