STOMACH MEDICINES ARE DANGEROUS.

DOCTORS NOW ADVISE MAGNESIA.

' .Insfc how dangerous it is in indiscriminately dose the stomach with drugs and medicines is often not realised until too late. „It seems so .simple to swallow ;• dose of some special mixture or to take tablets <-l some so-called remedy or other alter meals, and the folly of this drugging lis not apparent until perhans years afterwards. Regrets are then unavailing; it is in the early stages, when indigestion, dyspepsia, heartburn, flatulence, etc., indicates excessive acidity of the stomach and fermentation of the food contents, that precaution should be taken. Drugs and medicines are unsuitable and often dangerous—they have as a rule little, or no influence upon the harmful acid, and that is why doctors are discarding them and advising sufferers from digestive and stomach trouble to get rid of the dangerous acid and keep the food contents bland and sweet by taking a little bisurated magnesia instead. Bisurated magnesia is an approved antacid, which can readily be obtained from the chemist. It is practically tasteless. and half a teaspoonful taken m a little warm or cold water after meals will usually be found quite sufficient to instantly neutralise excessive acidity of Lhe stomach and prevent all possibility of the food fermenting. i
