WHAT DYSPEPTICS SHOULD EAT.

A Physician's Advice.

“Indigestion and practically all forms of stomach trouble are, nine times out of ten, duo to acidity; therefore stomach sufferers should, whenever possible, avoid eating food that is acid in its nature, or which by chemical action in the stomach develops acidity. Unfortunately, such a rule eliminates most foods which are pleasant to the taste as well as those which are rich in blood, flesh and nerve building properties. This is the reason why dyspeptics and I stomach sufferers are usually so thin, I emaciated and lacking in that vital I energy which can only come from a well-fed body. For the benefit of

those sufferers who hare been obliged to exclude from their diet all starchy, sweet or fatty food, and are trying to keep up a miserable ( existence on gluten products, I would suggest that you should try a meal of any food or foods which you may like in moderate amount, taking immediately afterwards half a teaspoonful of bisurated njagnesia in a little hot or cold water. This will neutralise any acid which may be present, or which may be formed, . and instead of the usual feeling of uneasiness and fulness, you will find that your fsod agrees with you perfectly. Bisurated magnesia is doubtless the best food corrective and antacid known.; f It isinot a medicine, and has no-direct action on the stomach; but by neutralising the acidity of the food contents, and thus removing the-source'of the acid irritationwhichuinflames the delicate stomachj, lining, ; it does iAoto than could -possibly tyfeklene by'any dlnig-or medhune. : As c phy shSf hri l I- belie ve in' I thecjtse; * b ! f ‘medicine d i cannot see»the sense of dosihg an inflamed and irri-

tated stoitaaSh l vi’ith drugs instead of getting" hcM—of all the trouble. Get a little bisurated magnesia from your chemist, eat whafj,vpu want at your next meal, take sormj of the ’hisurated magnesia as.' directed above, and see if I’m not rigSt.”' ■
