HOW DYSPEPTICS CAN EAT WHAT THEY WANT WITHOUT PAIN. lu the vast majority of cases, slates a leading specialist, indigestion, dyspepsia and other so-called stomach troubles are in no way due to the fault of the stomach itself, but almost entirely lo fermentathn of the food contents and the resultant formation of acid and gas which irritate and inflame the delicate lining of the stomach, and unnaturally distend the stomach walls, causing displacement of the vital organs and dangerous pressure on the heart and lungs. He estimates that 96 per cent, of all stomach pains, either acute or chronic, are directly or indirectly due to acid fermentation; all of,which he has proved can be avoided by neutralising the acid and stopping the fermentation by means of a simple antacid known among and obtainable from all chemists under the name of bisurated magnesia; half a teaspoonful in a little water immediately after eating, effectively preventing the slightest indication of fermentation and discomfort even in the severest cases. Inquiry among chemists confirmed the remarkable value of this product, but readers are captioned when purchasing to see that the name is spelled b-i-s-u-r-a-t-e-d, as there are other chemical products bearing names similar to bisurated magnesia, but which are lacking in its peculiarly valuable properties.
