Such fermentation is unnatural, and acid formation i s not only unnatural, but may involve the most serious consequences if not prevented.

This stops the fermentation, and neutralises the acidity in a few moments. Fermentation, wind and acidity are dangerous and unnecessary Stop or prevent them hy the use of a proper antacid, such as hisurated magnesia, which can be obtained from any i chemist, and thus enable the stomach to do (its work properly without being hindered hy poisonous' gas and dangerous acids—M.F.P.
