DYSPEPTICS SHOULD AVOID DRUGS AND MEDICINES.

TRY A, LITfhF. MAGNESIA ‘INSTEAD. Some people instinctively shut thf.ir eyes to danger, and it may be th.at instinct, or custom, or habit causes dyspeptics to take drugs, patent foods and medicines, artificial digestants. etc. But closing the < yes ones not banish the danger, and it is certain that neither drugs nor medicines possess the power to destroy acid in the stomach, which is the underlying cause of most forms of indigestion and dyspepsia. They may give temporary relief, but ever-increasing quantities must be taken, and all the time the acid remains as dangerous as ever. Physicians know this, and that is why the usual advice now given to sufferers from digestive and stomach trouble is, “Just get some bisurated magnesia from your chemist and take half a teaspoonful in a little water immediately after every meal. This will instantly neutralise the acid and stop food fermentation, thus enabling you to enjoy hearty meals without experiencing the least pain or unpleasantness afterwards.”
