SHOULD DYSPEPTICS DIET?

A SPECIALIST'S VALUABLE ADVICE. '•Dyspepsia, indigestion, flatulence and practically all forms of stomach trouble," writes a leading specialist, "arc in nearly every instance the direct result of food fermentation and the consequent production in the stomach of acid and gat! which irritate and distend the stomach and make normal digestion impossible. The gas, by distending the stomach and pressing upon the surrounding vital organs seriously interferes with thorr work, and frequently causes palpitation (,t the heart: but the acid is much more dangerous, because it irritates, then inflames and even ulcerates the delicate lining of the stomach, producing dangerous stomach ulcers and even cancer. Food fermentation being primarily responsible for all the trouble, it' was long the custom of physicians to permit the use only of such foods as could not ferment, but unfortunately unfermentable foods were soon found to be so lacking in nutrition'as to result in partial starvation and rapid loss of strength and vitality. In view of this fact, physicians nowadays seldom, if ever, recommend dieting, but adopt instead the more logical plan of permitting the eating of any food that may be desired, and then preventing fermentation by neutralising the acidity. This they do by prescribing half a teaspoonfr.l of bisurated magnes;a in a little warm water immediately after meals. This simple antacid is obtainable from any chemist, and so remarkable are its peculiar properties, that dyspeptics and stomach sufferers can "cat practically anything they want so long as a little bisurated magnesia is taken immediately afterwards." Dieting for dyspeptics is seldom necessary, and will soon be a thing of the past, lie sure to get the same as what the doctors prescribe 1* is misurated magnesia, spelled b-i-s-u-r-a-t-e-d. Other forms bearing somewhat similar chemical names are lucking in its peculiarly valuable properties.
