INDIGESTION DYSPEPSIA GASTRITIS, THEN ULCERATION WHY MAGNESIA SHOULD BE TAKEN A'FTEK EVERY MEAL. A flushed face may be the first noticeable symptom ol indigestion, but disregard this warning and soon there Is unmistakable pain, for indigestion is a progressive ailment. At first the symptoms may be allayed by pepsin, bismuth or eoda, but these tilings do not overcome the acid in s the stomach, which is usually the underlying cause of the trouble, and consequently the acid accumulates and the occasional attack of indigestion becomes chronic dyspepsia. The dyspeptic Is always particularly liable to gastritis, and gastric ulcers in the stomach are only too often the forerunners of peritonitis and death. That is why physicians lay such stress upon the importance of keeping the stomach free from harmful acid, and are continuously advising chronic dyspeptics as well as those who only experience occasional attacks of indigestion, to keep a litle upre bisuratcd magnesia handy, and take half a teaspoonful In a little water after every meal. Local chemists svjck "bisuratcd" magnesia; in fact, they have lately been making quite a speciality of it, and we would certainly advise readers having any form of digestive or stomach, trouble to obtain a supply, and give it a trial. Remember, though, that it is 'bisurated" magnesia which physicians recommend; the oxides, citrates, and sulphates of magnesia or crude mixtures of bismuth and magnesia would probably do more harm than good. A PANACEA FOR ALL STOMACH TROUBLES, is found in Dr. Sheldon's Digestive T.i'li'ules, which digest what .you cat and give the weary stomach ft wucli-needed rest. Price, Is 6d and 2a M per tin. Obtainable everywhere. Johnson Bros., New Plymouth and Hancock, Chemist) Elthanv
