STOMACH MEDICINES ARE DANGEROUS. DOCTORS XOW ADVISE MAGNESIA. Just how dangerous it is to indiscriminately dose the stomach with drugs and medicines is often not realised until too late. It seems so simple to swallow a dose of some special mixture or to take tablets of some so-called remedy or other after meals, and the folly of this drugging is not apparent until perhaps years afterwards. Regrets are then unavailing; it is in the early stages, when indigestion, dyspepsia, heartburn, flatulence, etc., indicates excessive acidity of the stomach and fermentation of the food contents, that precautions should be taken. Drugs and medicines are unsuitable and often dangerous—they have aa a rule little or 110 influence upon the harmful acid, and that is why doctors are discarding them and advising sufferers from digestive and stomach trouble to get rid of the dangerous acid and keep the food contents bland and sweet by taking a little "bisuratcd" magnesia instead. Bisurated magnesia is an approved antacid. which can readily V obtained from the chemist. It is practically tasteless, and half a tc uoonful taken' in a little warm or cold water after meals will usually be found quite sufficient to in. stant.lv neutralise excessive acidity of the stomach and prevent all possibility of the food fermenting.
