A MENACE TO HEALTH Dyspeptics who take drugs commit a crime against their health, for drug! do not eyre dyspepsia, neither do thoy possess the power to , neutralise acid in the stomach, which is the underlying cause of most forms of digestive and stomach trouble. Drugs may appear to give relief in some cases of indigestion and dyspepsia, but that is because they numb the nerves of the stomach and render them insensible to pain. Herein lies the chief danger; the symptoms of the trouble are cover, ed up and hidden, while the cause of the trouble—that is, the acid in the. stomach—remains as active and as dangerpus as ever, and may in course of time cause gastric ulcers to form. Physicians have demonstrated over and over again that the stomach cannot regain strength or the digestive organs recover their power to function normally unless kept free from irritant acid, and this can be achieved with safety and certainty by taking half a teaspoonful of bisurated magnesia in a little water immediately after every meal. Tt can be relied upon to neutralise acid and prevent fermentation of the food.

This method is now being employed by hospitals throughout the country with marked success, and we are »ur« the recipe will provo valuable to many of our readers. No difficulty should be experienced in obtaining the biiurated magnesia, for it is stocked by high-class chemists everywhere, bul make sure that yq\ got the bisurated form of magnesia, for the oxides, sulphates, and citrates are auite uniuit-. able.
