GAS IN THE STOMACH IS DANGEROUS.
DYSPEPTICS ADVISED TO TAKE MAGNESIA AFTER MEALS.
Sufferers from indigestion or dyspepsia should remember that the presence of gas or wind in the stomach invariably indicates that the stomach is troubled by excessive acidity.
This acid causes the food to ferment, and the fermenting food in turn gives rise to noxious gases which distend the stomach, hamper the normal functions of vital internal organs, cause acute headaches, interfere with the action of the heart, and charge the blood stream with poisons, which in time may ruin the health. It lias frequently been shown that to quickly dispel a dangerous accumulation of wind in the stomach and to stop the food fermentation which creates the gas, the acid in the stomach must be neutralised, and for this purpose there is nothing quite so good as lialf-a-teaspoonfnl of bisurated magnesia taken in a little water immediately after meals. This quickly neutralises the acid, thus stopping fermentation and the formation of gas. and enabling the inflamed, distended stomach to proceed with its work under natural conditions. Bisurated magnesia is obtainable of chemists in powder or tablet form, hut as there are many different forms of magnesia it is important that the bisurated magnesia should he distinctly asked for.
