DYSPEPTICS SHOULD AVOID DRUCS AXD MEDICINES. TRY A LITTLE MAGNESIA INSTEAD. Some people instinctively shut their eyes to danger, and it may be that instinct, or custom or habit, causes dyspeptics to take drugs, patent rooas and medicines, artificial digestants, etc. -But closing the eyes does not banish the danger, and it is certain that neither drugs nor medicines possess the power to destroy the acid in the stomach, which is the underlying cause of most forms of indigestants and dyspepsia. They may give temporary relief, but ever-in-creasing quantities must be taken, and all the time the acidc remains as dangerous as ever. Physicians know this, and that ia why the usual advice now given to sufferers from digestive and stomacli trouble is, "Just get some 'bisurated' .magnesia, from your chemist and take half a teaspoonful in a little water immediately after every meal. This will instantly neutralise the acid and stop food fermentation, thus enabling you to enjoy hettrty meals without experiencing the least pain or JJSSS aftgijwards.'*
