FOR ACID STOMACHS USE MAGNESIA.

The almost universal use of magnesia by physicians and specialists In I lie treatment of stomach trouble's, is due to the fuel- that stops food fermentation and neutralises the acid—the direct cause of nearly all stomach troubles. Of the many forms of magnesia such as oxides, carbonates, sulphates, etc., the most suitable and efficient, and the one prescribed by leading specialists, is bisurated magnesia, half a toaspoonful of which in a little warm Mater immediately after eating will instantly neutralise the acid, stop the fermentation, and thus ' ensure painless normal digestion. Care should be taken to get bisurated magnesia, as ils action is infinitely more effective. It is also, by the way, usually stocked by chemists in con-/ von lent compressed tablets as well as in 'the ordinary powder form. Stomach sufferers and dyspeptics who follow this plan and avoid tile use of pepsin, charcoal, drugs and medicines are invariably astonished to find that the stomach, relieved of the irritating acid and gas, soon regains its normal tone, and can do its work alone without the doubtful aid of artificial digestants.
