HOW DRUGS DELUDE DYSPEPTICS.

A MENACE TO HEALTH. Dyspeptics who take drugs commit a .crime against their health, for..drug? i do not cure dyspepsia, neither do they I possess til? Fjower to neutralise acid in j the stomach which is the underlying cause of most forms of digestive and stomach trouble. Drugs may appear to give relief in some cases of indigestion and dyspepsia, but that is because thev numb the nerves of the stomach and render them insensible to pain. 1 Herein lies the chief dancier; the svmpto'tis of the trouble av: cover'd up an J ; hidden, while the cause of the trouhle -that is. the acid in the stomach —reI mains as active and as dangerous as ever, and may in course of time cause gastric ulcers to form. physicians have demonstrated over and over again that the stomach cannot regain strength or the digestive

organs recover their power to function normally unless kept free from irritant acid, and this can be achieved i with safety and certainty by taking j half a teaspoonful of bisurated tnag- | nesia in a little water immediacy after every meal. It can be relied npra to neutralise acid and prevent fermen-. 'fcation of the food. i This method is now being employed , by hospitals throughout the country | with marked success, and we are sure ■ the recipe will prove valuable to many j 'of our readers. No difficulty should be experienced in obtaining the bisurated mrgnesia, for it is stocked by highclass chemists everywhere, but make sure that vou got the bisurated form of magnesia, for the oxides, sulphates, and citrates are quite unsuitable.
