WHAT DYSPEPTICS SHOULD EAT A PHYSICIAN'S ADVICE.

-Indigestion and practically all forms of stomach trouble are nine hues out of ten, due to acidity; thereorl stomach sufferers should whenever possible, avoid eating food that is acid in its nature, or which bj chemical action in the stomach devils acidity. Unfortunately such a rule eliminates most foods which are pleasant to the taste as well as Soso which are rich in blood, flesh and nerve building properties. This iUhe reason why dyspeptics and ston. ach sufferers are usually so thin, emaciated and lacking m that vita energy which can only come horn a well-fed body. For the benefit o those sufferers who have been obliged to exclude from their diet all starchy I sweet or fatty food, and are trying tc keep up a miserable existence on gluten products, I'would suggest that you should try a meal of any foodl or foods which you may like m moderate amount, taking immediately afterward half a teaspoonful of bisurated magnesia 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 feeing of uneasiness and fulness, you will find that your food agrees with you perfectly. Bisurated magnesia is "doubtless the best food corrective and antacid known. It is not a medicine, and has no direct action on the stomach • but by neutralising the acidity ol the'food contents, and thus removing the source of the acid irritation whic! inflames the delicate stomach lining it does more than could possibly be done by any drug or medicine As. r Physician I believe in the use of modi cine whenever necessary, but I mus; admit that I cannot see the sense o! dosing an inflamed and irritated stom ach with drugs instead of getting n< of the acid—the cause of all the trou ble. Get a little bisurated magnesn from your chemist, eat what you wan at your next meal, take some of th bisurated magnesia, as directed above and seo if I'm not right."
