DYSPEPTICS NEED NOT DIET. A SIMPLE MEANS OF PREVENTING FOOD FERMENTATION. Food fermentation is the cause o£ all llie discomfort and pain dyspeptics suffer. It does not necessarily follow, however, that in order to obtain relief they must deny themselves the enjoyment they derive from eating so-called indigestible luxuries. The most satisfactory method of overcoming the difficulty would be to prevent the fermentation at all, and this can bo done by a very simple means. It must first be explained that most of the foods we eat contain a certain quantity of acid-form-ing elements, and indigestible foods, of course, contain a larger proportion. When these foods are eaten, the acid collects, irritates the walls of the stomach, and causes the food to ferment while it is digesting. This fermenting food also gives off gas which distends the stomach, causing that full, uncomfortable feeling so often noticed after eating. The root of the trouble is the acid fermentation. To successfully prevent the fermentation, this acidity must be neutralised, and for this purpose ordinary bisuratod magnesia has been found most valuable. Try half a teaspoonful in a quarter glass of warm water after eating, and see how quickly it will relieve any signs of fermentation. A second dose should be taken later in cases where the acidity is greater, ,and the discomfort returns. Any chemist will supply you with bisurated magnesia, and if you always carry some you can eat what food you wish and have no fear of inconvenience. Be sure you get bisurated magnesia, as this is the only form that effectively neutralises the acid and at the same time may be used regularly without harmful after-effects.

TAKE NO OTHER. "For nine years I suffered with a liver disorder and tried numerous medicines, obtaining very little relief," writes Miss Esther J. Coles. Major's Creek, X.S.W. "After taking Chamberlain's Tablets regularly for a fortnight I found I was greatly benefited, and urn now completely restored to health. My father, who is 70, is an invalid and is troubled with constipation, but has obtained the greatest benefit from Chamberlain's Tablets. Rather than use any other medicine we have often sent into Braidwood, that ia twenty miles away, for Chamberlain's Tablets,'" All chemists and storekeepers.
