ACID STOMACHS ARE DANGEROUS.

NINE-TKNTHS OF ALL STOMACH TROUBLE SAID JO HE DDE TO ACI DU'V. A PHYSICIAN’S ADVICE ON CAUSE AND,CUKE. A famous physician whose success* 1 ltd researches into the cause and cure l of stomach and intestinal diseases have earned for him an intejri iiional reputation, said in the course of a recent lecture that nearly all intestinal troubles, as well as many diseases ot the vital organs, were .directly trace able to a deranged condition, of the stomach, which in turn was pibio nine times out. of*ten to excessive,jUeidU,.;,. which not only irritaty<| the delicate lining of also set up gastritis and. slpun',gh..ulcers. It is interesting, to npte jr ;that. he and his colleagues have secured remarkable results by the ifSe of ordinary hisnrated magnesia, which, by neutralising the acidity of the food, removes the source of the trouble. He contends that it is as foolish to tteat the stomach itself as it would he for a man who stopped on a tack to rub liniment on the foot without first removing the tack. Remove the tack and the foot will heal itself—neutralise the acid and stomach Doubles will disappear. Irritating medicines and medical treatments are useless. so long as the contents of the stomach remain acid; remove the acidity, and there will ho no need for medicine- the inflamed lining of the stomach will then heal itself. Sufferers from acidity should get a small bottle of hisnrated magnesia from their chemist, and take half a teaspoonful in a quarter of a glass of hot or cold water after meals, repeating hi fifteen minutes, if necessary, this being the dose which the doctor has found most efficacious inwall cases.
