CATARRH OF STOMACH IS VITALLY DANGEROUS

"Thousands Have It and Don't Know It," says Physician. Frequently Mistaken for Simple Indigestion— How to Recognise and Treat It. "Thousands of people suffer more or less constantly from a furred or coated tongue, bad breath, sour, burning ' stomach, frequent vomiting, rumbling m stomach, bitter belching of gas and stomach acidity, and call It indigestion when m reality their trouble is due to gastric catarrh of the stomach," writes ■ a Now York physician. Catarrh of the stomach is dangerous, ! because the mucous membrane lining ! of the stomach is thickened and a coating of phlegm covers the surface so that the digestive fluids cannot mix with the food and digest it. This condition soon breeds deadly disease m the fermented, unassimilated food. The blood is polluted and carries the infection down into the lower bowels and throughout the body. Gastric ulcers are apt to form, causing pain that doubles up the victim like a jack-knife, and frequently an ulcer is the first- sign of a fatal cancer. In catarrh of the stomach a good safe treatment is to take before meals a teaspoonful of pure SaliX Magnesia m half a glass of water as hot as you can comfortably drink it. The hot water washes the mucus from the stomach walls and draws the blood to the stomach, while the SaliX Magnesia Is an excellent absorbent for mucus, and increases the efficiency of the hotwater treatment. Moreover, the SaliX Magnesia will serve as a powerful but harmless antacid, which will neutralise any excess hydruchlorlc acid that may be In your stomach, and sweeten its food contents. Easy, natural digestion without distress of \ any kind should soon follow. The SaliX Magnesia > Is harmless, pleasant and easy to take, and can be obtained from any local chemist". Don't confuse SaliX Magnesia ■ with other forms of Magnesia, granu-? lar citrates, etc., but get it m the pure SailX form, either powder or tablets, specially prepared for this purpose.*
