GAS IN THE STOMACH IS DANGEROUS.

PHYSICIANS RECOMMEND THE USE OF MAGNESIA. Sufferers from indigestion or dyspepsia should remember that the presence of gas or wind in the stomach invariably indicates that the-stomach is troubled by excessive acidity. This acid causes the food to ferment and the fermenting food in turn. gives rise to noxious gases which distend the stomach, hamper the normal functions of vital internal organs, cause acute headaches, interfere with the action of the heart, and. change the blood stream with deadly poisons, which in time must ruin the health. Physicians say that to quickly dispel a dangerous accumulation of wind in the stomach and to stop the food fermentation which creates vlie gas, the acid in the stomach must bo neutralised, ani that for tnu purpose there is nothing quite .so good as half a teaspoonful of pure bisurated magnesia taken in a little water immediately after meals. This instantly neutralises the acid, thus stopping fermentation and the formation of gas, and enables the inflamed, distended stomach to proceed with its work under, natural conditions. Bisurated magnesia is obtainable iu powder or tablet form from any chemist; but as there are many different forms of magnesia it is tmpomut that the I'isiirated which the physicians prescribe should he distinctly asked for.
