PHYSICIAN TELLS WHAT TO AND GIVES SOUND ADVICE TO ; .i-A'LLi STOMACH SUFFERERS;' A well-known medical practitioner recently made the startling statement ;lmt a careful estimate shows that ncar. •y 50 per cent, of us have'some degrea if- dyspepsia—that's about 1700 peo iple here in Stratford. When it war; suggested that 50 per cent, is a pretty large percentage, the doctor, seein;: that he was not being taken quite seriously, spoke as follows, and witl miphasis that at once dispelled all iloubt as to whether or not he was in earnest:—lf 50 per cent of the peo)le of your town had just been exposed ;G>\ smallpox, the whole town won!'.! >e panic-stricken, and yet such exposure probably would not cause anywhere nearly as many deaths as will >e caused, in time, by complication: following mild cases of dyspepsia thai ire being neglected right at this minute. One drink of whisky doesn't nako a drunkard. One day's neglect of a mild attack of dyspepsia isn't joing to kill anybody. But nearlj everyone neglects an abnormal condition of the stomach for months oi years before becoming conscious ol icing an actual victim of real dyspepsia. And neglect, from that timeon, can do damage pretty fast. 11 nay lead to stomach ulcers or cancer. ind terminate fatally.

That means an excess ol acid in the stomach contents. That excess leads to dyspepsia, indigestion, belching, distress after eating, wind, acid stomach, etc. For the cure of any of these troubles, I prescribe, first of all, the use of some common sense. Don't starve or go on any freak diet, but eat moderately, avoid fancy dishes, go light on stimulants, and see if you can't get a little more exercise. Don't take any pepsin or paten! medicines or drugs to act on the -stomach, but go to your chemist and gel a little ordinary bisurated magnesia, and take one-half to one tea spoonful in a little hot or cold water after each meal. The bisurated magnesia is an antacid. It is not to act on the stomach at all, but to act entirely upon the contents, of the stomach—to neutralise the excess acid. That is the way to get rid of your dyspepsia, indigestion, etc., and keep out of danger of developing stomach ulcers or
