HOW TO STEP PAIN IN THE STOMACH.

Tif i*: VALUE OK Al AON ICS IA AND HOT WATER OrmTations ni’ people have employed hot water a. soother of pain in the * stomach, hut modern physicians and specialists have discovered and used successfully an addition which renders the hot water trebly edacious. Hot water is still recommended in all eases of stomach pain, from whatever cause, arising, hut still better results are obu.iucd if a little bisurated magnesia is added. Hot water attracts blood to the painful part and the bisurated in '.giiesia neutralises the acid, which is u: .;ally the underlying cause of the pain. That is why such excellent results follow combination of the two. it ciders; who are subject to pain in the stomach, especially after eating, should try this hot water and magnesia re- >. It renders dieting quite unnecessary, for b.v slowly drinking half a ssful of hot. water containing- half a te spoonful of bisurated magnesia iinn'c I lately after meals, the dangerous .‘•i coach acids tiro destroyed, and food remains bluiul and sweet until perfectly digested. The biSu rated magnesia - : !i is extensively used in hospitals, can rc dily be rbtnined from chemists everywhere; hut to avoid confusion with the acetates, citrates and oxides .of magnesia or equally unsuitable mixtures of bismuth, and magnesia, it is important- that 'bisurated should be asked for very distinctly.
