SPECIALIST EXPLAINS CAUSE OF STOMACH TROUBLE. VALUABLE ADVICE TO SUFFERERS. "There are many different forms of stomach trouble*" said a well-known specialist ree.ent.ly, "but. practically all are traceable to excessive acidity and food fermentation. That is why the results'obtained from the use of drugs are usually so disappointing. Admitting fermentation and consequent acidity of the food contents to be the underlying cau.se of most forms of indigestion, it naturally follows that the use of a reliable antacid, such as .the pure hisurated magnesia, .-which is so frequently prescribed by will produce better results than any known drug or combination of drugs. Accordingly I almost invariably advise those who complain of digestive trouble to get some hisurated magnesia (note the name carefully, as other forms are unsuitable for this purpose), from their chemist,, and take half a teaspoon ful of the powder, or two o-grain compressed tablets, with a little water after meals. This, by immediately neutralising the acid and stopping the fermentation, removes the cause of all the trouble and insures normal and healthy digestion." x
