HOW TO STOP PAIN IN STOMACH

THE VALUE • OF MAGNESIA AND HOT WATER. Generations of people have employed hot water as a soother of pain in the 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 a little bisurated magnesia is added. Hot water attracts blood to the painful part and the bisurated magnesia neutralises the acid, which is usually the underlying cause of the pain. That is why such excellent results follow combination of the two. Readeiswho are subject to pain in the stomach, especially after eating, should try this hot water and magnesia recipe. It renders dieting quite unnecessary, for bv slowly dt inking half a glassful of hot water containing half a teaspoon fill of bisurated magnesia immediately after meals, the dangerous stomach acids are destroyed, and food remains bland and sweet until perfectly digested. Tlie bisurated magnesia, which is extensively used in hospitals, can readily be obtained from chemists everywhere; but to avoid confusion with the acetates, citrates and oxides of magnesia or equally unsuitable mixtures of bismuth ami magnesia, it is important that bisurated A.onld be asked for very distinctly.
