MAGNESIA FOR DYSPEPTICS. SPECIALIST RECOMMENDS IT INSTEAD OF DREGS. “Only those in constant touch with sufferers from indigestion and dyspepsia can fully realise the harm done by the improper use of drugs and artificial digestants,” remarked an eminent specialist recently. “Personally f rarely advocate the use of drugs in the treatment of digestive or stomach and consequent fermentation of the food contents. Therefore, in place ol the once widely-used drugs I invariably recommend the- use of magnesia to neutralise the acidity and stop the food fermenting, and tin* wonderful results 1 have obtained during the past three years convince me that there is no finer treatment for indigestion, dyseppsia, etc., etc. It, mnsit, of course, be clearly understood that I do not employ or advise the use of such forms of magnesia as citrates, acetates, sulphates. etc. —these would often do more harm than good; nothing but pure bisurated magnesia—the form prescribed by physicians—should ever he used to neutralise stomach acids. This is not at all difficult to obtain in fact. I find that most chemists now fllock the preparation in tablet form in addition to the ordinary powdei. Half a teaspoon!nl of bisurated magnesia in powder form or two ,’°mpound tablets taken witii a httle water after meals will usually be loom! quite sufficient to instantly neutralise the acidity and prevent food Icrmentalion, thereby ensuring painless, natural digestion b>r even chronic satlferers.” x
