MAGNESIA FOR DYSPEPTICS. SPECIALIST recommends it - INSTEAD OF 'DRUGS. '•Only those in constant toucli with sufferers from indigestion and dyspepsia can fully realise the harm done by the improper use of drugs and artificial digestants," remarked an eminent specialist recently. ''Personally, I rarely advocate the use of drugs in the treatment of digestive or stomach troubles, for in practically every instance I have proved the underlying cause to be excessive acidity of the stomach and consequent fermentation of the food contents. Therefore, in place of the once widelyused drugs I invariably recommend the use of magnesia to neutralise the acidity and stop the food fermenting, and the wonderful results I have obtained during the past three years convince me that there is no finer treatment for indigestion, dyspepsia, etc. It must, of course, be clearly understood that I do not employ or advise the use of such forms of magnesia as citrates, acetates, sulphates, etc.—these would often do more harm than good; but nothing but pure ijisurated' magnesia—the form prescribed by physicians —should ever be used to neutralise stomach acids. This is not at all difficult to obtain —in fact, 1 find that most chemists now stock the preparation in tablet form in addition to the ordinary powder. Half a teaspoonful of iiisurated' magnesia in powder form or two compressed tablets taken with a little water after meals will usually be found quite sufficient to instantly neutralise the acidity and prevent food fermentation, thereby ensuring painless, natural digestion for even chronic sufferers."
