IF FOOD DISAGREES DRINK HOT WATER.

When food lies like load in the stomach, and you have that uncomfortable, distended feeling, it is ho cause of insufficient blood supply to the stomach, combined with acid and food fermentation. In such cases try the plan now followed in many hospitals and advised by eminent specialists of taking half a teaspoonful of bisuratod magnesia in half a glass of water as hot as you can comfortably drink it. The hot water draws the blood to the stomach, and the bisuratod magnesia, as any physician or chemist can tell you, instantly neutralises the acid and stops the food fermentation. Try this simple plan and you will he astonished at the immediate feeling or relief and comfort that always follows the restoration of tire normal process of digestion. -But be sure you ask the chemist very distinctly for bisuratod magnesia, thus avoiding confusion with the sulphates, oxides, and citrates or bismuth and magnesia mixtures which are often unsuitable. Soldiers at- tin* front and travellers who are frequently obliged to take hasty meals poorly prepared should always take two or three fivegrain, tablets of bis mated jnaguesia after meals to prevent- fermentation and neutralise the acid.
