DON'T NEGLECT DYSPEPSIA. A DANGEROUS POLICY LEADING TO UNTOLD MISERY LATER ON. Untold misery invariably results from neglect of the early symptoms of indigestion and dyspepsia, and there is always the possibility that stomach ulceration or gastritis may develop. That is why it is so dangerous for those who experience pain after eating, with a flushed face, heartburn, etc., to wait and see if the symptoms will subside of their own accord or become worse. lie asured that they will certainly beeonw worse unless you take steps to neutralise the acid, which is the root cause of te trouble. To neutralise acid in the stomach, and so prevent food fermenta- 1 tion and unpleasantness ofter meals, is quite an easy matter. Simply get some "bisurated'' magnesia from the chemist, and take half n teaspoonful in a little water immediately after meals. Tim plan is surely preferable to dosing the stomach with- drugs or confining yourself to an unattractive diet of easiiy digested foods. It enables you to' eat freely of the ioods you fancy, for by taking the "bisurated" magnesia you keep the stomach quite free from acid and prevent all. possibility of food fermentation. Food remains bland and sweet) until perfectly digested, and consequently there is no pain. This plan is recommended by many specialists, and is worthy of a thorough trial by all, but to avoid confusion with the acetates, citrates, or oxides of magnesia, readers should ask the -chemists very distinctly for the "oisurated," the form prepared especially for stomach use.
